  1. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    Such a neat little thing to highlight, and something I imagine will get name dropped a lot during Congressional tours. The war and its destruction leading to the Capitol itself being rebuilt anew, but this time with free labor, black and white. Interestingly, from what I can find, by January...

  6. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    And here you can see how your story earns its title. It's often been remarked that this civil war has been a far bloodier affair, and now we have some firm numbers as to how. Double to triple, depending on the estimate, the number of deaths compared to OTL, most especially in the South.

  7. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    An absolute triumph @Red_Galiray, bravo. The contrast from how the war began and how it ends will always be fascinating to me. The South, aggressive and outraged, starting the war having pushed even farther with the admittance of Kansas and an even more lopsided Dred Scott. That they took and...

  8. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    I really do appreciate the logic you've used with the 1864 election. Lincoln only does slightly better in the popular vote than OTL, which might surprise some people. I think given his more radical platform and the course of the war it makes sense that it averages out to better but only to a...

  9. The Perilous Fight: America's 40 Years of Reckoning

    Very interesting Uzbek! This is one of those periods of great flux, with all the unrest and rioting and panic and overreach, that is equal parts scary and fun to read about. Seems like your America is going to be a not-so-nice place for the foreseeable future.

  10. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    You can argue it so many ways. Breckenridge being couped and murdered has thrown the Northern Democrats and copperheads into almost as much disarray as their southern counterparts, which in the immediate future is absolutely to Lincoln's benefit. But you could argue that in the long run it's a...

    Just discovered this yes and I have to say, simply fantastic work. Dense, certainly dense, boy have you packed this with depth, but enjoyably so.

  12. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    It's been fairly obvious that the planter class has been sowing the seeds of their own destruction but this chapter truly did weave it all together. It all has a 'party like it's the end of the world' aspect to it. The nation is quite literally disintegrating before their eyes, the enemy is at...

  13. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    The truly critical component of this is that the alapologia of the poor southern whites is explicitly against the southern aristocracy. Will poor southern whites stop being racist? As you said, no. But the true power in the south has never resided with them, not truly, but instead with the...

  14. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    A interesting change too is that it might make the question of "when did the Civil War end" fairly murky. There's not going to be any surrender by a central authority here. Individual regiments, generals, or even armies might. Individual governors or state governments could too. There will be a...

  15. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    I'll admit, I had always assumed Breckenridge would die. But for whatever reason had assumed it would be anticlimactic. It would be while secluded in prison due to typhoid. Or in a fire. Or he'd simply disappear. Something would happen in the fall of Richmond and he'd never be heard from again...

  16. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    He's far better off dead as a martyr for poor southern whites than anything else. Breckenridge doesn't strike me as someone who would repent for his sins if given the chance. The best you'd get is him blaming their every failure on the planters, which is useful, but is assuredly going to be a...

  17. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    To start? Absolutely not. The only two emotions I can imagine being felt in the North are schadenfreude with perhaps a bit of anxiety due to the unknowns of how this might affect the war. But in the future? I'd never call it sympathy, but he does seem like an interesting enough figure here...

  18. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Breckinridge almost comes off as something of a tragic figure here. Seemingly one of the few Confederate Leaders aware of the realities of the war, what would need to be done to arrest the situation, that a negotiated settlement was now the best avenue for securing some of the the peculiar...

  19. WI: 2000 election goes to the House, Bush elected President, Lieberman as VP

    Lieberman would be frozen out, to start, especially as his vote is going to help give Democrats control of the Senate from 2001-2003. There would be fairly large effects given how much Cheney influenced Bush and the sway he had in the administration. Ironically there could be fewer neocons in...
