This book was released on 2006-10-17 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Provocative and compelling…[a] wild ride through Civil War history."—Library Journal What if Lee had avoided defeat at Gettysburg? What if a military stalemate had developed, coupled with growing antiwar sentiment? What if Lincoln had been defeated in the 1864 election and Great Britain had recognized the Confederacy? What would have been the careers of an independent Confederate States of America and a defeated United States? "No historian has thought through such 'what if' questions as seriously as Roger Ransom," says the Washington Post Book World. A master of historical analysis, Roger L. Ransom follows the consequences of the "what if" scenario over an extended period of time, exploring such issues as the fate of slavery in a CSA, how the economies of the USA and the CSA would have developed, and how their foreign policies would have differed. The result is a fascinating historical vision that is a source of insight into the critical events of the Civil War period as they actually happened.

Book Synopsis The CSA Trilogy by : Howard Ray White
Download or read book The CSA Trilogy written by Howard Ray White and published by . This book was released on 2018-11-22 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This alternate history/historical fiction novel, is presented as a trilogy: 150 years of the Confederate States of America, from its formation in early 1861, to the 2011 celebration of the sesquicentennial of what has become the Greatest Country on Earth. A trilogy, because it climaxes three times. Part 1 -- This alternate history of years 1861 and 1862 differs remarkably from truthful history. Herein you learn how Confederates won recognition of their independence, accepted the North's African Americans, and negotiated a boundary separating the two countries. Within the Confederacy were Indian Territory (what became Oklahoma), and land west of Texas, out to Southern California. The story then proceeds to Part 2.Part 2 -- Our alternate history next explains how many more new States are subsequently added: Cuba, six States from the northern region of Mexico, Russian America (known to us as Alaska) and the Hawaiian Islands. All slaves are soon emancipated, embarking on happy, successful lives for them and future generations. These rapid events, remarkably consistent with truthful history of those regions and times, tantalize the reader concerning what might have been. Part 3 -Confederates create a vibrant modern economy, accelerated by the immigration of men and families of remarkable talent, thereby facilitating a rapid industrial expansion -- accomplished without losing the cherished principle of State Sovereignty. When Japan attacks the State of Hawaii, Confederates are again drawn into war. They succeed in winning that one, too, and Asia is far different as a result. The story concludes with the heart-warming celebration of the Confederate Sesquicentennial at the University of the South in Sewanee, Tennessee. Upon reviewing the manuscript, Dr. Clyde N. Wilson of South Carolina wrote: "The only word I can find for Howard Ray White's Trilogy is "amazing." There is not and never has been anything like it. What if the good and honorable leaders of the Confederate States of America had actually won their gallant bid for independence? What would the world be like today? White tells the story with vast imaginative power. This is a work for all lovers of the good things intrinsic to the South, and, as well all those today who are not happy with the way things have turned out."After reading the manuscript, Dr. Fred Moss of Alabama wrote: "In this fun and informative read, Howard Ray White turns his considerable writing skill to a unique combination of fiction and historical non-fiction composition. The fictional story of twelve impressive young people of diverse backgrounds coming together for a special four-week-long seminar provides the framework that carries the story-line. Excellent clarifying footnotes help, less fiction be confused with non-fiction. There are three stories of the twelve on weekend adventures with physical dangers, rescues, and a budding romance. Something for everyone! I highly recommend this most impressive, informative, and enjoyable work, which offers a new model for alternate histories of the American Civil War and what followed afterward." After reviewing the manuscript, Bertil Haggman, LLM, of Sweden wrote: "It is hard to stop reading the fascinating The CSA Trilogy, especially what happened internationally after the Confederate States successfully defended secession. Well researched, it will most likely be a bestseller."In closing, the author, Howard Ray White, wishes to ensure everyone that this is a happy story of a diverse population, living in a vast country, that is exceptionally congenial and proud of what they have, together, accomplished over the 150 years of their country's history. This is true for those descended from Europeans, from Africans, from Native Americans, from Asians and from mixtures, as well. Together, all have built the country and enjoyed the benefits that have resulted from their efforts and those of their ancestors..

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1890 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XXXIV. THE CONFEDERATE NAVY ON THE HIGH SEAS. To maintain the position assumed by the Confederate States, as a separate power among the nations, it was obviously necessary to have a navy, not only for the defence of their coast, but for the protection of their commerce. These States, after their secession from the Union, were, in that regard, in a destitute condition, similar to that of the United States after their Declaration of Independence. It has been shown that, among the first acts of the Confederate Administration was the effort to buy ships which could be used for naval purposes. The policy of the United States Government being to shut up our commerce, rather than protect their own, induced the wholesale purchase of vessels found in the Northern ports--not only such as could be made fit for cruisers, but also any which would serve even for blockading purposes. There was little shipping of any kind in the Southern ports, and to that scanty supply we were, for the time, restricted. A previous reference has been made to the Sumter, Commander Raphael Semmes, but a more extended notice is considered due. Educated in the naval service of the United States, Raphael Semmes had attained the rank of commander, and was distinguished for his studious habits and varied acquirements. When Alabama passed her ordinance of secession he was on duty at Washington as a member of the Lighthouse Board. He promptly tendered his resignation, and, at the organization of the Confederate Government, repaired to Montgomery and tendered his services to it. The efforts which had been made to obtain steamers suited to cruising against the enemy's commerce had been quite unsuccessful, none being found which the naval officers charged with their...

Book Synopsis Confederate Reckoning by : Stephanie McCurry
Download or read book Confederate Reckoning written by Stephanie McCurry and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-07 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize Finalist Winner of the Frederick Douglass Prize Winner of the Merle Curti Prize “Perhaps the highest praise one can offer McCurry’s work is to say that once we look through her eyes, it will become almost impossible to believe that we ever saw or thought otherwise.”—Drew Gilpin Faust, The New Republic The story of the Confederate States of America, the proslavery, antidemocratic nation created by white Southern slaveholders to protect their property, has been told many times in heroic and martial narratives. Now, however, Stephanie McCurry tells a very different tale of the Confederate experience. When the grandiosity of Southerners’ national ambitions met the harsh realities of wartime crises, unintended consequences ensued. Although Southern statesmen and generals had built the most powerful slave regime in the Western world, they had excluded the majority of their own people—white women and slaves—and thereby sowed the seeds of their demise. Wartime scarcity of food, labor, and soldiers tested the Confederate vision at every point and created domestic crises to match those found on the battlefields. Women and slaves became critical political actors as they contested government enlistment and tax and welfare policies, and struggled for their freedom. The attempt to repress a majority of its own population backfired on the Confederate States of America as the disenfranchised demanded to be counted and considered in the great struggle over slavery, emancipation, democracy, and nationhood. That Confederate struggle played out in a highly charged international arena. The political project of the Confederacy was tried by its own people and failed. The government was forced to become accountable to women and slaves, provoking an astounding transformation of the slaveholders’ state. Confederate Reckoning is the startling story of this epic political battle in which women and slaves helped to decide the fate of the Confederacy and the outcome of the Civil War.
