the South won?

PotomacBob ๐Ÿšซ

Are there stories alternate history stories on SOL in which the South won the Civil War?
If so, can house share titles and authors names. If there are none, are there any works in progress along those lines?

https://storiesonline.net/s/12561/going-down-by-gary-jordan by Gary Jordan. It is set long after that war.

The way I remember it, the https://storiesonline.net/universe/437/arc-deco stories by Stultus have a similar premise. I may be wrong on that one.

The way I remember it, the https://storiesonline.net/universe/437/arc-deco stories by Stultus have a similar premise.

The Arc-Deco universe has four countries where the US exists today. USA, Confederacy, Great Western Aliance (southern tier of states from Texas to California) and Deseret.

In addition, Pacifica and Virginia are part of the UK.

The South was fighting for independence in that Civil War, that constellation would be a legitimate outcome. Not sure Deseret would be as in those stories though.

I never read Southern Delights (incomplete and inactive) by SassyGal84, but it has the following description:

Ben Johnson finds himself in an alternate world where the South won the American Civil War. As luck would have it, he finds Gabrielle Union on his new plantation!

alternate history stories

Not SOL, dead tree - 'Guns of the South' by Harry Turtledove

Note that a South 'win' during the 'War of Northern Aggression' would be their existence as a separate and independent nation from the United States of America, not what counted as a 'win' by the North, which was conquering the rebellious territories. The South had no desire to conquer the North.

Basically and effectively like what happened during the American War for Independence against Great Britain.

He also wrote a later series whose name I'm forgetting about the north and south making a peace and existing as 2 separate nations, and then follows that through to WWI and WWII. (not part of guns of the south)

It is the Southern Victory series of books. There's a wiki page for the list of books in the series

Not on SOL but I have a Dead Tree by MacKinley Kantor titled 'If the south had won the Civil War.' Kantor wrote the Pulitzer Prize winning 'Andersonville.' It originally appeared in a serial format in Look magazine during the bicentennial of the Civil War.

Dead tree only, but "Friday" by Heinlein has the US fragmented into multiple independent governments.

Dead tree, one out of Harry Turtledove's Crosstime Traffic series: "The Disunited States of America".
