Black Steam: A steam punk novel
<This is my intro . . . am i too far off base? >>
Black people who came to America did not always arrive in chains. They arrived by luxury China Clipper sailing ships, underneath giant bags of hydrogen gas, or on the backs of giant Vodoun eagles. These people brought the philosophy, socery and science of Africa to the emerging New World. But their divine mission was not to build an Empire to rule over human civilization; the African ancestors had demanded that the chosen people be put back on the right course and onto a proper timeline.
Thus, with the divine help of the Africans, the Southern Confederate States were destined to defeat the Northern Federal Union in the American Civil War. But even the Ancestors make mistakes and rely upon “The Gifted Messengers” to set things right.
