BORING CLICHE DEPARTMENT: What Would Have Happened If The South Won The Civil War?
Submitted by Republibot 3.0 on Mon, 06/14/2010 - 00:00Since I ran my "Logic goes out the window" piece on Alternate Histories two weeks ago, I've recieved a lot of emails asking me the following question: "Well, if you're so smart, then logically, what could have come from the South winning the civil war?"
