In the series, there was a Second Civil War in the 1880's, during WWI the CSA supported the Allies while the USA backed the Kaiser, and both sides got into it again during WWII.

It starts with How Few Remain which is a second war in the 1880's over the Confederacy buying itself a Pacific coastline from Mexico.

It then continues with The Great War Series, which is really good. This was the best of the entire series.

Then America Empire Series and Settling Accounts Series kind of gets to be just being a retelling of our real history with the Confederacy replacing Nazi Germany letter for letter and the US pretty much just replacing the Soviet Union.

Featherston = Hitler
Kentucky = Rheinland
Operation Blackbeard = Operation Barbarossa
Pittsburgh = Stalingrad

I think he started mailing-it-in with American Empire and went full-tilt IDGAF on Settling Accounts.

I enjoyed his Days of Infamy two book series about Japan invading Oahu as part of attacking Pearl Harbor.

His most famous book by far is Guns of the South, a standalone involving time travel and Robert E. Lee getting a ****-ton of AK-47s from the future. Its actually a pretty good book.
