Racism and sexism s now much more acknowledged with the South having been driven by it and still a problem in the setting.

Still, there are things like the Chinese Exclusion Act and racist villains driving events.

* InSpiteOfANail: Despite the fact that the United States is once more united into one body, the majority of Deadlands history remains completely the same. The Cold War between the Union and South that drove much of the previous metaplot turned out to have had a minimal effect on settlers.
