I'm the first to admit I'm a newbie to this here alternate history thingy, but there's something that's always bothered me about perhaps the most cliche of all AHs.
Currently, some of the United Kingdom's closest allies are the Commonwealth and the United States of America, both formerly part of its empire. Why then, can't a surviving Confederacy be on relatively good terms with the US? It seemed the vast majority of timelines have them as diehard enemies to the bitter end, and that's something I never quite got.
Edit: Sorry, should this be in the other forum? I'm not sure whether the "1900" refers to the POD or the general setting.
