 Ahh, the Confederate States of America! Who wouldn't love to see the Stars and Bars flying from Richmond to San Diego and from St. Louis to Panama City? A society that combines the Antebellum Era with the Industrial Revolution. A world where men in butternut smash all before them, and where the color of your skin dictates the content of your future. Where a gold dollar is refered to as a "Stonewall." Where the national anthem is "Dixie," and don't you forget it!  Where the most famous Founding Fathers include Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee, Judah Benjamin, Alexander Stephens, Christopher Memminger, and (spiritually) John C. Calhoun.
-Like the Third Reich and the British Empire, the CSA also figures prominently in alternate history, and is considered to be one of the most overused scenarios anywhere in the genre. Also, discussions about CSA scenarios tend to get political very quickly, or to focus on the question which side was "right" in the American Civil War, and what started the American Civil War.
