Bring the Jubilee
by Ward Moore
In a world where the South won the “War for Southern Independence,” Hodge Backmaker,
a northern country bumpkin with academic leanings, makes his way to New York City where
he becomes disillusioned, ponders the notions of time and free will, and eventually goes
to a communal think-tank where time travel offers him the chance to visit the key
Gettysburg battle of the war.
I could say that time is an illusion and that all events occur simultaneously.
“Bring the Jubilee” by Ward Moore, Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, November
1952.
