war of 1812

AN: Long time follower of threads, but this is my first attempt at making a timeline on this forum, so please be gentle. June 22, 1807 Commodore James Barron had orders to sail for the Mediterranean Sea to relieve the USS Constitution from that region. But as he looked across the deck of his...

From 1800-1815, the states around the New England region tried to secede from the US, now obviously they failed, but what if they were actually successful. Maybe like during the war of 1812, New England declares independence, what happens then?

With a PoD in 1812, how could we make the War of 1812 end in an absolute disaster for the United States? Including the British managing to annex or occupy as much territory as possible, at this point recovering the United States completely would be impossible but what would be the most the...

The year is 1791. After the first Nootka Convention ended in crisis, British captain George Vancouver is sent to the Pacific Northwest to explore and assert Britain’s right to colonize the region. The Nootka Crisis was a cold conflict between Britain and Spain, who both claimed the Pacific...

A Mere Matter of Marching, Chapter 1 April 27, 1813 From aboard the corvette Madison, Brigadier General Zebulon Pike watched the battalion of green-clad riflemen advance in skirmish order through his spyglass. Major Benjamin Forsyth of the 1st Regiment of U.S. Riflemen was leading them. 'A...

Zebulon Montgomery Pike let out a boisterous laugh as he watched the British soldiers at York scurry away like mice. The sound of his laughter was quickly cut off by the explosion that rocked the earth. The British had blown up their fort, causing large rocks to spray everywhere in a 460m...

In this timeline, The War of 1812 resulted in the British keeping The US again, since they can stop all American expansion if they fully annexed the United States of America, they also made the US part of the colony of Upper Canada & and other Colonies, and the south the Confederacy since this...

Hey everyone, in OTL the British had removed their trade restrictions that were a big cause of the war before the Americans knew about it, and by the time the news arrived, the war had already begun. So what if, perhaps if the news arrived earlier, or President Madison is a little more patient...

Pretty much as the title says. IOTL the War of 1812 had a good chance of being averted since the British had already decided to remove their trade restrictions, but the news arrived too late. Your primary challenge is to avoid the War of 1812, and your secondary challenge is to make DeWitt...

I was starting a timeline, in which the USA gets hammered in the war of 1812, due to Alexander Hamilton surviving the duel which killed him OTL and James Madison deciding that he didn't want to become President. In a case where Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia all fall, and James Monroe...

New York City, July 13, 1804 The city was in uproar. Local politicians Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr had dueled, and Hamilton had been injured. Rumors had circulated for the past 2 days, that Hamilton was dead, or unconscious, or had struck Burr in response. But in the morning, the New York...

Could the Federalist Party return to the presidency after Thomas Jefferson's victory over John Adams in 1800, or were they fated to die a slow death after that and especially the Louisiana Purchase? Perhaps if they retain the governorship of New York in 1801, or take it back in 1810 or 1813...

I've been toying with this for a while. Admittedly, the loss in 1812 is pretty much just set dressing since it would be a bit of fun if instead of the Era of Good Feelings, the country is in political upheaval. So the Treaty would be fairly light, with only some minor territorial concessions...

It's hard to imagine eastern North America without Tecumseh's Confederacy, so it's easy to forget that the United States came very close to wiping it out in 1813. I've often wondered what would happen if William Henry Harrison had been in command of the United States Army at the Thames, rather...

Let’s say that by some crazy means, the United States gains all of British Canada in the Treaty of Ghent. This means that by 1815, they have Upper Canada, Lower Canada, the Hudson Bay, all of it. How they get the land isn’t important. What I’m curious about is what do they do with it? Would the...

What would be the political ramifications in U.S history if the Federalist party had survive the Hartford Convention, an event that many historians agreed destroyed them as a political force. I'm not personally knowledgeable on them, nor their history, but from what I can gathered from scholar...

WI the war of 1812 had gone even worse for the Americans & Michigan, Minnesota & the Dakotas became part of British North America (as Canada technically didn't exist as a country)?

I've seen plenty of threads discussing a different outcome for the War of 1812, but I have yet to see one where it doesn't happen at all. So what would be the immediate and long-term consequences of having no Anglo-American war in 1812? Would there be one anyway in the future? What does the...

Inspired by a comment I made in another thread, I decided that this topic could merit its own thread. When discussing Andrew Jackson's surprising victory at New Orleans, Wikipedia includes an interesting passage... At issue here was the fact that the United States and the United Kingdom had...

https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/ambassador-lafayette-anglo-american-war-in-1793.376211/ What would the long term effects of such a war be? What the war of 1812 still happen? Because I really loved the timeline when I first read it in fact it’s a part of my nation states history...
