CSA Confederate States of America: Southern Cross annuit coeptis, Volume 1

Dorvall

Sekwana Comics, 2013 - Confederate States of America - 64 pages

What if Robert E. Lee had won at Gettysburg? What if the Confederacy had won the Civil War? What if slavery hadn't been inevitable in the South? Every event has its place in history. If even the smallest detail is altered, America as we know it will unravel to reveal a strange and foreign alternate reality. Through this story, CSA Confederate States of America makes use of the idea of an alternate reality. This is not a classic uchronia in which the founding event is not exploited and merely serves as a pretext to a parallel history, but an authentic alternate reality based on a study of the historical context and the realities of the time.
