Manifest Destiny: Lincoln Sneezed

Manifest Destiny is an alternative history series based on the presumption that Abraham Lincoln survived the assassination attempt by John Wilkes Booth. From the moment he survived, the time-line of United States history dramatically changed. The harsh reconstruction of the former Confederate states by Radical Republicans was altered. A newly reunited, and highly militarized country stepped aggressively onto the world stage. Significant obstacles remained. Among them was what to do with the former slaves, the failure by Great Britain to address the Alabama Claims, and an energetic push west.
