Jerry Dover was more or less an Oskar Schlinder type, having protected Scipio/Xerxes and other blacks. The Carter mentioned at the last of the book may well have been another.
Still, I have a hard time believing that every Confederate citizen was a Featherston supporter. There were Union...
We know that there were black guerrillas in TL-191, however, HT didn't have much to say about the white resistance (ala the German Resistance in OTL) to the Freedom Party regime. You can't tell me that every last white person in the CSA agreed with the Freedom Party or were scared shitless of...
Remember also that Hitler had syphilis. The mental effects of the disease may have contributed to his paranoid ramblings concerning the Jews. That, coupled with his occultic dabbling.
So let's say ol' Dolph doesn't get the syph. Where would his anger be directed? At France and the other...
It's already happened. Christianity was the government, it spread world-wide and became the pre-dominant world religion per Daniel 2:44.
It has since been replaced by Rev 20's Gog and Magog anti-Christian society.
I'm surprised that the Germans never used their Arado seaplanes for anti-ship operations. Imagine if you will a fleet of folding wing Arados carried in the holds of freighters (think Q-ship). Hoist them up by crane, drop the wings to flight position, set them over the side and send 'em on their...
The war grinds to an ugly bloody draw. Confederate troops have broken into small raider groups, tying up US units. Sherman's march grinds to a halt because he finds that his cavalry can't protect his supply lines from CS raiders. Unable to face the Union army in the field, the Confedracy takes...
Are you familiar with the fact that Genl Jubal Early might have been able to take DC late in the war for real? Apparently there was some sort of letdown in Federal security, but Early failed to exploit it.
Come Retribution by Geddy does indeed make the claim that the Confederate Secret Service was responsible for the assassination of Lincoln. Personally, I subscribe to the theory that Booth was a CSS officer who, unable to accept the fact that the plan to capture Lincoln and hold him for ransom...
I've begun Bloody Dixie: Aftermath since it's obvious that Harry doesn't intend to continue the series any further on his own. It will definitely be alternate history.
Hints:
1. The US will get bogged down in some areas. Unlike OTL, where the CSA simply forgot about fighting back over...
Bring the Jubilee makes no sense though. The CSA, even at her best, could never have occupied the USA. We didn't have enough men. Even if we had invoked the the Claibourne Initiative (Freeing and using black troops), by the time the troops were trained, the North (with all things considered)...
Well, before you go and write that novel, you might want to see what happens in Bloody Dixie: Aftermath. I'm five chapters in and progressing well. Some new characters, some surprises with old characters, and new plots.
HT's writing is fine when he concentrates on new stuff. I found In At The Death better than the previous 3 Settling Accounts books because there was new material.
He's borrowed too much from the current war though, rather than from the history of the time he's supposed to be writing about...
There is always the Bloody Dixie scenario...
Gen'l Lee dies from heart failure on the eve of Appomattox. (A real possibility) His successor requests more time to contact Richmond, as he is reluctant to surrender what he considers a viable field army. Grant gives the time and the two armies sit...
