What's this?

Thanks for the rec, will add it to my must read list


The American Civil War is an extremely complicated topic, one that is so far from the simplistic North anti slave vs South pro slave. Most of America was pretty racist at the time. Conjuring up Harry Turtledove one has to wonder how things would have played out had slavery been left to wither on the vine due to mechanization making it a poor economic choice versus Lincoln pushing the issue to the top of the Northern agenda.
