They couldn't even begin.Don't worry, the victorious Confederacy solves racism by the early 20th century.
The good blacks stood by their masters and fought off the bad blacks who wanted to be free and were accepted by white society with the exception of a few extremists who were definitely marginalized."We've finally abolished telling whites to feel guilty"
Cinco de Mayo by KingSweden24 on the Other Place is pretty close to what you are imagining here.If the South was successful in its treason, it would slide into pariah status and economic collapse in short order.
The Union would evolve into basically normal western industrial democracy by the turn of the century before crushing the backwards confederacy in a WW1 analogue.
Stuff on wikis is usually long hanging fruit, but this feels like a Poe's Law "parody or legit" situation concerning pop culture AH. Even with a running time of nearly 3 hours, each of the many, many characters listed would get about a second of screentime.
Death of Russia always seemed like it was written with current politics in mind, by some really hawkish type who believes Russia must be balkanised. Like a lot of the terminology is very blatantly anachronistic (ie Dudayev using "rashist"). Also a lot of the figures used are just blatantly misplaced.So this and the other work by the same author that has a big following on the other place are published on Amazon, who told me this for some reason. When I followed the link out of morbid curiosity there was this

But besides that I also just feel like it misunderstand the 1993 crisis.
You see that a lot, including many online leftists who treat it as a simple self-coup, and mourn the failure of the "popularly elected Duma" to stop the tyrannical Yeltsin while the West cheered. In reality it was an utter mess where both sides bent the rules until they broke, and while Western governments were glad to see that Yeltsin hadn't got shot, it also cast a pall over his leadership for most of them. Like... well, all of 90s era post-Soviet Russia, it's a complicated muddle that denies you simple lessons and people to cheer on.
Obviously The Death Of Russia is dumb (it's from the guy who did the 'Mussolini is a gigachad' apologia TL) but comparing Yeltsin to red-brown fascists in terms of awfulness is... a take.True though the writer of this particular one seems to think of it as a conflict between a liberal democrat (Yeltsin) and red-brown fascists (the NSF) - when in reality it was a struggle between two sides of the same post-Soviet elite who each wished to create their own image of Russia.

A lot of really bad history surrounding eastern Europe has popped up in recent times, especially with some online pundits *cough*Kraut *cough* pushing the whole "Russian imperialism is because it is asian and mongol" which I don't know how something that blatantly racist gets past the censors.Obviously The Death Of Russia is dumb (it's from the guy who did the 'Mussolini is a gigachad' apologia TL) but comparing Yeltsin to red-brown fascists in terms of awfulness is... a take.
Yeltsin was a normal, corrupt sack of shit. Hardly an endangered species in the ex-Eastern Block at the time. All the NSF assclowns are believers in one of the an ideology concocted from the two worst political schools of thought in human history.
For comparison Agent Lavender had a substantial amount of feedback on the other place, quite a few things altered or small fixes and typos during discussion. I'm sure a huge amount of work went into preparing it for publication, but at least some things were picked up by readers, who authors engaged with.
I don't have a strong opinion about that, but I am upset we lost "How about 'New Labour'?" "...no, Tony"Which completely ruined it!
It had the best ending before due to feedback @Meadow and @Lord Roem were forced to change it!
Bring back Agent Primrose!
I admire Harrison's ruddy countenance. I like his bloody cheek!Stars and Stripes Forever and the resulting series. So terrible people try to claim it's parody.

Harrison's trilogy was an entire series of "What if England was entirely a nation of Blackadder family members, also Wales, Scotland, and parts of Ireland are Baldrick" and America was an entire nation of Calvinist Duke Nukems.
I can't help but love the damn thing in spite of how ridiculous it is.
Free to pursue imperial ambitions without perfidious Albion hogging the wealth.It least the cunning plan works for Ireland in this trilogy.
Blackadder Season One, you mean. Utterly incompetent.Harrison's trilogy was an entire series of "What if England was entirely a nation of Blackadder family members, also Wales, Scotland, and parts of Ireland are Baldrick" and America was an entire nation of Calvinist Duke Nukems.
