Yes. I'll get to that later in "Flashbacks." Short story: The confederates force a Pyrrhic victory in Gettysburg, and Britain and France come to their aid.
 
This is bold. And am looking forward to it.

The most significant problem you will most likley have is that however you POD looks, it will most likely be scrutinized word for word and eviscerated with a fine tooth comb/brush and a magnifying glass.....
 
Intresting. Hopefully we can know more about CSA soon. I assume that CSA has 16 states. If so, it is amazing that CSA hasn't lost any state after Civil War.

Interesting ! is the name Collierson totally out of the blue (butterflies) or was it the name of some obscure political IOTL ?
 
I wonder if a Confederate victory at Gettysburg could drive the Union to stopping foreign-flagged ships in the Caribbean where the blockade was weakest. Making a British intervention on behalf of a slave power seem realistic is always tricky.
