Have you wondered how life would be if a significant part in history would have happen differently. Take for example the Civil War; the North won and the slaves were freed, changing the course of history to what society is now. But what if the South had won? How would that have affected life today? In a 2004 mockumentary directed by Kevin Willmott, shows us what that would be.
Before you click the link let me remind you that this is a “mockumentary”, what would have been a documentary in the alternate world were the Civil War was won by the South, so it is NOT true; my professor emphasize this very much for those who don’t know their history, it is to be enjoyed and have a laugh.

I liked this video because it includes the documentary as well as the commercials. You may find interesting that some of the commercial’s products or places actually did existed.

In my opinion I don’t think this video completely represents how it would be if the South had won the Civil War. I believe that there would have been also a Civil Rights movement, campaigns and people speaking out for their rights and equality. It happened back then and it is happening now, and what it’s not to say that I would happen in an alternate reality.
