The Pullman strike ended with widespread violence and the President at the time (Grover Cleveland) sent out the army to stop the strikes from obstructing the trains from running. The Pullman Strike was a boycott which shut down much of the passenger and freight trains west of Detroit because of reduction wages. Many of these workers were laid off and had their wages lowered, but did not have their rent lowered which was essentially unfair, as they all lived in towns for train workers.

Some American conservatives appear to revel in discussing what the world might be like if the United States didn’t exist—a sentiment today indulged by Dinesh D’Souza’s new film “America.” Nevertheless, while Americans are justifiably proud of their past, and of their contributions to the world, independence for England’s North American colonies was bound to happen sooner or later.

If the American Civil War had ended other than it did—or if the federal government and the northern states decided to pursue a negotiated separation from the south—residents of the Confederate States of America (CSA) might still be celebrating their Independence Day over one hundred and fifty years later, perhaps on December 24 (the day in 1860 when South Carolina declared its independence) or on February 9 (when, in 1861, the thirteen southern states formed the CSA). It is, of course, impossible to know what the USA, the CSA, and the world would look like after this alternate history—there are too many variables over too much time. But it is an interesting thought experiment nonetheless.
