[Straha]

here's a little preview for you...

Interesting, what is the rest if the world like at this time?

[Nicole]

Costa Rica has been conquered!

For all I know I guess they could have freely joined (the US was seen as a model in Latin America for awhile), but mega-expansionist USAs in ATLs seem to tend towards the conquest types...

Inland is a rather odd state name... I assume free slaves were settled in Liberia? I wonder what happened to the Indians (screwed over, most likely... poor guys)

And the Avalon Peninsula is independent? :p

[Straha]

1 This isn't DoD. Lol. :rolleyes: :p ;)

2 This US has an... imperialistic streak that it got during the Hamilton Presidency of 1797-1809. That's how it got the carribean.

3 I wanted an alternate sounding name. You are correct about the slaves being resettled there. This america has a REAL reconstruction.

4 Damnit I hate minor details like that on these giant maps... lol

[Nicole]

Hamilton directly becomes President? Interesting, what is Adams' fate?

Hamilton's veep.

[Nicole]

Hamilton's veep.
And what about Adams?

Quincy Adams, I mean :p

Hm, strange as the Federalists were pro-British. Or did they take the French and Spanish ones first? (As part of the Napoleonic Wars?)

1 Dunno yet

2 They BOUGHT the british carribean and took the franco-spanish ones in the napoleonic wars.

Well, I was right on one count at least...

[Straha]

Indeed. Imagine the cultural mixing that would result from the US getting the carribean, louisiana and north mexico during the napoleonic wars, the rump of mexico in the 1830's and central america/phillipines post-1865....

[Othniel]

Assuming by Panama...Gran Columbia is a client state, isn't it?

[Max Sinister]

Is there a big Civil War as OTL? Then the South has many more states, that would change a lot...

[Archdevil]

2 They BOUGHT the british carribean and took the franco-spanish ones in the napoleonic wars.
And what makes you think they'll just sell some prime strategic real estate?
No war of 1812 I assume?

[fortyseven]

Does the US still hold Philipines? Does it hold Hawaii and other OTL Pacific islands?

[David S Poepoe]

Colombia - A Latin American possession in North America?

1 In OTL the area was called british Columbia. In this

2 The US has phillipines and hawaii as states.

3 To cement an even more valuable strategic alliance of course. And of course theres no war of 1812

4 There is a big ACW as per OTL but not at OTL's timing. Its foguht moreas a war to the knife and ends with a real reconstruction.

[David S Poepoe]

1 In OTL the area was called british Columbia. In this

In this ATL its named after another nation? In OTL the river was the name of the ship of the river's discoverer.

I meant "Columbia" its a typo.

[1978]

I want to live in Vandalia! :p ;) :rolleyes:

[Gass3268]

It's nice to see Wisconsin have the Upper Peninsula!:)

[Archangel Michael]

I don't think switching the Nebraska and Kansas names would work. "Nebraska" is an Indian (Oto I believe) word meaning "flat waters" which refers to the Platte. And the last time I checked, the Platte doesn't run through Kansas.

Depending on the POD why the Gadsden Purchase?
