    The Perils of Patriotism: The Spanish-American War of 1854

    I Given the quick POD, I didn't see a point where congress could issue a promotion like that. I could see Scott's going through because of his sheer importance, but Clarke's going somewhat unnoticed. Don't worry though he'll get a promotion soon enough.

    Cont. Not soon after the regiments had arrived at Norfolk, did the ships start arriving as well. Among the ships amassing at Norfolk were the USS Vermont, USS Cumberland, USS Enterprise, USS Delaware, USS Columbus, USS Independence, and the USS Pennsylvania, the largest ship in the United...

    I'm friends with quite a few hopelessly inept southern sympathizers! :coldsweat:

    Frankin Pierce: President of the United States Fellow-Citizens of the Senate and of the House of Representatives: As all of you know, I, at my inauguration, swore to keep our Republic at peace. In times of peace, it is easy for those of us who, are in power during said times, to proclaim our...

    Also, what did you mean about a leap year? Did I make a mistake in the dates?

    Decisive Darkness: What if Japan hadn't surrendered in 1945?

    So the United States bombed Tokyo and Bering with atomic weapons? How are they not an international pariah at this point. The cultural difference of nuclear weapons is something I understand and something thats super interesting, do doubt, but two centers of Asian culture destroyed in a span of...

    Black Warrior Banter: Pre-TL Discussion

    Noted. But how would Kansas-Nebraska be sidelined? The legislation was signed before the date of the Affair(February 28), if I'm not wrong. EDIT: After looking it up, yeah, it would be sidelined by the war, for sure. It didn't get passed until March 30th. Thats interesting.

    Black Warrior Banter: Pre-TL Discussion

    No doubt about Pierce, he was furious that he wasn't picked by his own party for reelection in 1856. What about a vice presidential pick? Since the Pierce Administration lacked a VP after William King's death, do you think Scott would make a solid choice?

    Wasn't Perry in Hong Kong in 1854? I could see him being called back to the states, but it would take a long while.

    I spent all day at work looking up different generals. My personal favourite is Winfield Scott. Really interesting dude. One of the most generaly looking general I've seen.

    Black Warrior Banter: Pre-TL Discussion

    I have another question as well, what generals would fight in this war? I hate to admit it but I'm not very well versed on military science. How does a general get instructed to command an army and is there a way I can look up the US army in 1854 and see what army was where and who was...
