Descrição do livro
What if the Hanseatic League had never disappeared? What if, as early as 1507, the Hanseatic League had entered into a far-reaching treaty with England—and over the centuries that followed, had grown alongside the British Empire into a global trading power? As England conquered new territories and opened new ports and trade routes, the Hanseatic League followed. Its merchants sought new markets, new customers, and new streams of commerce. From Hamburg and Lübeck across Africa and India to China and the Americas, an immense network of countinghouses, shipyards, banks, and merchant fleets emerged. Then comes the year 1861. Civil War erupts in the United States. President Abraham Lincoln orders a blockade of the Southern ports, cutting Hanseatic merchant houses off from their vital supplies of cotton and tobacco. When the U.S. Navy stops and seizes a ship belonging to Hamburg Hanse Lord Friedrich Berenberg off Charleston, the Hanseatic League responds in its own way. Not with a diplomatic protest. But with ships. A massive merchant convoy sets out across the Atlantic, determined to break the blockade and defend the freedom of Hanseatic trade. But what begins there sets in motion a conflict whose consequences no one can foresee. Suddenly, the cosmopolitan, internationally minded Hanseatic League finds itself forced to support a nation whose social order stands in direct conflict with its own principles. The Hanseatic League rejects slavery—yet billions in investments, vital trade routes, and entire industries depend on the South. For Friedrich Berenberg, a dispute over a seized ship soon becomes far more than a question of property and commerce. He encounters politicians, generals, merchants, and ordinary people living in a world governed by rules almost impossible to reconcile with his own. And the deeper the Hanseatic League is drawn into the conflict, the more urgent one question becomes: How far can you go to defend freedom, trade, and property—and what price are you willing to pay? The Hanseatic League – Freedom Comes at a Price is a sweeping alternate history novel about trade, power, war, social change, and how differently history might have unfolded if the Hanseatic League had remained one of the most powerful forces in the world well into the nineteenth century.
