It's possible, but not the most likely IMO.

It's 113 miles (in a straight line) from Alexandria to Shreveport and that's after going down the Mississippi a good distance and back up the red river just to get to Alexandria. I'm not sure the schedule works for them to be back for Grant's offensive, especially as contraband seizing and...

Not an expert but I don't know if a raid of Shreveport at this point is feasible logistically...

Sorry, I missed where you said "DRA 2020 app".

Ambitious. What do you use to determine PVI?

That might be optimistic.

I do wonder how things would have gone if someone hit the planter class over the head with a clue-by-four about what a civil war would mean. So they just did politics where they still had SCOTUS and the filibuster in the Senate, just how long they could have kept slavery.

Yes, and it could take less for the financial crisis could hold off until December.

A Vermin Supreme that could win a nomination is not the Vermin Supreme from history, so who knows?

Most countries wouldn't come. It's be like the 1904 Olympics.

I changed my password before trying the test forum (to prove I could remember my password). Had to use my old password to log in on the test board though.

Of course the U.S. held an Olympics in 1904 that few other countries attended. And there were they boycott in '80 which reduced the number of countries almost in half. They could certainly go through with it even if not many other countries can send people.

Yes.

IDK. But the U.S. will likely be buying most of that oil, probably with U.S. companies, at the very least, helping to develop it. Trade with Asia will still be coming from California via rail. Is there less seen need for a canal without the U.S. on 2 oceans, or more, if they do want to...

Yep the U.S. is still going to be super well off, with one of the best breadbaskets in the world and a large part of the industrial potential of OTL. Worth noting that with 70% of OTL's economy the U.S. is still likely to be the world largest economy at some point in the 20th century.

1800s America already got wanked pretty good.

It wasn't, until it was.

I think settling ex-slaves in Texas is probably going to do more to attract unwanted attention from the USA than prevent it.

The small states would, correctly, see it as weakening them in the Senate. They wouldn't be for it at all. Most large state politicians wouldn't be for it either, though it would make since for some of them to be if they got foresightful. If this somehow did pass they would new states need a...

U.S relative peak was 1945-1948, nuclear monopoly and around half (percentage debatable as well as measure selection) of the world's economic output. As for the question, depends what you are going for.
