What if the South had won the Civil War? 4 sci-fi scenarios for HBO's 'Confederate' by Allen C. Guelzo

The Confederate government centralized political authority in ways that made a hash of states’ rights, nationalized industries in ways historians have compared to “state socialism,” and imposed the first compulsory national draft in American history. If Benioff and Weiss are successful in creating an alternative world in Confederate, it will shock us fully as much as Game of Thrones has — not for how much of the Confederate future we avoided, but how little.

I read a book on Lincoln by this author that was given to me at a Hillsdale conference. So to see his name here, I definitely give him credibility. Very interesting take on who actually won the Civil War.
