“This tidbit isnt featured prominently in the launch trailer. Instead, its listed at the top of the bullet points in the formal description of the DLCs content, alongside the opportunity to decolonize the British Empire. Paradox refers to the political party as the Old Confederacy, but theres no beating around the bush here. The group is intended to be successors to the same white supremacists who fought to preserve the institution of slavery in the 1860s.
This seems like a tremendously bad idea, considering the United States still hasnt come to terms with its history, that the Civil War and the institution of slavery reverberate through today.” Polygon says.
