  1. Benedict Arnold

    I think until he turned traitor Arnold was one of the greatest generals in the Continental Army. If Arnold had not been wounded might he have not turned traitor? Stayed in active duty out of Philadelphia? What could he have accomplished if he stayed loyal to America? What would it have...

    Suppose, starting 2000 years ago the SPQR does away with crucifiction, etc and does nothing worse than run its condemned through the heart with swords, do the rebellion and crime rates go up significantly with no change in the execution rate per offense?

  3. Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Hitler, Lenin, etc.

    Suppose the night before he is actually assasinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand dies of undoubtedly natural causes? Is the world then till now a better place? Suppose Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, and Trotsky also die before any major wars start in Europe, when and if they ever do, then what?

  6. South does not secede in 1860/1

    What if even before November 1860 cooler southern heads prevail and go under the theory the GOP is not able to even try to outlaw slavery yet, will likely be defeated by 1868 if not sooner, and what they try to do against slavery can be undone? Is the GOP giong to be able to eliminate...

  7. Does this ruin the Constitutional Convention?

    Suppose a popular well respected delegate gets the floor, one that the other delegates make it a point to be present when its known he will speak, and says that he really thinks the Constitution should be explicit as to whether one or more states, having joined the Union have the legal and...

  8. Hannibal pulls another Cannae at Zama

  9. Napoleon does a Cannae on the Allies at Waterloo

    I believe under ordinary conditions if Napoleon had routed the Allies at Waterloo they would just raise more troops especially from Austria and Russia and Napoleon would be very lucky to win even one more battle. But suppose Napoleon pulls a Cannae on the allies at Waterloo? Kills or captures...

    What if no one who did not vote in the 2010 and 2014 Mid terms voted in the 2008 and 2012 POTUS elections? Do you think the USA would be better off? Suppose everyone who voted in 2008 and 2012 amongst those still able to vote voted in 2010 and 2014?

    Suppose Germany surrenders two days before the USA mid-term elections in 1918 what difference does it make for Wilson's hopes and dreams of a post war world?

  12. A Lincoln future history?

    I've just started a novel that jumps back and forth between the present and the ACW. I think its going to be a secret history. In it a diary of Lincoln's is stolen in April 1862, probably by Copperheads or out and out CSA supporters. In it Lincoln says he wants to free all the slaves and send...

  13. After the Spanish American War

    Suppose the USA does not occupy the Phillipines after the war? Either Japan or Germany then invade the Phillipines. Is what ensues either better or worse than the Phillipine Insurrection and its consequences of OTL? Or is this so improbable it should be in ASB? Especially the part about the...

  14. Especially for Brits

    According to my history professor, the reason we Americans wanted our Independence was really not over taxation without representation but that we simply did not want to pay the taxes. And she didn't even have a British accent:D Suppose you won the War of American Independence? I see two...

  15. American Professional Football

    I was a big booster of the AFL back when it started. For many years the NFL tried to kill it. Suppopse the NFL had not failed? How would that have lack of failure affected the NFL's prosperity, etc.? Of course if you want to nitpick you could say the NFL did kill the AFL, but could...

  16. Siege of Atlanta fails

    I think the Seige of Atlanta was even more decisive than Gettysburg or Vicksburg. If it had failed McClellan would have won the election but would have lost the war. When Atlanta was taken the CSA had no chance because Lincoln's re-election was sure.

    In the election of 2008 suppose the Democratic nominee had been Al Gore and the Republican nominee had been Condaleeza Rice? How would Rice have done amogst all the voters who IOTL voted for McCain? 70% for Rice, 80%, 40%, 50%, what? I think at least 90%. I think Rice would have won...

  19. USA Vs. Uk war late 1850's

    I seem to recall there was some serious border disputes between the US and the UK about what was in Maine and what was in British North America, or whatever its called at the time. If not, lets say there were, and in 1859 or so the egg hits the fan, in...
