<P> Harry Turtledove, who wrote extensively in this subgenre, acknowledged the influence of Kantor's book on his own work . </P> <P> In The Guns of the South, Turtledove, like Kantor, has Lee's army occupying Washington and Lee acting as a wise and generous victor . Turtledove's Southern Victory includes various elements recognizable from Kantor's book, such as abolition of Southern slavery occurring in the 1880s under President James Longstreet, Teddy Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson being simultaneous Presidents of the USA and CSA respectively, Cuba annexed and incorporated into the Confederacy, and Alaska not purchased and remaining part of Russia . However, these plot elements were inserted by Turtledove into an alternate history quite antithetical to Kantor's in which, far from being reconciled, USA and CSA become hereditary enemies that go to war again and again and take opposing sides in both World Wars, with drastic results for the rest of the world . </P>
