"Population Reduction".
Holocaust carries so much horror.
But something that clinical? That... cold cut? Makes it even worse, IMO.
Population Reduction where used term in the books describing the genocide carrying out by the Freedom Confederacy during the SGW and therefore used by many people in this thread posting about it.
But they're people using different terms of the Afro-Confederate genocide: "The Destruction", "Maafa" and even the "Rapture" etc
In my defense, I couldn't think of a good name.
I use the term Devastation.
I actually have my own term for the PR
"Uharibifu" literally translate to "Destruction" in Swahili language similar to the Maafa
Another one I use is just "The Reduction" because population reduction is too much of a mouthful and the term is similar to "the Holocaust" in IOTL counterpart.
Also I'm surprised no one used the term Reduction in this Thread and yes you can use those term in your post guys
Featherston's Fictions (1899-1914) is an anthology of all the written works by Featherston that have survived before his involvement in politics and service during the First Great War. Historian Claudia Ann Koonz offers the reader a unique literary insight into the most hated man on Earth and includes reviews, then and now, toward the quality of Featherston's short stories, poetry, unfinished novels, etc.
Koonz hypothesizes that with the right amount of support, financial help, and acceptance by Baker & Taylor to publish his stories may have changed him for the best and spared the United States and the world another great war. A counterfactual novel, The Counterfactual Hypothesis, written by Americo-Québécois novelist, Immanuel Eric Smith, extrapolates that concept.
In one section of Koonz's book, she explains how one of Featherston's last unpublished stories, "The Courtyard", was narrowly rejected due to one of the literary agents from Baker & Taylor calling it, "too wordy, repetitive, and lacked a definite resolution." At the same time, he was praised for his descriptive style of his characters, imaginative setting, and the occasional use of shock value in a humorous context.
Notes:
1) Using one of my previous posts, I was inspired by this book about Hitler.
2) Baker & Taylor is an OTL book publisher that would probably be a Confederate book publisher in TL-191.
3) The Counterfactual Hypothesis is based off this novel.
4) The Courtyard is a reference to this painting.

Gray House, 2015. After the Second Great War, the US government had no intentions of rebuilding the Gray House. However, a private company remodeled it around the 1960s. Today it functions as a museum showing the history of the CSA and its Presidents. Although some have criticized it, believing it to be a glorification of the Confederacy.
Yeah, "Population Reduction" is more in the of how the Nazis IOTL used the term "Final Solution" as their euphemism for the Holocaust. The former doesn't quite carry the same sinister implications of the latter.In my defense, I couldn't think of a good name
Picture of Muammar Gaddafi, 1969, months before his coup d'état attempt.
On September 1, 1969, colonel Muammar Gaddafi attempted to overthrow the governor of Italian Libya and create a dictatorship. However, while Gaddafi had taken Tripoli, the colony's capital, the Italian army brutally crushed it. Gaddafi then fled to neighboring Algeria, where he would spend the rest of his life in. While in Algeria, he would write the Green Book, describing his plans to unite the African and Arabic worlds by force and how his dictatorship would function. Some historians even compared it to Over Open Sights.
Arabic copy of the Green Book.
Gaddafi died of heart failure around the 1970s, around the same time when Italian rule over Libya ended. Today Gaddafi is a controversial figure in Libya. While the day of the coup is celebrated as Libya's independence day and Gaddafi's death as Martyrs' day, some argue, both inside and outside of Libya, that if Gaddafi's coup had succeeded, he would have been worse than the Italians.
I'll get the popcorn ready if I get any angry replies from Gaddafi cocksuckers.
I dunno. Population Reduction sounds much more sinister than Holocaust, in a way.
Its very clear about what it is.
