The Hemispheric War
41
Reverend Graham died in 2019 at the age of 101. His death caused much of the nation to go into intense national mourning. This included a week-long wake in the U.S. Capitol rotunda. Over three million people filed through to show their respect to his casket and a wax figure of Graham exhorting the multitudes.
Then America’s protestant leaders turned to finding a replacement. The quasi position of Protestant Pope remained unfilled all the way to the beginning of the Hemispheric War. Until ... Born in Raleigh, North Carolina, trained at The Cove and Union Theological Seminary and displaying an evangelical effervescence unseen since Graham’s early years, Mordecai Hamm became the logical next choice. With his flaming red hair, Michael Douglas jaw line, and unshakable optimism, he could convert thousands every crusade. He was more than happy to join Willingham at the White House on the war’s first evening. He prayed that God be on the Allied side and that His will be done.
The approximate war-dead score was: North American Allies 3,000, and the South American Axis 1,300,000. The number of civilian deaths was unknown. Conventional chemicals made gigantic areas of Peru, Columbia and Ecuador inhospitable to coca leaves, or anything else, for decades to come. For good measure, tens of thousands of acres were scorched with Stealth lasers, killing all organic life for up to ten feet below the surface.
America itself sustained no direct damage because the Axis was afraid that the U.S. might use atomic weapons. They didn’t. The war was strictly conventional.
