Just a touch here and a tweak there....
MacKinlay Kantor, Pulitzer Prize-winning author and master storyteller, shows us how the South could have won the Civil War, how two small shifts in history (as we know it) in the summer of 1863 could have turned the tide for the Confederacy. What would have happened: to the Union, to Abraham Lincoln, to the people of the North and South, to the world?
If the South Had Won the Civil War originally appeared in Look Magazine nearly half a century ago. It immediately inspired a deluge of letters and telegrams from astonished readers and became an American classic overnight. Published in book form soon after, Kantor's masterpiece has been unavailable for a decade. Now, this much-requested classic is once again available for a new generation of listeners.
It all begins on that fateful afternoon of Tuesday, May 12, 1863, when a deplorable equestrian accident claims the life of General Ulysses S. Grant....

But at the end got sloppy and ran with current US history as if the civil war was won by the north.

A tale that paved the way for alternate history...

Why is slavery no longer in vogue? The Industrial Revolution is one reason. Why employ slaves to do dangerous and hard labor when machines can do it much more efficiently and with much fewer lost lives?
The endgame of the book: the South moves it's Capitol to Washington DC, and the North moves its Capitol to Ohio! They coexist.
tantalizing conjecture

Where is the rest of it?

I considered purchasing the book, Andersonville, authored by this book writer. And while Andersonville won a Pulitzer, the only way I can see buying another book by MacKinlay Kantor would be if I hadn't slept for several days in a row and needed a non-pharmaceutical alternative for sleep.
