"Bring the Jubilee" by Ward Moore is a speculative fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story unfolds in an alternate history where the Confederacy emerged victorious in the American Civil War, leading to a fragmented United States with profound social and political implications. The protagonist, Hodge Backmaker, reflects on the legacy of the war through the eyes of his family, particularly his grandfather, a battle-scarred veteran living in a divided nation still grappling with the consequences of conflict and societal change. At the start of the novel, Hodge is depicted as a thoughtful and introspective young man living in a world compromised by its history of war. He grapples with familial legacies, particularly that of his grandfather, who represents the lost hopes of the defeated North. The narrative introduces the social structures of the time, including the impact of war on social mobility and economic conditions. As Hodge contemplates his future against the backdrop of a society marked by strife and still rife with grievances from the past, he struggles with his own identity and aspirations while his world offers limited opportunities. The opening sets the stage for his pursuit of a place in a society still haunted by the divisions of its tumultuous history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
