  1. Would the CSA have accepted this peace offer?

    Well assuming 13 states(counting Kentucky and Missouri) that means 26 Senators. If the Senators from Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, and Texas vote against and all others vote for. That is 10 to 16. I'm not sure about a Confederate filibuster. I read through the CSA Constitution and...

  2. Would the CSA have accepted this peace offer?

    The CSA was starting feel the pain of the ongoing war. It would be natural that the terms would favor the USA. McClellan would try to keep the western states because of all the Union victories out in that theater of the war. Also, it makes sense for the USA to want to keep Louisiana for...

  3. Would the CSA have accepted this peace offer?

    If the election of 1864 went against Lincoln and McClellan becomes the new POTUS, would the Confederate States Of America accept this peace offer? The McClellan Treaty - Alabama will be allowed to secede from the Union - Florida will be allowed to secede from the Union. The Florida Keys...

  4. Best place for a Scots Colony?

    Georgia and the Carolinas would be perfect for that. I think sheep would do well there also.

  5. Best place for a Scots Colony?

    I'm going to have to go with somewhere in the Southeastern America. The Carolinas or Georgia, after all the Scots did a good job of settling there in OTL. They could work out a deal for Georgia that would separate Spanish Florida, French Louisiana, and The English Colonies. The Scots could...

  6. WI Rifling Not Invented Until The 20th Century

    How would history have been changed if rifling had not been invented until sometime in the early 20th century? People still develop breech loading and rapid fire weapons, just no rifling.

  7. WI: 9/11 One Year Early?

    I would think all of the third parties that got a lot of support in 2000 would lose all of it. This would probably put Gore over the top if all those Nader voters shifted to him because of the coming war.

  8. What if Golden Age continues?

    I've always thought that if something sparked a war with the Soviet Union in the late forties or early fifties then the superhero comics would continue on in popularity. Of course in another long war with a possible nuclear exchange, comic books might be the least of the countries worries. It...

  9. The Central Powers do their best if the Great War starts in...?

    My only concern about about an early Great War is the German plan to march through Belgium. Would they have the heavy artillery necessary to knock out the Belgium and Northern French forts? I know that the Big Bertha Howitzer wasn't ready until 1914. The 305 mm Skoda Mortars that the Germans...

  10. WWI without Ottoman Empire or Bulgaria

    Well if Bulgaria decides it had enough fighting in the 2nd Balkan War, and decided to stay neutral, Serbia would be the major beneficiary. The Serbs only have a single front against the Central Powers and with possible trade with Bulgaria they might be able to get some more artillery and shells...

  11. The Central Powers do their best if the Great War starts in...?

    The Central Powers will do their best if the Great War starts in: 1911 (Agadir Crisis) 1914 (As in OTL) Some later Date And why would they do their best?

  12. P.T. Barnum as President

    P.T. Barnum was apparently a firm believer in equal rights. Maybe he never gets into financial troubles in the 1850's. He uses his considerable wealth and fame to support the Republican Party in the 1860 elections. Going into the 1864 elections, Abe Lincoln decides to put Barnum on the ticket to...

  13. One Wrong Turn: The Rise of Austria-Hungary

    Some Questions: 1) Why did France go to war with Germany, over a naval engagement with the UK? The Entente Cordiale wasn't a real binding military alliance, was there another treaty after 1914? 2) The Franco-Russian Alliance said that if any member of the Triple Alliance mobilized then France...

  14. AH challenge: earliest possible development of smokeless powder, and the consequences

    I was totally thinking about writing a timeline about this! I think a good time period for it's development(that wouldn't be ASB) would be in the 1830's and 1840's. I was going to tie it's discovery into the early production on pinfire cartridges in France. That way smokeless powder would be at...

  15. The Kingdom of Montenegro

    If somehow they where able to stay neutral in WWI, and avoided Yugoslavia, then I'm afraid to say that Fascist Italy is going to eat them alive. Probably before Albanian.

  16. WI: DC Comics and Marvel Comics Merge?

    When DC(National Comics) was distributing Marvel's comics in the early 60's might be a good time for them to come together. I don't think you can have a merger though, one is going to have to take over the other. If it's earlier, then DC buys out Marvel. If it's later, Marvel might be in the...

  17. Firearms question

    I know. It's crazy sometimes to think how well this stuff has held up so well. I remember during the last round of fighting in Haiti(I think it was back in 1999), that a group of soldiers was protecting a hospital in Port Au Prince. There were five of them. One "officer" with a Colt Commando...

  18. No Vietnam- M14 as standard rifle?

    I know the big complaint against the M-14 was the fact it was uncontrollable(by most) in full auto. I know the Japanese Self Defense Force had a similar problem with their Howda Type 64 Rifle(both 7.62 x 51 NATO). They got around it by issuing a lower powered round(color coded with purple tips)...

  19. Firearms question

    The countries in the Caribbean and Central America received a lot of old World War II equipment after the end of the Korean War. I know for a fact, that some Haitian police and army units were still armed with Garands and M1 Carbines in the late 90's. For handguns, they would have Colt Commando...

  20. Comment on the "*Insert place here* in Your Timelines" deal

    When I saw the first one of these(I think it was Michigan), I thought that's interesting. I thought about posting one for North Carolina/South Carolina, and then I thought that it would be repetitive and uninteresting. So, I didn't do it.
