Anyone have any material for alternate histories pertaining to the Civil War? Need some theories on what the world would be like today if the Confederacy had won. Already have some stuff, but it turns out the local libraries don't carry that material, and a lot of the sites I've looked into are just "If Lee had done this, then he would have won."
So anyone have any useful links?

There is a book called "Guns Of The South" by Harry Turtledove, it goes into a bit of sci-fi though; Time Travel. He also has several books that deal with the aftermath of the Civil War through the late 1930s.

Mark,
I googled "what if the confederacy had won" and came up with tons of hits, including several books. Here's a link to Amazon showing several books on the subject: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/search-handle-form/002-7800861-0050467 - T - _____________________

Now that you have me all titilated I would love to read it
 ....though you probably don't want to post it here. Good luck. *crosses fingers in hopes that Mark is awarded an A*_____________________
One of the most fashionable notions of our times is that social problems like poverty and oppression breed wars. Most wars, however, are started by well-fed people with time on their hands to dream up half-baked ideologies or grandiose ambitions, and to nurse real or imagined grievances.
