I was going to ask what the status of games like the Pokemon TCG, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: the Gathering, and D&D/Pathfinder were in the CSA ITTL, but I'm afraid it's too late to ask that now.
Looks like TTL is screwed.
How long might the ACW lasted had the South decided to go into a guerrilla phase (which IMHO would have been terrible for the South both in the short and the long run)?
I second Robert E. Lee as Uncle Sam.
Maybe "Dixie" as a female allegorical figure? Making her look like a Southern belle holding the Stars and Bars might be a tad ridiculous, however.
Nice update! And it looks like you've managed to avert yet another "CSA wins" TL stereotype: the secession of Texas.
Tip o' the cowboy hat to you, herricks. ;)
Just out of curiosity, since we are diverging pretty far from OTL by now, are we seeing any fictional characters yet, or were these all still real people?
I'd say go for a combination of a) plausible and b) cool. Which would probably be a combo of options A and B.
"Dead of states' rights," here we come.... :(
