Reborn as the Iron Queen: Love and Gunpowder in the Civil War

Reborn as the Iron Queen: Love and Gunpowder in the Civil War

21 century Wall Street financial analyst Victoria Clarke travels to the American South in 1861 in a car accident and becomes the infamous widow Eleanor Van der Lyn-a serpentine woman recorded in history as having been “hanged by the neck on the eve of the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln for treason”. Lincoln on the eve of his inauguration for treason”. She looks in the mirror at her original character's flaming lips and waist, and sneers, “A villain? No, I'll make both the North and South kneel and tremble under my skirt!” Clutching the mysterious diary left behind by the original owner in her left hand (which records the dirty dealings between the Southern aristocrats and the Northern politicians), and carrying the three mysterious “adopted sons” in her right hand (which are actually the artificial war machines in the Southern secret laboratories), Eleanor kicked away Alexander Hawthorne, the plantation owner who tries to control her by marriage, and threw the champagne into her hand, and then kicked her out of the room. Hawthorne, who pours champagne on a slave-state legislator's marriage agreement: “I have only two rules for parenting: teach my children to level slave estates with dynamite, and teach them to turn Northern generals with love letters.” --When the New York Times ridiculed her as a “slut stirring up the war through nepotism,” she took her adopted children to burn cotton fields live and force Lincoln to sign the Early Emancipation Proclamation; when Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, which was featured in the Washington Post. When Northern spies kidnapped her children, she backhandedly exposed the gold smuggling chain between General Grant and the Bank of the South, making headlines in the Washington Post: “Thanks to the arms sent by the enemy, I am now the first female arms dealer and interim Secretary of State of the United States of America.

Definitely 'Go Tell It on the Mountain' by James Baldwin. This book looks at the life of a young African - American man growing up in Harlem. It touches on themes of race, religion, and family. Baldwin's writing is so powerful as he shows how these different aspects of life intersect and affect the main character's understanding of himself and his place in the world in the context of civil rights.

I also suggest 'Beloved' by Toni Morrison. This novel delves into the legacy of slavery and how it impacts the lives of African - Americans even after its abolition. It shows the deep - seated psychological and emotional scars that slavery has left, and it's a powerful work that has a lot to say about civil rights and the fight for equality.

I think 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is highly impactful. It has been widely read and taught in schools. It makes people think about justice and racial prejudice. Then there's 'The Fire Next Time' by James Baldwin. His writing is very powerful in addressing the race situation in America. And 'The Underground Railroad' by Colson Whitehead is also impactful as it reimagines the Underground Railroad in a fictional but deeply moving way.

I also recommend 'Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry' by Mildred D. Taylor. Set in Mississippi during the Great Depression, it shows the struggles of an African - American family against racism. It details the discrimination they face in school, in the community, and in their daily lives, and how they resist and fight for their rights.

I think 'To Kill a Mockingbird' is very influential. It has been widely read and studied in schools, making people more aware of racial inequality. 'The Color Purple' also had a huge impact. It gave a voice to African - American women and their struggles. 'Invisible Man' too, as it made readers think deeply about the invisibility of black people in society at that time.
