  1. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    Yeah, it's the best option. Make two folders, one for the first part's tropes and another for the second. When it becomes too unwieldy, we can then split it in two pages.
  2. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    Given how the Daughters of the Confederacy are unlikely to be formed, now I have a question: would this butterfly away Mount Rushmore? Because I might be wrong, but I think that the DotC hired someone to create something similar but with Jefferson Davis, Lee and many Confederate soldiers (a...
  3. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    I join the others in congratulating you for the (high) quality of this chapter. It is very much welcome, and a good sight into what the black population was going through during and after the war. There's only one thing I'd like to suggest, because there's a part that is ambiguous enough as to...
  4. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    "The guys you liked were horrible people, but the ones that replaced them were worse! You're welcome." -- The North to the South (You may make all the Holy Grail jokes you want)
  5. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    I've seen weirder things. Such as an actual book where John Brown's rebellion succeeds - and manages to stage a slave rebellion that takes over the South, which successfully secedes after fighting against the Union... which is somehow still led by Abraham Lincoln. And then they create a...
  6. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    There is an Elseworlds story where Clark Kent is a Union soldier (Superman: A Nation Divided). Also, remember one thing: no Lost Cause of the South to make these assholes look good!
  7. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Except for the ones that are in the story, that is. In my opinion, 1 racist is too many.
  8. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Given how Lee became quite notorious for a certain instance of him not freeing his slaves against his honor, I find that risible. Context: Lee's father-in-law willed him several slaves on the condition they would be freed within five years. Lee went to the judge and demanded that clause of the...
  9. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Why would white supremacy reassert its hold over America?
  10. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Here is it. It's kinda bare right now, but with reader support we'll be able to fill it.
  11. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    My pleasure! I discovered this story through TV Tropes, so it was a given that I could help in there. I'll update the thing with Stuart. The problem with YMMV tropes is that, as indicated, it's about things Your Mileage May Vary on. Some tropes that could apply: - Anticlimax Boss: The last...
  12. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Amazing ending to these five years of work, and looking forward to the Reconstruction Era in these new United States. Aside: I found the fate of Jeb Stuart quite ironic - executed in the same place he executed John Brown? Someone really wanted to drive it home.
  13. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    We could have both. Mitchell writes Gone with the Wind, which gets sold somewhat well - but gets completely overshadowed by the idea I suggested.
  14. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    One wonders. What would media like Gone With The Wind or C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America look like in this universe? Gone With The Wind was born out of a romantic viewpoint of the South, something that things like the Famine or the Jacquery would certainly do a lot to ruin. I figure...
  15. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    This is the moment that encapsulates the entire story. A free black man that has proven he's as good or better than the common white man of the South finally meeting one of his loved ones that was lost to the barbary of the slaveholders.
  16. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Ever come to Spain, go to Galicia and try your luck with the local Padrón peppers - spiciness is a bit random. We even have a refrain about them: "Pimientos de Padrón, unos pican, otros non".
  17. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    I think that the best option for this would be to have the post-war United States become more successful as a republic. This could boost the popularity of the Federal Democratic Republican Party. In real life, the 1869 general election was won by Juan Prim's Progressive-Liberal Coalition...
  18. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    The only one that has been mentioned in story is Joseph Holt, Lincoln's running mate.
  19. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Why would they? Never worked for it in life, they certainly won't do shit before dying.
  20. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Congratulations, Red! While I am a physicist/electronic engineer by study (and programmer by career), I know that law is a really tough career to work with. The fact that you were able to finish the career and join the bar while writing high quality stories such as this one says a lot about your...
