Talk:Second American Civil War

Question: What is your POD (Point of Divergence) from our timeline? It seems a huge stretch that Iraq, in 2005, suddenly agrees to be the 51st state. What causes this? It doesn't seem very plausible. Also, once it goes into the future, it becomes a Future History, and arguably, not an alternate history, which usually look back from the present to some point in the past where some event has changed.
