    The Great Crusade (Reds! Part 3)

    So do the Soviets suffer similar manpower shortages that they did OTL at this point of the war, or is it mitigated by the fact that they're splitting the heavy cost of the Eastern front with the Americans? From the little I know they were having some in terms of a lot of units not being up to...

    Best case scenario for Cairo, Illinois

    I'm not sure it's fair to say it was destined to become a major city, as a lot of the reason it declined was that eventually railway bridges over the Mississippi meant its importance as a transport hub declined. But at the same time, it certainly wasn't destined to become a ghost town either...

    @PNWKing Would it be possible for you to part with Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan? You did claim them first.

    I'll get in on this, sure. It's 2 AM here though, so I won't be putting detailed info up until proper morning. Until then, I reserve the IOTL US states of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio, and Michigan. Plan on repeating my prior bid. :P

    What if Lincoln didn't run for the Presidency in 1860?

    Is the Myth of the Lost Cause a myth in of itself?

    Is the Myth of the Lost Cause a myth in of itself?

    West Virginia exists because a Unionist Revolt succeeded. If a similar one had succeeded in East Tennessee, we might have had two new states.

    Is the Myth of the Lost Cause a myth in of itself?

    Immaterial. The fact that the South was constantly looking to expand slavery is an important thing to note. Especially when Nazi plans for world domination were just as fantastical. Your description of the South as purely defensive is not accurate.
