** "Cato's War" see the horrors of Confederate slavery taken to UpToEleven with the coming of industrialization. Factory slaves must keep working even if injured, and the death of a slave is treated as only a minor inconvenience. Worse, slaves aren't even allowed to have families, and female slaves are often assigned to birthing crates, where they are raped until they're impregnated. Children as young as five are sent to work in the fields. It's mentioned that slaves account for over seventy percent of the Confederate population.
