4.0
The trilogy starting with Sentry Peak does for (or perhaps to) the American Civil War what Turtledove's 'Darkness' series does to World War II - places it in a feudal/post feudal, magic-using alternate world.
The humor is broad enough that even those with little knowledge of the Civil War will get some of the in-jokes. The storey revolves around a soldier in the Southern Army - one of the blondes the Northern magnates are fighting to keep in bondage - serfdom, not slavery; and a junior officer in the Northern army.
