Underground Airlines (2016) by Ben Winters

This is a great. It's a novel based on an alternative history.  What would the US be like if Lincoln was assassinated before he became president?  The US would still have slavery in 4 states, call the "hard 4."  The protagonist is a slave catcher who was formerly a slave.

It gets you wondering, what about this nation is exceptional?  what is meant by that? If it exceptional, when did the exceptionalism start?

Read this one.
