What historical events have you used as loose basis for a campaign and how did they turn out?
I am considering creating a campaign based around the American Civil War but not sure on the details. My main quandary is the core basis of the war, slavery. Being DnD the obvious choice is to use orcs, goblins, or similar as the slaves for the equivalent "South" but I dont want this becoming any sort of PC fest where I am accused of making light of slavery by compared enslaved blacks to goblinoids.
So what have others done and how did it work out?
