== The Tswana are going to help foment an early [[Civil War]] ==
With Tongues of Serpents, it looks like the U.S may eventually have to deal with a premature war, especially considering how one of the American merchants towards the end briefly mentions the division of slavery in the states (in a 'blink and you'll miss it' comment), as well as his own feelings about slavery. The Portugese merchant gets very irate over the issue and warns him that, yes, the Tswana might attack the U.S soon. Now, if the Tswana did get through their [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] down in Brazil and worked their way up to the U.S, attacking the Southern States over the slavery issue, it might add the right combination of fuel to the flame, along with the help of the small but growing abolition movement in early 19th century Reform Era America.
* In addition, even in the early 1800s, there were a lot of early warning signs for the [[Civil War]] that did happen at about the setting of Temeraire, where states were threatening to secede over economics or tariff issues. Despite the U.S's [[Small Name, Big Ego]] status at around that time, it's possible that future books are going to explore more of the Americas and hit this issue as well.
== The series will have a [[Distant Finale]] ==
