I just finished an alternate history series by Harry Turtledove. The series is based on the premise that the Battle of Antietam never happened, so there was no Emancipation Proclaimation, allowing the British and the French to enter the war and force Lincoln to negotiate peace.
The series starts with the Second Mexican War ("How Few Remain"), continues through WWI, and ends at the conclusion of his version of WWII.
Very entertaining and completely believable.
