  1. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    LOL, thanks. Yeah at least when I speak into my device I can have it larger print and it usually understands what I'm saying. :) Typing, there's no chance :) Also, before I decided to go all the way back to mark twain, I was going to say that Will Rogers probably first came up with the Talking...

  2. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    This sounds really good. Even if the whole last third of the 19th century is about getting "good Indians" away from "bad Indians," just acknowledging there are good ones will be a big step forward. South Dakota as a 2nd Oklahmoma would work, too, becasue originally Dakota was split into 2...

  3. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    Wow, thanks for sharing! I always figured because he led military against them that he hated them, but perhaps with Lincoln's command to keep them on the Union side, Pope might be best up there and elsewhere.

  4. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    Did Ord think well of Narive Americans - or at least better than many? If so, he'd be the perfect one to send off to deal with them. As for Grant, all it takes is a few meetings with LIncoln or Stanton where they say, "You know, it looks like you're putting a bit too much trust in 'x', here's a...

    I just learned from a faellow Cleveland Indians fan last week that there was a good reason, unbeknownst to me, that the red Sox were seen by some as bitter rivals in the early '80s. Dennis Eckersley had basically forced a trade after Rick Manning stole his wife! The 2 couldnt be in the same room...

  6. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    That's true, I am probably putting modern concepts of closure into my idea of a Union Mills gathering. As noted, if there was one it would be about the destruction of the planter class and bringing the pour from both sides together, but I had forgotten just how many were killed also, so much...

  7. Ole Miss Riot of 1962 turns into full-scale insurrection

    I can't see it being as bad as a second civil war. Our collaborative timeline the Selma Massacre looks very plausible, however. Civil rights was going to happen, it appeared, television was making it inevitable that a Civil Rights bill would be passed. However I can see a lot of rumblings, just...

  8. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    In our timeline there were a reunion at Gettysburg on the 50th anniversary and still a few scattered Soldiers made it in 1938 for the 75th anniversary. It seems that, even though the planter class is being destroyed, there would be some desire for a reunion just to show that it is one nation...

  9. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Ouch, I hope she was okay.

  10. NBA: The Difference a Trade Makes

    It very well could have been. Still something that would definitely go well with the comic strip World once he does that.

  11. NBA: The Difference a Trade Makes

    I remember Shaquille O'Neal doing at least a Ride Along as a policeman, though as I look it up I realize it was when he was in Los Angeles and not Orlando. Either way, this needs to be a story sequence of at least two weeks in a jump start comic strip now, considering that the comic about the...

  12. National Unity 1980: A John Anderson Presidency

    What's the hostage crisis sparking my going from following local to National politics as a 10-year-old, the 1980 election was really interesting to me in our timeline. This would really be fascinating and would probably allow me to understand a lot faster how some of those conventions could have...

  13. NBA: The Difference a Trade Makes

    This offseason also will feature the Dream Team in the 1992 Olympics. I wonder if the same players will appear in this timeline? I don't recall for sure but I think Larry Bird played and with him retiring a year early I don't know if he would be on it. Then again, he doesn't have as many rings...

  14. Sports What Ifs.

    The 1987 Redskins' Super Bowl win, 1 of 3 by Joe Gibbs, wouldn't change a lot for their team if someone else won. Karryl Green and Art MOnk and others still are Hall of Famers (and I'll still be unsure if I'm spelling Green's name right), certain people obviously have Super Bowl rigns and make...

  15. Triple Calamity: What if the Three Most Important Men in the Executive Branch Died in One Night?

    A woman in my dorm at college was named Lincoln and went by that; her last name was Kennedy so you can tell them were going for the Presidential naming thing. Still, Link makes sense as a nickname. I think it's generational, too; there's probably an ebb and flow to who gets what names. I seem...

  16. Sports What Ifs.

    If the Braves don't move there, Say they move out to California, it would be a good place for Washington, Calvin Griffith, keeping them till 1984 removes a lot of Bud Selig's prestige so he can't take over in the early 90s. He had almost 15 more years to pal around with baseball owners in our...

  17. Sports What Ifs.

    He trying to group to buy someplace. But the Athletics in this scenario are richer and can get a better Stadium eventually. What him buy Washington instead of Bob Short or whoever owned it before then. Then a few years of his threats later expansion can douse any possible relocation. Well...

  18. Sports What Ifs.

    Arnold Johnson would still have his heart attack in early 1960, but a richer team. Only a couple years removed from the World Series with attract other owners. Perhaps Ewing Kaufman buys them early instead of getting the expansion team. Or Charlie Finley buys them but they are seen as a richer...

  19. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    Yes, I think this was the era of doctor whatever'ss little liver pills, anyone could just go around giving anything and claiming it was a miracle cure. And yet they understanding of what illnesses there were was growing so fast that people almost had to believe them if they did not have access...

    Threadmarks: Side-story: "More on the Life of Dr Da Costa"

    One more from Dr. Da Costa for now, with a note at the end. The medical assistant smiled at the boy, probably around fourteen, despite the lad's scowl in return. "Dr.Da Costa tells me that you are still having some hallucinations, Andrew?" "Why should I talk to you?" The boy grumbled and...
