The Difference by Gibson and Sterling is one of my favorite AH novels. One of the more interesting plot points to me is that the POD creates a butterfly effect that leads to various scientific and engineering developments having been made earlier then OTL by the time the plot is set in 1855...

All these points make me consider again that changing the date of the rebellion would likely be best. If it starts sooner then maybe the Russians would find a way to ship supplies to some rebel groups. Then again, if the rebellion is delayed by several years then there might be more time for...

I am studying more about the Rebellion in India against the British East India company starting in 1857. As well as other wars involving the British Empire around that time in such as the First Anglo Afghan War, the First and Second Anglo-Sikh wars, Crimean war, Anglo-Persian War, 2nd Opium war...

Thank you. I think I should still add a few more details to flesh it out. I also couldn't think of a better POD to have a Railroad built threw NM before the ACW or have as many towns and settlements as there seem to be in the film. I'm not sure how many towns existed in New Mexico in OTL during...

Agreed, though I don't want to try and resolve every single anachronism. Just as many as I can. The fact that Tuco handles a Bodao 1889 revolver at the gun store makes that almost impossible to resolve. Other weapon anachronisms, that are at least more manageable in my mind, includes the...

I had to go threw the movie again to check and luckily the version on Amazon answers the question. The only other clue that hints to a date is that the grave they are looking for is shown to have February 1862 marked on it

1. Makes me wonder how this alternate ACW may effect textile workers in the UK differently from OTL 2. Thank you for reminding me of Egypt, that is another interesting butterfly effect. Do you have any thoughts on how this may alter Egypt's military reforms? Or if it may still attempt a war with...

🤣🤣🤣DERP!

I can agree with that, but the focus of my thread is What If he did win as Mr. Beat has in his ATL and what are the consequences on a global scale

I'm a big fan of westerns like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Even if it his historically inaccurate. So I'd like to create a challenge to make an ATL in which the events shown in the film would be more plausible. The major inaccuracy is how the Civil War is portrayed in the film. The plot...

Please look at the link in my OP to Mr.Beat's youtube video in which he lays out his ATL that I want to expand upon. He imagines Douglas dying as he did in OTL and his VP Herschal Walker becoming POTUS Edit: I meant Herschel Johnson 😅

I went with the option of having him defend Hispanic land rights since he had a Hispanic girlfriend before he was killed and was supposedly close to other Hispanic people. So I kept that in keeping with his OTL history of behavior. The idea of him aid robber-barons, and resigning due to...

I don't know much about Chase. How do you think he'd be different I think 4 more years might give Lincoln more time to evolve in his thoughts on slavery so that by 1864 he believes as he did in OTL that it must be ended. 4 years is plenty of time for people like Frederick Douglass and Martin...

I agree with Mr Beat that Douglass was the most likely candidate after Lincoln for POTUS. As for position of POTCS, I'll assume the CSA of TL still has one term presidencies

I made a post about this before, but it did not get much traction. Likely due to the title. So I want to post about this scenario again, with a few added details. I would also like to link to past threads I have found addressing the topic that I think add some interesting points...
