  1. What would it take for post-ACW Dixie to decisively reject its antebellum heritage?

    Along those lines I have been working on a TL that ends with something like what the OP suggests, America reunited in a way that will subdue prejudice and division. First, hatred is based largely on fear. The fear of a repeat of Santo Domingo fueled racial hatred in the South. After the CW...

  2. Lincoln Shot, Seward Killed: The Last 150 Years

    IOTL, Robinson was there on hospital duty. He was an invalid and not able to put up much of a fight though he made a good show considering his condition, though the struggle with Frederick after the pistol misfired may have slowed Payne down a bit. Though I would trade Lincoln for Seward, too...

  3. WI Merrymount had survived and become the dominate colony?

    The natives still had the numbers at this point. A strong alliance that introduced Western tech might have been hard to beat.

  4. WI Merrymount had survived and become the dominate colony?

    I didn't go too deep with this but I have the impression that Morton was getting along well with the natives. Americans are still viewed as puritanical by the debauched Europeans. How would America have developed differently if there had been a significant pagan influence?

  5. WI Merrymount had survived and become the dominate colony?

    John Morton set up a good time colony, raised a maypole, consorted with the Indians at drunken orgies and had a generally good time until the Puritans showed up an pooped on his party. So WI Merrymount had survived and/or overshadowed puritanism? WI America was born a pagan country? What are the...

  6. Tsouras Trilogy

    I am about 20% of the way through this. Not bad so far. Tsouras can tell a story/piece together a timeline, though his writing is not so great. There are a lot of spelling and grammar errors. An editor would have benefited him greatly. I get the feeling the the effort was rushed. Still, not a...

  7. Best leader to succeed McClellan in 1862?

    Lincoln Perhaps a little out of left field but Lincoln was an excellent commander in chief. He and Chase made a foray on their own and captured a city in Virginia. He also went ashore from his ship on the Potomac and scouted enemy territory. Maybe ASB but to show Lincoln taking the field as a...

  8. Lincoln Lives

    This one has been well worked over. My first TL as well. Here.

  9. Lincoln Survives Assassination

    Actual text flows forth occasionally. I understand how writers spend years producing books. One year after I decided to write, I am at about thirty pages now. The research continues to include the books listed below with about ten to fifteen more on the list before I set myself to writing...

  10. WI More Active and Effective Reconstruction

    But then that was not a problem for Texas or Hawaii Both were annexed by simple majorities. Just a joint resolution. Objections were made but we see the outcome. The first precedent was standing at the time of the Santo Domingo annexation debate. The only way I can honestly see it working...

  11. A 3rd British-American War

    I have been through parts of this scenario myself with a few different twists. It is an obvious point in history that leads to some very interesting possibilities and butterflies. But really, I think it played out here. Nothing new is really going to come up that has not been discussed in depth...

  12. Bleeding Florida: An Alternate History

    Some parts of your thesis may have been discussed elsewhere, as most have been. See Lincoln Survives Assassinationand What if More Active and Effective Reconstruction,.

  13. Traveling North from Georgia: A Trip on the Underground Railroad

    I am working on a book which I have described at https://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=318660, Lincoln Survives Assassination. I am about to begin writing a series of scenes where the protagonist and his father's four household slaves journey north from Taylor County...

  14. WI Nathan Bedford Forrest Captured (or Killed)?

    Hang Him! Responsible for Fort Pillow massacre? Why was he never hung?

  15. AHC: Black Reservations

    We worked through some of the issues around the establishment of a post-ACW black homeland in my posts below. There was money appropriated for colonization. Lincoln was all for it even after the issuance of the emancipation proclamation. The idea, or threat, of black reservations is not so...

  16. AHC: The British buy Alaska?

    Pretty sure this one has been done once, maybe twice.

  17. AHC: An independent Florida

    You can check out my timeline for a possible scenario. It involves the establishment of a free state for freedmen after the ACW, something that was actually considered and was shown some interest by Frederick Douglas, though I have been able to find little on it outside of a single statement in...

  18. a liberal/left Christian U.S.A.?

    In our dreams. Where did we go wrong? Find that and it is your POD.

  19. How can I create a Jewish US state?

    It may not be a recent POD but just have South Florida break away at the I-4 corridor. You can call it Jewtopia :)

  20. Lincoln Survives Assassination

    Why limit yourself? Boston, South Carolina, Jamaica... Everywhere the Empire existed rebellion had to be put down by force of arms and generally with great brutality. But there was vengeance at Cowpens, was there not?
