In Fiction
Harry Turtledove's alternate history novel How Few Remain features victory by the Confederate States of America. In this version, they control the Indian Territory, which is admitted to the Confederacy as the Confederate State of Sequoyah. The state is populated almost completely by various tribes, with a small population of whites and some black laborers. The state is generally pro-Confederate, and has a particularly hostile attitude towards the United States. In the Great War series of sequels, Sequoyah is conquered by the United States during the First World War. It quickly fills with US settlers. The population changes so much that a referendum on rejoining the Confederacy fails shortly before the Second World War breaks out.

Famous quotes containing the word fiction:
“Americans will listen, but they do not care to read. War and Peace must wait for the leisure of retirement, which never really comes: meanwhile it helps to furnish the living room. Blockbusting fiction is bought as furniture. Unread, it maintains its value. Read, it looks like money wasted. Cunningly, Americans know that books contain a person, and they want the person, not the book.”
—Anthony Burgess (b. 1917)
“... fiction never exceeds the reach of the writer’s courage.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
