    Actually, I thought about that. If the CSA turned into the Western Hemisphere's South Africa, then the story might end the same way as SA's: under world pressure, Southern whites voluntarily yeild power to the black majority, who elect as their first president heroic, formerly-imprisoned dissident-hero Martin Luther King. That's a way better ending for black Americans than the current situation -- though it means those of us up North would have to live through the Great Cracker Migration of 1989.


    How lovely. So the Southern blacks would only have had to live through 130 additional years of slavery and apartheid. Boy, that's something to wish for.

      Um, Southern blacks did live through another 100 years of (effective) slavery and (actual) apartheid after the Civil War.

          Now, like many people I too would travel back in time to a country in the Mediterrainian. However, I would only travel a few years back and convince a young, aspiring website designer that Civilization isn't really that good of game to begin with. Then show him the horrors of the future Civ, by letting him play CivIII.
          Play civ3 in a Win95 486? Muhaha!

          Anyway, if MarkG could have played civ3 in 1996, then he would be astonished. Game design has advanced alot since.
