Programs of an alternate universe is brought to your television in Kevin Willmott's CSA: The Confederate States of America. What is most shocking about this film is that the suspension of belief takes very little effort. Taking form as a British documentary of the CSA, history is unraveled from the victory of Robert E. Lee against Northern Aggression to the suicide of an Aryan presidential candidate who claimed that his great grandfather did "not have sexual relations" with a slave.

The most intriguing aspect of this film is the real possibility of a Confederate victory during the Civil War. The fictional documentary explains that British and French were persuaded to support the Grey Army in the name of liberation against a union that has imposed a blockade around a region that is bountiful in cotton exports. Because of this, Robert E. Lee was able to force a peace onto Grant as President Lincoln fled the capitol. With a leaderless Union and a defeated Blue Army, President Davis of the CSA annexed the United States and banished dishonest Abe to Canada. In order to repair the economy of the northern states, Davis reintroduces slavery to those regions to fill in as industrial and construction labor. In conjunction with this, the CSA wages war against Spain that unites the North and South once again as a single nation. With a swift victory, the CSA continues to engulf the whole of Latin America as a Tropical Empire. An idea conceived in reality by the South for South America's cotton and sugar plantations.

When Adolf Hitler rose to power in Germany, the United States and the Third Reich maintained a healthy friendship. At CS request, Germany did not deport Jews to death camps, but declared them slaves like CSA slaves. Then war broke out.
