Nice update. Would you say the USA is more powerful at this point in time than OTL?

Well done to Poe. Surprised he wouldn't get a third term because of his federal initiatives.
Yes it is. It has more infrastructure and more wealth compared to OTL. So does the DSA compared to its OTL equivalent regions. Interestingly this has not been the case for either region in the earlier part of the timeline. I will have to look at the numbers but I suspect that things started to flip by the 1820s, though of course there was a dip for the BSA in the 1840s 1850s, but by the 1860s on both the USA and DSA are stronger than thei OTL counterparts.
Can someone please point me to the point in the TL where Slavery became illegal in the USA?
It was abolished in the DSA when they lost the Slaver rebellion.It was abolished with the ratification of the Constitution. What I can't remember is when slavery was abolished throughout the entire DSA.

Good question. Glen would have to say but I suspect the answer is yes. They had a larger population hit initially compared to OTL but since then things have gone better for them. No civil war, markedly faster social development and more land to settle and develop.
Think TTL is a little ahead of OTL technologically.

Got it. Thanks for the response.

**Some Historians dispute whether Lynch should be counted as a President, and instead classify him as 'Acting President', but most history texts count him as the 12th President of the United States, even if never elected to the office.
Wow! a *lot* fewer presidents in TTL. In OTL, we got to number 18 in 1869 (Grant). Only one assassination, and nobody dying in office of illness.
