...or at least I have never heard of them:
Historical fiction dealing with the international political maneuvering during the American Civil War. For years that war hung in the balance; England waivered on coming in on the side of the Confederacy; and a struggle rages between British industrialists who's factories were closed down because of lack of cotton and British moralists who didn't want Britain to fight for slavery.
Historical fiction dealing with the Barbary Wars--what potential. Americans kidnapped off ships and sold into slavery. While the Brits, French and Papal states kowtow to the pirates, the plucky newborn republic of the U.S.A. sends its tiny fleet to do battle with them. Disaster strikes when the U.S.S. Philadephia -- the largest warship in the Mediterrean -- runs aground under the guns of the pirate's fortress, and its crew taking captive and tortured. Then the pirates set out to repair and refloat the Philadelphia.
