In Dixie Land I'll take my stand

Creator: Bear
This TL is mostly focused on the aftermarth of the American Civil War and will explore the possibility that the South turns into an ATL Vietnam, because of certain actions of the Union that will make the division between the North and the South permanent divide the US forever, such as the introduction of the Wade–Davis Bill Wade-Davis Bill and many other measures passed after the Radical Republicans took control of the Republican party and the government.

Points of Divergence

 * After a long political brawl with Abraham Lincoln, the Radical Republicans force the election of their own representative, Thaddeus Stevens as the Vice President of the US.


 * Lieutenant General Nathan Bedford Forrest is elected as the Grand Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan as they trust upon him to lead the Great movement to liberate the Dixieland.


 * Millions of Dixies, Copperheads, pro-Slavery Yankees and Native Americans slave owners join the Ku Klux Klan and combine their efforts to assist the Southern cause.


 * The rise of the KKK as a liberational force that conducts guerilla war and terror campaign in the North, forcing the Union to withdraw from the South by making the costs of this war in lives and resources unbearable.


 * After the Union troops withdraw from the South, the Union government doesn't recognize the Confederate States of America nor its Ku Klux Klan government, but the rest of the world does.


 * The Ku Klux Klan white supremacist rhetoric leads the Confederate States of America to confront the British Empire in the 1880s, in order to assist the Boer Republics to retain their independence.


 * And many other possibilities.
