For years, most of the other nations have believed Alfred went through a split-personality disorder during the Civil War. That is simply not true: the two sides were split from the beginning. And this is their story.Call Me Connie is an Hetalia: Axis Powers fanfic written by VenomousButterfly, set in an Alternate Universe of sorts where America had a twin female counterpart. It mainly follows a young girl who befriends a certain Alfred F. Jones...a girl who also claims to be America. In time, they are separated by distance and time until fate (and history) drove both North and South into a conflict that would decide the future of the Union. The story though covers a swath of American history from the 18th Century onwards, though much of it is set in the backdrop of the Civil War itself.The fic is still a work-in-progress and can be found here.

Foregone Conclusion: Those more-or-less familiar with how the Civil War played out in history have some clue as to how Emily's story ends.

Grey-and-Grey Morality: Neither Alfred nor Emily are painted as evil; both North and South are treated sympathetically, even in light of the controversies, issues, and shortcomings on both sides. That said, Alfred tends to see himself as A Lighter Shade of Gray.

Fish out of Temporal Water
 Call Me Connie (Fanfic) / int_4acee1ed
comment
Fish out of Temporal Water: Emily goes through this every time she "wakes up," often having to find new clothes and go through recent papers before (trying) to blend in to the new era. She does express surprise, however, upon finding out that America's no longer British, said Brits and Canadians torched the nation's capital in 1812 and that America intends to crush the Southern "secessionists."

 Call Me Connie (Fanfic) / int_53833817
comment
Rip Van Winkle: Early on, Emily fell into uncontrollable bouts of cold slumber lasting several decades at a time, waking up physically older if still young with each successive one. As a result of this, she slept through The American Revolution, the War of 1812 and other events until the immediate times before the Civil War. This also plays into the strained relationship between her and Alfred.

Jumped at the Call: While Emily was quick to take up her nation-ness as "Carolina Jones" and was already in a sense an embodiment of the South, she was particularly quick and certain taking up the mantle of being the Confederacy.

The Masquerade: There are hints of this, similarly to Hetalia. This here, though, is in part because in Emily's eyes, telling most regular people she's a nation would sound plain crazy.

Obfuscating Stupidity
 Call Me Connie (Fanfic) / int_a7aef9ff
comment
Obfuscating Stupidity: While Alfred is a bit of a Bunny-Ears Lawyer and Keet, he does play the part of a naive 19-year-old gentleman convincingly. There are times however especially during a dinner staged to make him meet Emily when that particular mask slides to reveal someone who's not to be trifled with.

Deliberate Values Dissonance: This is the Antebellum-era South, so there's a considerable amount of this. Especially evident with the whole slavery thing, but also shown more subtly with social norms in relation to women.

Left for Dead: It's revealed that part of the reason behind Alfred's uncharacteristically cold reaction to Emily's initial letters during the Civil War era is because he thinks she died a long time ago.

comment
America Saves the Day: Even as a young colony of England, he tries living up to being a "knight" and hero. Subverted, though, later on when "saving the day" eventually translates to "winning the Civil War", not to mention Alfred considering an independent South a threat to the Union's survival.

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Alfred's cold and seemingly out-of-character spite is stemmed from his conviction "Carolina Jones" died long ago, with Emily, aka the CSA being an impostor.

Writer on Board: The annotations at the end of each chapter include snippets from the author's views on approaching the sensitive issue that is the Civil War, whether it's slavery (along with her insistence of not supporting it), the "written by the victors" nature of the war, or the conflict's continuing legacy in modern America.
