THE ALTERNATIVE TO WAR

George McNeish

GEORGE McNEISH SINGING IN THE CHAPEL SOWING PEACEAMAZON CANADA

What causes war? I looked at the causes of the USA Civil war in the mid 1800's and offered a fictional alternative. Could history have been changed if one person had done something different? My imagination resulted in a story of love, passion, adventure, and danger.

The Alternative to War: Fictional History

In "THE ALTERNATIVE TO WAR" the story of "THE ALTERNATIVE" is retold in a more concise manner.

One person does something different, and the outcome of History is forever altered. Bobby Johnson was against Slavery and struggled to find a way that he could continue to operate his father's plantation without slaves at a time when the rest of the south was using slave labour.

Bobby's best friend, Samson, was his father's slave. Bobby soon had him freed and managed to get him educated, although the laws of the South forbade this.

Although Samson was not physically as strong as other slaves, Bobby soon realized that Samson's strength was in his mind. Bobby was surprised to learn that, while he was struggling to come to terms with the financial feasibility of operating slave free, Samson was working on a plan the free the South.

Set in the southern USA during the antebellum period, many actual events are referred to as these fictional characters race against time to prevent the most devastating war in US history. You will see history unfold in the eyes of both masters and slaves. The belief that slavery was necessary was so entrenched in the minds of both classes that it became formidable obstacle to overcome. Even Bobby had to be convinced that Samson's methods were both financially feasible and sound.

Read "THE ALTERNATIVE TO WAR" and decide. Would it be more believable than actual history where a civilized country causes more damage to itself than any outside force could ever do.

Also included in the new edition, "THE PROGRESS OF PEACE." This commentary brings us up do date concerning the progress (or lack of it) being made towards world peace.
