[1] Thompson would take over following MacDonald's death.

[2] Following the disastrous result of the American Civil War, Senator Lincoln and his family would flee to Wisconsin, Canada.

[3] Following ten non-consecutive years as PM, Lincoln would resign, leaving the reigns of power to his Minister of National Defense, Robert Borden.

[4] The Liberals would manage to replace the unpopular Wilson with more popular King.

[5] Following the outbreak of WW2, St. Laurent would form a governing coalition consisting of both the Liberals and the Conservatives.

[6] Wilson would narrowly defeat fellow Cabinet Minister's Joe Clark, John Sununu and Tommy Thompson in succeeding PM du Pont as leader.

Any questions?

So Indiana and Illinois don't get to join on Yankee Canada when these states are Yankee too? Why?

[1]
In this election, the Socialists got over a million votes for the first time.
[2] Bryan won thanks to a small depression, and because Theodore Roosevelt's bid for the nomination in 1912 seriously divided the Republican Party.
[3] In 1916, Bryan won in a landslide thanks to Roosevelt couping the Republican nomination. But Populism was seriously alienating the urban states...
[4] In 1920, the radical Socialists decided to nominate their most experienced Senator and the first female one in the USA, Ida Crouch-Hazlett. This seriously boosted them with the female vote, but lost elsewhere. But the Democrats were weakening as Bryan's Populism damaged the party significantly...
[5] In 1924, the Socialists entered the Electoral College with a boom as they won several states for the first time with Governor Seymour Stedman. The Democrats was getting confused about their message...
[6] The very popular Coolidge decided to run for a third term. In the election of 1928, Coolidge won by a landslide, but the Socialists surpassed the Democrats for the first time in the popular vote, but came third in the electoral vote.
[7] Hoover was president for two months after Coolidge died and before Roosevelt's inauguration.
[8] Voted in by a landslide, defeating the Socialists and the Republicans, FDR promised to fix the Great Depression. However, the conservatives in his party manipulated his vague idea of a "New Deal" into a neoliberal, free trade program and angered many laborists. Strikes happened against the neoliberal New Deal and FDR sent strikebreakers to break them up, "for the good of the Union". His fireside chats were ignored by the masses and he left office in 1937, the United States' most hated president.
[9] The United States' first Socialist president, Upton Sinclair passed many laws, and his "Great Society" reforms were received by the American people as a godsend after eight nightmare years under Coolidge, Hoover and Roosevelt. The parties those presidents belonged to, the Democratic and Republican parties, were considering a merger...
[10] And so it came to pass that Sinclair defeated not two candidates in a landslide, but one, Thomas Dewey of the Nationals, created from a merger of the old two parties.

The Red Dawn: Confederate “Victory” in the US Civil War.

Well it certainly hits all the Cliches.

How exactly does Indiana boy Eugene Debs become Communist Dictator of the Confederacy?

You Can't Kill McKinley!

I know that if I ask questions you're just going to make things up as you go, so I'm just going to suggest that Research is Your Friend.

Taft goes to Court

I like this one alot TG (Ted? Theo? Gladstone?), I'm not sure any man would having assumed the office just back down in the Face of TR (Who can't win the convention in any circumstance) but it works for the list. An interesting revival of Bryan which actually makes good sense, tough he's have a hell of a time getting the party to accept a Round 4. This is a good one as you took some things that are often overdone but presented them in a sound an interesting way. What are the names of the Ford and Long Parties by the way?

He was chased out of the US in the 1880s and never looked back. The CSA came to regret the decision to grant him citizenship.

(Well in reality I needed a communist from that time and I couldn't find one from the south. So that Indiana boy got the job.)

Debs wasn't a communist and he wasn't even a Socialist until the 1890's though.

Albert Parsons (assuming he isn't hung in his thirties as IOTL), would be a better choice for a Southron Lenin than some Damnyankee agitator.
 
Debs wasn't a communist and he wasn't even a Socialist until the 1890's though.

He was a labour unionist at the time, and the UAS is centralized and rather authoritarian. (And has the Gilded Age on steroids.) Being exiled for holding more moderate beliefs could radicalize him. Not that the CSA was any better. (They had an All-American version of Apartheid going. Plus a 'Gilded Age' of their own. Things were really only going to end one way.)

And I really couldn't find anyone more suitable. The UWR isn't a direct copy of USSR anyways. (Debs would have to be more of a figurehead than a Lenin analogue.) OTOH TTL's Huey Long is basically an analogue of Stalin.

I would definitely use Parsons over Debs, IMO.

Dixie isn't going to be the kind of place on its own where foreigners were going to have an easy time getting to the top, even with a Communist Revolution.
 
A look at my current TL as it should be by the end of the next update, slight spoiler.

This is for a timeline I have planned soon.

Presidents of the Commonwealth of American States, the successor to the United States founded in 1894. It consists of the northern states that are to the east of the Mississippi, and is considered to be one of the two legitimate successors to the original United States (The other being the Confederate States). In 2011, the CAS was replaced with the Second American Republic (Republic of America).

Presidents of the Commonwealth of America (1897-2011)

1. Theodore Roosevelt (Progressive-New York): March 4, 1897- March 4, 1905
2. Eugene V. Debs (Socialist-Indiana): March 4, 1905- March 4, 1913
3. George Walbridge Perkins (Progressive-Illinois): March 4, 1913- March 4, 1917
4. Nelson A. Miles (Democratic-Massachusetts): March 4, 1917- March 4, 1925
5. William M. LaFollette, Sr. (Progressive-Wisconsin): March 4, 1925- June 18, 1925 [1]
6. Charles G. Dawes (Independent-Illinois): June 18, 1925- March 4, 1929
7. Frank Orren Lowden (Conservative-Illinois): March 4, 1929- March 4, 1933
8. James H. Maurer (Socialist-Pennsylvania): March 4, 1933- March 4, 1937
9. Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Democratic-New York): March 4, 1937- April 12, 1945 [2]
10. Paul V. McNutt (Democratic-Indiana): April 12, 1945- January 20, 1949
11. Thomas Dewey (Conservative-New York): January 20, 1949- January 20, 1957
12. Nelson A. Rockefeller (Conservative-New York): January 20, 1957- January 20, 1961
13. John F. Kennedy (Democratic-Massachusetts): January 20, 1961- January 20, 1969
14. George W. Romney (Conservative-Michigan): January 20, 1969- January 20, 1973
15. Edmund Muskie (Democratic-Maine): January 20, 1973- January 20, 1981
16. Gerald R. Ford (Conservative-Michigan): January 20, 1981- January 20, 1989
17. Michael Dukakis (Democratic-Massachusetts): January 20, 1989- January 20, 1993
18. Joe Biden (Democratic-Delaware): January 20, 1993- January 20, 1997
19. Colin Powell (Conservative-New York): January 20, 1997- January 20, 2005
20. James Matthias (Popular Front-Pennsylvania): January 20, 2005- October 19, 2011 [3]

[1] William LaFollette is the shortest serving President in American history.
[2] Died in the waning days of the Patriotic War. Is the longest serving President during the Commonwealth period.
[3] The last President of the Commonwealth period. A poor economy, corruption within his administration, and opposition from the Assembly and low approval ratings would lead to his resignation. The Commonwealth would be dissolved the same day.

This is a list of governments that occupies the territories...

First Republic of America (1894-1897)
Commonwealth of American States (1897-2011)
Second Republic of America (2011-Present)

This is for a timeline I have planned soon.

5. William M. LaFollette, Sr. (Progressive-Wisconsin): March 4, 1925- June 18, 1925 [1]

Robert M. La Follette, Sr. Or I assume so, depending on what the POD is, his cousin was Congressmen William L. La Follette though...

I'd wonder if 1897 is too early to have a "Progressive" Political Party as the term really hadn't developed yet and wouldn't for a few more years but of course, things can change when the US collapses on itself and becomes a new nation.

Overall looks Interesting, I'd be very interested in reading the timeline.

Thanks. If you're curious, the nation basically consists of New England, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, and Wisconsin. There are a total of 17 states (It was founded with 15 of the states it currently has).
 
Been a while since I posted here.

Well, I started working on my "A Nation, Divided" story again, and to renew interest in said TL, I thought I'd be generous and give out a little spoiler for you:

1796-1804: Thomas Jefferson (No Party, then Democratic-Republican)
1804-1808: John Adams (Federalist)
1808-1816: Aaron Burr (Federalist)
1816-1820: Andrew Jackson (Democratic-Republican)

Neat, huh? Ol' Hickory might just end up being the youngest President in this TL's history.....:D (P.S.: "A Nation, Divided, can be seen here. Just click the link! ;))

The term "Progressive Party" dates back to 1830 (albeit in a British reference) so I don't think it's a major issue to have it enter mainstream American political discourse as a buzzword a bit earlier.
