GWII-era Freedomite Confederate propaganda for the Lee Navy Volunteers, circa 1942
(OCC: Believe it or not, this was a real WWII era propaganda poster.)
Wow. that's a little surprising. i thought that it was a good photoshop job

Images from the 2012 Finnish-made comic science fiction action movie Cotton Sky directed by Timo Vuorensola. The film begins with a group of USA astronauts landing on the Moon in 2018 (as part of a presidential campaign publicity stunt) only to discover that the Moon is home to a colony of Freedomite Confederates who escaped into space at the end of the Second Great War. After decades of waiting and preparing, the Freedomites are ready to return to Earth in their fleet of flying saucers and exact their revenge upon the “impure” world…
(If it looks blocky that's because I had to play around with the size in order to upload it. The original 828 x 3038 image looked better.)

Children in Charleston, South Carolina make a money pyramid out of near-worthless Confederate dollar banknotes in 1922. The post-First Great War hyperinflation wracked a terrible toll on the defeated Confederate States, both in terms of economic turmoil and in terms of national humiliation, which Jake Featherston and the Freedom Party would feed off of in order to launch its rise to power. The hyperinflation would at last be brought under control during the administration of Confederate President Charles Burton Mitchell III, who reached a deal to ease reparation payments with U.S. President Upton Sinclair, thereby leading to a brief period of prosperity for the Confederacy that would temporarily hold off the Freedom Party's rise.
In 1976, Cuba Senator and Socialist U.S. presidential candidate Fidel Castro takes a detour from a campaign stop in Chicago in order to travel to Springfield, Illinois, where he lays a wreath in tribute at the tomb of former president Abraham Lincoln. In a speech in Springfield soon afterwards, he explained his action as a gesture of respect and admiration for "the father of American Socialism" and an "unsung hero of the cause of justice."
Castro's action heralded a shift in historical interpretations of Abraham Lincoln, long considered a failure of a president relegated to the footnotes of American history, to one of appreciation for his efforts to prevent the formation of the Confederate States (and thereby preventing the road that, in retrospect, led to the horrors of Featherston and the Freedom Party), and his commitment in his later life to advancing the cause of economic and social justice for working men and women across America, whether white or black. Castro's platform would invoke this spirit, calling on all Americans coast to coast to unite and press forward to fulfill "Lincoln's as yet unfinished mission of racial equality, social justice, and liberty for all."

Good job on the one with Lincoln. i can actually see him being turned into something good after a while, especially if alternate history books become popular.
"I'm Jake Featherston, and I'm here to tell you the truth..."
A photo of Reverend Jerome Brown. Brown, a native of Tennessee, was a popular Radio Personality in the Confederate States during the Depression. After Featherston's rise to power, he became a fervent supporter of the Freedom Party. His daughter Rachel became leader of the Yellow Magnolia Movement before being murdered by Freedom Party guards in 1943. At the Philadelphia Trials, Brown was convicted of "inciting inter-racial violence" and executed.
Governor of the Sandwich Islands Mitt Romney in 2012. Romney led a peaceful movement to give Mormons civil rights and admit the Sandwich Islands as a state. He convinced the US government that Mormon terrorism had ended and Mormons deserved their civil rights again. In 2010, President John Kerry agreed to full citizenship and the admission of the Sandwich Islands as a state. Romney became the first Governor of the Sandwich Islands and has considered running for President as a Democrat.

Neo-Confederate terrorist George Wallace at his trial in 1972. Wallace joined the Sons of Freedom after fighting in the Second Great War, quickly rising to a leading position of the terrorist organization. In 1967, Wallace became head of the organization. The Sons of Freedom were being hunted by the US government at this time and were constantly on the run. However, by 1972, US forces had slowed their search. Wallace capitalized, directing an assassination attempt on President Richard Nixon in Miami. The plan worked, but the killer, Robert Byrd, was captured and revealed Wallace's location. Wallace was captured by US forces, tried and executed.
I always enjoy reading this thread so here's an addition of my own:
A photo taken of Indian Emperor Osman I during his first state visit to Berlin in 1947 as the first official state visit by the ruler of the Indian Empire. After the Second Great War Kaiser Friedrich IV was eager to avenge the famous insult by British King-Emperor Edward VIII that 'Europe only needs one Emperor' and so as part of the armistice terms Edward was stripped of the title Emperor of India. The Indian provisional government, eager to gain German aid adopted the Kaiser's suggestion of a 'Holy Indian Empire' where the Indian Princely States (after independence limited to the 21 major ones) convened to elect a head of state from amongst themselves who would serve as Emperor of India for a five year term, as the leader of the most expansive and powerful state Hyderabad's Nizam Osman Ali Khan was the first native Emperor of India in 86 years

Philippe Daudet, Action Française politician with Jake Featherston. Photography taken in 1932 during the celebration of Franco-British recognition of CSA.
Philippe Daudet publically acclaimed Featherston's candidacy, while the latter trying to not giving to much publicity to this support from fear to appear as a "Foreign-owned candidate".
(OOC : Not sure if it's fitting the TL-191, but at least I tried. "Philippe Daudet" is OTL Fernandel, a french actor that share a relativly far likeness to Daudet family, whom Léon was an important far-right politician of the III Republic. Philippe Daudet died OTL at 14)
I can't find something that fits, but could we get some kind of German Parade or Celebration in honor of 100 years of the Hohenzollern dynasty?
I'm a bit a loss there. Hohenzollern dynasty roots came as far than 1016.
Did you meant 100 years of the Versailles Proclamation of Hohenzollern as emperors, then 1971? Does TL-191 books or fan-made info have information about post-war Germany?
White Rose Movement, ey ?
But of course.
A portrait of Jefferson D. Pinkard, one of the architects of the infamous 'population reduction' program undertaken by Featherston's regime.
Rachel Brown, circa 1940. Brown went on to lead the Yellow Magnolia Movement, a group of anti-Freedomite students based out of the University of Tennessee's Knoxville Campus. Brown and the rest of the Yellow Magnolias were murdered in 1943 by Freedom Party Guards.

Here's a very depressing and nauseating thought: With the greater reliance on chemical weapons and especially gas in this timeline as opposed to the OTL isn't it likely that not only would Unit 731 still exist but it might even be bigger, or that other countries would have similar such operations going on?
What would the fate or future of TL-191's Unit 731 be like?

To be honest with you, I think it's a rather interesting post.

Very nice post, kingbaldrick. TBH, I'd suspect that the Yellow Magnolias would be rightfully lauded and praised for their bravery for many years to come. Films could be made about them, or comics, or even novels!
