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?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"No historian has thought through such 'what if' questions as seriously as Roger Ransom,\" says the \u003cem\u003eWashington Post Book World\u003c\/em\u003e. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 370\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 8.2 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 17, 2006\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45339644526694,"sku":"9780393329117","price":35.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/TWlkRng5V0I1aklyY2lHQXkrWGtiQT09.webp?v=1774709384","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/confederate-states-of-america-what-might-have-been-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
