Interesting. Hope you get lots of participation on your TL. However, could a king of Judah like Hezakiah, unite all the tribes, especially the more northern ones, with Jerusalem being so far for them? Anyway, it would be interesting to see if a more powerful and unified Israel could have...

So just make Elvis eternally 24 years old, and kill off John, Paul, George and Ringo before they can ever form a band. The plane that crashed killing Buddy Holly lands safely, and the commies in Hollywood get scared straight by the Senator McCarthy.

There just hasn't been the type of mass immigration (legal) anywhere in the world in OTL to increase the population of Canada from roughly 32M in OTL to a population of at least three times as much (can't see a superpower without at least a population of 100M). The UK is hardly close to...

The point of this thread was to posit a timelime to realistically show how the CSA, following a victory in the civil war, would still be country of slavery in 1920 or later. But like so many threads, there have been numerous tangents. While I understand the argument that the CSA would cling...

Since i am absolutely no expert on Indian culture and society, I hesitate to express much of an opinion on the matter. But it is my underatanding that for reasons beyond my knowledge, Indian cultures and societies have been resistant to many efforts over the last two millinenia to christianize...

Please list all countries that had legalized, government sanctioned slavery after Bravil abolished it in ?1882?

I don't claim to be too familiar with the constitution of the CSA that existed circa 1861 - 1865, but with the southern mindset being state's rights oriented and not federal rights oriented - hence why the southern states formed a confederation instead of a republic, I believe that it was within...

Suppose the South somehow wins the civil war (but obviously instead of calling it the American Civil War, it is called the war for independence of the confederate states of America. Suppose this occurs roughly about the same time as in OTL Spring of 1865. POD, probably would be a major victory...

I love TLs that are wankers for the Republic of Texas. First a few facts and statistics from OTL RoT. 1836: Texas declares its independence from Mexico. At the time the entire Anglo/American population (including slaves) is about 35,000 to 40,000. The population is also very scattered...

So happens in Tejas from the time athat it signed its DOI in Dec of 1835 and the Mexican re-capture of San Antonio in 1837? Plus, was there a siege and battle of the Alamo as part of the Mexican recapture of San Antonio? Though it was a battle the Texans lost in OTL, it is still the most...

I like what I have read, and I was thinking something along what Wendell suggested. Northwest Europe, British Isles, North Central Europe, The Baltic area, and Scandinavia would be the boundaries of a Germanic country, speaking a common Germanic language and whose ethnicity for the most part...

You bring up an interesting point. Back in the early days of professional sports, the franchises with the most money had the most power and were able to control much of their teams' destinies. The Yankees were so powerful during the 20s, 30s, and 50s because it was by far the richest franchise...

Back in the old days of professional sports when the Celtics were always winning, or the Montreal Canadiens were always winning, or even when the Yankees were always winning, there were far fewer teams in the competition. For instance the NBA had only 8 teams from the 50s to the mid 60s, and...

So what's your POD to alter the conventional wisdom in Europe as well as sacred Church teachings that the only things west of the coasts of Ireland, France, Spain and Portugal were water, sea monsters, and then the edge of the abyss? My guess is that somehow a skilled, intelligent...

New to this message board, so this is the first time I've seen a thread starter bitch slapped over his WI. Too funny.

I voted for the Black Death. The consequences of one-third of Europe dying over a 2 year period are enormous. It completely changed the perspectives of Europeans in terms of the Church/Pope, science/medicine, philosophy/humanism, etc. Without the Black Death you probably don't have a...

IBC, sorry about the lack of clarity, but you and I basically agree. I understand that at the time of the ARW, there was no such thing as British Canada, but my take was that "eventually" The colonies would become subordinated to Canada. Eventually means many many years. In my scenario, the...

The large area of land north of present day USA that is still tacitly linked to the UK.

Similarly, if you take a 50 year old peasant woman who already has 5 grown children, and she dies 10 years sooner ITTL than she did in OTL, can you minimize the butterflies?

Prior to the start of the ARW, there were numerous acts of minor terrorism by various rellion group, most notably the Sons of Liberty led by Samuel Adams and others (remember the Boston Tea Party). Once the organized war effort fails, and depending upon how the British deal with the American...
