BOOKS BY CAROLE E. SCOTT ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ An Alternate History of North America: The Economic, Political, Social, and Technological History of the North American Confederation Scott’s An Alternate History of North America is a counter factual history supposedly written after 2100 by a very advanced artificially intelligent android who looks like Albert Einstein. This novel is about what might have happened if the American Revolution had been unsuccessful. One of the major differences between actual history and this history is that there was no 1861-1865 Civil War because in 1833 Britain emancipated the slaves in its Empire. In addition to presenting an insightful alternative economic, social, political, and technological reality, the future is forecast to 2100. Those who have enjoyed the alternate-history works of award-winning author Harry Turtledove should enjoy this book. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Invisible Hand In American History You cannot really understand a nation today without a knowledge of its past. The role of economics in shaping its past is like that of the drum section of a marching band. The "battery" of a band, the drum section provides the tempo, rhythm, and power. As though they are guided by an invisible hand, in a market economy said the father of modern economic thought, Adam Smith, buyers and sellers following their own self interest promote the interest of their society. This economic and business history of the United States is lively because it is built around interesting personalities and events and looks forward beyond the surface for longer term meanings and consequences. Readers will wonder why some of those exposed to economic concepts elsewhere find economics--a science of common sense--a difficult subject. In its presentation it is not politically correct by either past or current standards. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Clopton's Short History of the Confederate States of America, 1861-1925 Other counterfactual histories are based on a concept from chaos theory called the butterfly effect. According to chaos theory, a very small difference in one initial condition of a dynamical system, such as a butterfly flapping its wings, may cause a series of changes that in the long run produce a vast change in conditions. "Clopton's History of the Confederate States of America, 1861 - 1925" by Carole Elizabeth Scott is different. So that the ramifications of several things that could have happened can be explored in one story, there are several precipitating initial changes in this story, and the story continues much further into the future than does the typical counterfactual history. This story is very unusual in that it takes the form of a textbook. A unique twist is that this counterfactual textbook was co-authored by a fictional college professor and a counterfactual version of Scott. History professors have biases. By taking the form of textbook, this story is able to demonstrate the likely difference between how victorious Confederate historians would have viewed given events and issues than have real world American historians. Real textbooks often have an appendix; so does this counterfactual textbook. The appendix provides biographical sketches of a number of real people. It provide readers with some insights into often not widely known aspects of the real world that guided the author in fabricating a reasonable alternative history. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR ARTICLES SEE https://freepages.rootsweb.com/~cescott/history/
