I realize this may come close to a necro, but I have something quite important to ask:
What might be the status of drugs in Albion ITTL? I imagine traditional Southern agricultural interests have taken a bigger hit from the earlier banning of slavery, and so, mainly thanks to this Big Tobacco might not have remained as influential as it was IOTL, I would guess. Maybe it could have helped make it harder for drugs such as marijuana to be banned on a national level? And does something like Prohibition ever come about for alcohol, or any other drug? It would be interesting to see if you ever consider it.
And another thing I've wondered about, too, is how the auto industry develops. Is there a Henry Ford analogue, or is the industry perhaps more like that of OTL's Britain, where several major companies did dominate but there was more of an even distribution of market share, as compared to OTL's America, in which only three carmakers received about 90% of sales overall by the 1960s?
