The film is presented as though it were a [[United Kingdom|British]] documentary (actually titled ''C.S.A.: The Confederate States of America'') being presented on a Confederate television network. The documentary is apparently controversial due to its disagreement with orthodox American views of American history, but is being shown in its entirety by popular demand. There are also short commercial breaks advertising racist products - some of which were real-life American products, including ''Darky Toothpaste''<ref>

The documentary segments detail the history of America from the [[American Civil War]] to the present day. The chief turning-point, however, is the [[Battle of Gettysburg]], which - thanks to the successful diplomacy of [[Judah P. Benjamin]] - includes [[United Kingdom|British]] and [[France|French]] troops fighting with the Confederacy. The Union later surrenders, and [[Abraham Lincoln]] is arrested after attempting to flee to [[Canada]] in blackface. After serving two years imprisonment, Lincoln is pardoned (in an effort to appease the conquered North) and is exiled to [[Canada]], where he dies of old age.
