| Bring the Jubilee | comment |
Bring the Jubilee is a 1953 novel by Ward Moore. Considered a classic of Alternate History, the novel depicts a timeline where the Confederacy won The American Civil War and became a world power, leaving the United States of America as a crumbling backwater. The book's protagonist and narrator, aspiring historian Hodgins McCormick Backmaker, is born into this timeline long after the war's end, and in the alternate 1950s becomes involved in a time-travel experiment. He embarks on a historical-research trip back to the Battle of Gettysburg, which accidentally results in far-sweeping changes. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Bring the Jubilee / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: The defeated United States is not a pleasant place to live, especially if you're not of European descent. The country does not have a transcontinental railroad, whereas the CSA has seven and even British America (Canada) has one. New York City has less than one million inhabitants in 1938, which is about seven times less than in real life 1938. Also, women can not vote, except in the state of Deseret. The triumphant Confederacy is a prosperous nation which welcomes immigrants, but grants citizenship only to descendants of those who were citizens at the time of the Civil War victory. People of color are, if anything, treated worse than they were in slavery. The German Union is described by Hiro Agati as having exterminated much of its Jewish population in massacres between 1905–1913. Haiti is described as being the only American republic south of the Mason-Dixon line to preserve its independence, though it is unclear as to whom the others lost their independence. | |

Fallen States of America | |
| Bring the Jubilee / int_2206fd8c | comment |
Fallen States of America: The rump United States is in very bad shape. The country is plagued by rampant racism, an anemic economy, a poor transportation network and political violence. The living conditions in the USA are so bad that its citizens often willingly enlist in the Confederate Legion, a military organization serving Confederate interests. Doing so is illegal, but the USA has no capability to enforce the law. | |

Allohistorical Allusion: The character Hiro Agati brings up Uganda-Eretz, a Jewish state granted dominion status by the British in 1933. Historically Britain had plans of setting up a Jewish homeland in Uganda, but they were never implemented. | |

Boom Town | |
| Bring the Jubilee / int_5336c902 | comment |
Boom Town: Haggershaven is an intellectual version where the Confederacy's best and brightest have fostered a bustling R&D hub. Thanks to Hudgins' inadvertent meddling, however, the town never comes to be. With the Haggerswells' patriarch dying in Gettysburg, the would-be founding family, and Barbara, are wiped from history. Instead, the site where the town would have been is nothing more than a patchwork rural homesteads in our timeline. | |

Pragmatic Villainy | |
| Bring the Jubilee / int_5ca80293 | comment |
Pragmatic Villainy: Despite expanding its influence and control much of the New World, the CSA still leaves the rump United States (relatively) alone. This is more out of plain pragmatism and having a convenient dumping ground for the dredges of Confederate society than any genuine mercy. | |

Killed Mid-Sentence | |
| Bring the Jubilee / int_a2022cc9 | comment |
Killed Mid-Sentence: Hodgins' narrative, ostensibly written in 1877, ends abruptly in mid-sentence. There's a post-script applied by the person who found it years later in 1953. It is unclear whether or not Hodgins died writing it, or if he even died in 1877, but it's the last thing the reader hears from him. | |

Injun Country: There are still unconquered Native Americans in existence in Montana and Idaho by the novel's timeframe; Hodgins mentions the Sioux and the Nez Perce. As the USA is such a terrible place for black people, some of them escape to live among the Native Americans instead. | |

Indentured Servitude | |
| Bring the Jubilee / int_f2b03c88 | comment |
Indentured Servitude: Indentured servitude has largely taken the place of slavery in both the CSA and even the USA. In practice, it's shown to being prone to abuse and exploitation, with Hodgins himself experiencing it at one point. For people of color, however, it's implied to be even worse than slavery. | |
