  1. JFK returns to The US Senate

    I think Harry Truman suggested something like that where ex-presidents would have a non-voting seat in the Senate where they could take part in debate and discussion but could no vote. He said this would give us the benefit of the experience ex-presidents had accumulated during their years as...

  2. JFK returns to The US Senate

    So many threads about what if JFK had not been assassinated focus on JFK serving two full terms as President and on what his second term would have been like. But what about his post-White House years? According to things he said to some of his closest friends, and to some of his private...

  3. What if Bobbie Kennedy never ran for President?

    What if Bobbie Kennedy never ran for President? He instead feel he would be more effective in The Senate. As a result, he is not assassinated. He has a long successful career as a United States Senator from New York and even becomes a very powerful and influential senator. Today in 2008 Bobby...

  4. Election of 1860

    The election of Abraham Lincoln, a strong anti-slavery Republican candidate was the match that lit the powder keg of The Civil War. Elect someone else in 1860, especially a Democrat, you are going to delay The Civil War until perhaps the late 1860's or early to mid 1870's. Doubt you could delay...

  5. WI Jefferson and Adams were at the Constitutional Convention?

    If Thomas Jefferson had been there and participated in The Constitutional Convention he would probably have put forth and supported constitutional proposals keep The USA largely an agrarian nation. Jefferson believed The USA should forever remain a nation madeup largely of self sufficient yeoman...

  6. Horses or Camels survive in America

    It would certainly have made the Native Americans much more mobile, and they would have had a very long period of time to be mobile and to have traversed what is today The USA, Canada, and Mexico before the arrival of European explorers. Being more mobile means various tribes/Indian...

  7. What if no Watergate and no Agnew kickback scandal?

    What if there had been no breakin at the Democratic National Headquarters at the Watergate, what if none of that ever happened? President Richard M. Nixon and his entire staff are completely honest, clean, and above board. What if Spiro T. Agnew had never accepted any kickbacks when he was...

  8. Could Nixon have been denied the 1960 nomination

    To deny Nixon the 1960 nomination would have put the Republicans in a very bad position. Nixon was the sitting Vice-President and he was seeking the Republican Presidential nomination. Denying it to him would have been almost as bad as having a sitting President eligable and running for...

  9. AH challenge - Saddam Hussein or sons

    Someone told me that they had read something about The US backed coalition going after Saddam and his sons. The public wasn't told this, but another reason for wanting to get rid of Saddam and also his two sons and establish a Democratic government was concern about what would happen someday...

  10. WI: President Seward, 1860?

    All things considered, I wonder if The South would have still seceeded with a President Seward as it did with a President Lincoln? Even though Seward and Lincoln agreed on many issues such as slavery, Seward was not Lincoln and his way of handling things might have been different.

  11. Succession of the Roman emperors

    You also have to look at The Roman mindset especially in the latter period. Even with some "orderly" or "conscribed" method of succession there would still have been a lot of political infighting by those in or closely connected with The Imperial Household to be in and at the top of that orderly...

  12. AH Challenge: Agriculture Spreads beyond American Southwest

    In terms of what most people would consider to be agriculture The Eastern Woodland Indians such Iroquois did practice agriculture. It may have remained a somewhat "primative" (for want of a better term) form of agriculture because they lacked large domesticated animals fto provide power and...

  13. WI humans were oviparous

    This is something I've often wondered about. For one thing, imagine all the devices that would have been invented over the ages to protect the egg, and to carry the egg, and to keep the egg warm. There would be a new group of crimes much like child kidnapping, in this case eggnapping. Just...

  14. WI: Earlier paved asphalt roads

    If it's any help, I read somewhere that asphalt, also known as macadam was invented in 1839 by a Scotsman named David McAdam. I did not make this up. I think the big problem was durability especially with metal horseshoes.

  15. Fidel Castro: Captialist

    What if instead of being Marxists or Communists, Fidel Castro and his brother Raul had both been devout Roman Catholics and just as devoted Capitalists seeking true Democratic government for The Cuban People? In 1959 when their revolution outsted the Batista government, Fidel Castro seeks to...

  16. Stronger Llamas/Alpaca/other?

    The llama's and alpaca's surefootedness come in part because of its size and proportions. The llamas and alpacas of OTL might not be big enough to ride, but they are excellent and surefooted pack animals in mountainous regions such as The Andes. Their size does limit how much each one can carry...

  17. How did Latin die?

    I don't consider Latin to be a dead language. Since Latin is the basis for a number of other languages such as the Romance Languages, it sort of lives on in those languages that developed out of it. Taking two years of Latin in high school helped me greatly in understanding more about my own...

  18. Ford refuses to abandon Model T

    The Model T Ford was outdated for several years before going out of production in 1927. Henry Ford was quite stubborn about the Model T. His son Edsel tried a couple of times to get him to replace or modernize the Model T, and only succeeded in making his father angry. I don't think Lincoln...

  19. The Nixon White House 1960

    I think too Nixon would have kept a number of people on from Eisenhower's administration. As Vice President, Nixon had worked with these people, knew them and how they worked, I assume he worked well with them. So keeping some of them on at least in the early years of this Nixon Administration...

  20. Would Robert Kennedy have become President?

    That's hard to say, there were a lot of factors that would have hurt RFK in the general election. First, there is no guarantee RFK would have gotten the nomination, and even if he had, I think The Democrats would still have had the kind of fractured raucus convention in 1968 they had in OTL...
