- President Lincoln begged Cassidy to track down this company of Confederate vampires
Context
Confederate vampires!? Where on earth did this come from? This is probably a nod to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. It is a novel by Seth Grahame-Smith (author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies) that got a film adaptation in 2012. The interesting connection is that in this alternate history, those who purchase slaves are vampires who buy them not for labor, but for food. This revelation leads Lincoln to be more proactive in ending slavery and thus, the vampire's access to easy victims.
No specific references to a group called "Bloodfang Rangers" seem to exist elsewhere, so I can only assume that this was an active group of vampires from the South that gave Lincoln so much trouble that he needed Cassidy's help to track them down.

This is a really loose connection, but considering Diana likely lives in the 18th-19th century and according her lore, "drove Europe's vampire population into exile", its possible that those Confederate vampires were actually Europeans trying to make a new (un?)life far away from Diana.
ReplyDeleteThat is quite possible! Maybe they're ancestors of the Confederate Vampires or something...
