I think someone did a list a while ago. I don't think the Socialists tried running anyone until 1884 after Lincoln brouhht in the left wing of the Republicans and convinced them to actually stand for office and accept seats if they won. I imagine would have been their candidate in 84 for sake of...

They are nominally independent as the Kingdom of Poland and the Kingdom of Ukraine are in eastern Europe I agree. It's absolutely entirely reliant on the US for its continued existence, though obviously the US is more then willing to let them run themselves. And aye I agree the rest of Canada...

Taking all of Canada was necessary to avoid Britain keeping a foothold on the North American continent. Yes Quebec is independent, and Americans probably gave Labrador to Quebec, but they still need to deal with the Maritimes & Newfoundland. Nova Scotia is home to Halifax which in the early...

Possible, but considering that Jake just went after the CSSCOTUS he probably doesn't want anything that remain anyone of the SCOTUS.. remember for Jake it's all about his authority and making sure no one can challenge his. That is why I firmly believe no officer was ever promoted to full...

Building on my immediate prior point, I'm guessing that the ranks and positions within the Freedom Party Guard apparatus probably weren't strictly defined. You've got the Attorney General at the top since the FPG all appear to answer directly to the AG's office directly. There is probably an...

He was a Group Leader (Major General). In my headcanon there was probably a small handful of people above him. As a Group Leader he actually outranked the Commander of the Army of West Texas (Brigadier General Ling). It's probable that he was de-facto Commander of all Freedom Party Guard troops...

Well done! I love election maps like that

Only correction I would have made to that amazing cabinet is the lack of SecWar after Mizel. Featherston was an extreme control freak, and I imagine he had direct control of the War Department either by holding the position himself or abolishing it so he could keep his eyes directly on the Army.

The primary issue of course being so few named Confederate Generals in Official Canon so we rely alot on Head Canon. Brigadier General Ling is probably up there; Commander of the Army of West Texas, he was just doing a job and since the Texas campaign appears to have been waged similar to the...

Considering both the US and Germany extensively used them, probably not as controversial as it IOTL. It probably depends on how wide spread an environmental movement became after the war, how widespread Atomic/Nuclear energy became after as well for how acceptable it was. Unlike IOTL I doubt...

That's a Fair assessment to make. The Russians deplorable tactics aside at continuing to rely on human eave tactics, the war in the East was, from the looks of it, relatively civil affair compared to IOTL, in addition to the fact that the Austro-Hungarian Empire remained an intact political...

I recall that Tennesse was explicitly being mentioned to being readmitted to the Union by Senator Taft in 43 prior to his assassination. I think ultra long term the US plans on readmitting all of the former Confederacy, much like eventually Utah was readmitted, but this will likely take decades...

The War Department is going to retain its title, Clarence Potter mentioned multiple times that he worked in the War Department Offices. Instead Featherston is going to assume control of the Department directly, similarly to how Winston Churchill was also Minister of Decence during OTL WWII

I'll be working those thoughts into my write up!

That can also explain why Mizell supported Knights attempted Coup as after Stuart's firing it was notable that Featherston began firing Generals (as was mentioned by Chester Martin's brother in an off handed comment) so Mizell saw it as going against the country and undermining his authority as...
