    WI: Trump Never Ran

    (not sure if this is too soon, but please bear with me. Also lets avoid any political arguments, please :P ) Donald Trump, now our President-elect, was not predicted to run for president in 2016. Polls for the Republican primaries showed Governor Jeb Bush, Senator Marco Rubio, Senator Rand...

    Probably not as blacks may have a general fear of living in North America with the Population Reduction in their minds. Obama could, however, be President of Haiti due to many African-Americans migrating there after the SGW.

    Photos from Featherston's Confederacy/ TL-191

    The controversial photograph of then-Congressman George Wallace (D-AL) speaking at a Sons of Confederate Veterans meeting in 1974. Despite the organization being anti-Freedomite and Wallace speaking against any rebellions against the U.S. government, the image of Wallace standing in front of the...

    What I meant "by the U.S. Navy" was that he would be killed as a Confederate in action; there's no doubt in my mind that his son would be a C.S. Naval officer.

    Perhaps, but if he didn't I'm wondering whether it would be by the U.S. Navy or the Freedom Party.

    John S. McCain Sr. (1884-1943) was a Confederate Admiral who commanded Confederate ships in the Atlantic Ocean. McCain grew a strong animosity towards Featherston due to his opinions interfering with McCain's tactics. While on leave in Mississippi, McCain was killed by the Freedom Party Guards...

    In hindsight: would you rather have Bush Sr. win in 1992 or Bush Jr. in 2001?

    Always been a big fan of Bush Sr., probably him and Bill Clinton were the last centrist presidents we'll see in a long time.

    TL-191American culture, foreign policies, views and society post 2GW

    I'm really curious to see what post-GW2 Confederate/Southern culture would be like. It's implied that the southerners would feel as guilty about the Population Reduction as the Germans did about the Holocaust.

    TL-191 WI: Willy Knight Successfully Kills Jake Featherston

    Not sure how long the grudge would hold out for, though. The Germans were the ones who beefed up the U.S. Military, not to mention it seems like the German-American populace is larger than OTL. I could see the two using each other to keep their mutual enemies at bay. The U.S. could enter the SGW...

    TL 191: The Southern Occupation

    I always felt like Texas would be similar to the Saar Protectorate in OTL, it would survive for a couple of years, but it would probably be absorbed into the U.S. around the 50s or 60s. However, would it be granted immediate statehood or be a southern territory? And would the State of Houston...

    TL 191: The Southern Occupation

    If the U.S. really wants to hold onto the ex-CSA and Canada, I think they would have to delegate power to locals considered "safe" (ex. Anti-Freedomite) whilst administering a military occupation. IIRC in Filling the Gaps, ex-Confederate General George C. Marshall was the head of an...

    TL-191 WI: Willy Knight Successfully Kills Jake Featherston

    What if Vice President Willy Knight did not fail in his plot to kill Jake Featherston? How would this affect the SGW (if there even is one) and the Confederacy? Is there any possibility of the Confederate States surviving to modern day?

    TL 191: The Southern Occupation

    I disagree with the notion of a USSR-esque breakup of the United States. The U.S. was not merely as autocratic or economically backwards as the USSR and the more militaristic American culture will probably ensure the stiff pin-down of the C.S.A. and Canada. IIRC the U.S. Military of ATL did not...

    Hell on Earth - The Presidency of George Wallace

    I'm very sorry for my absence, so I'll answer as many question people might have as I can. Indeed he is. The main problem with Reagan being nominated by the GOP is that his political experience is rather small compared to Romney or Rockefeller. Reagan has only served under 2 years as Governor...

    Hell on Earth - The Presidency of George Wallace

    (probably should've added this, but I'm leaving for a trip tomorrow, so this chapter is going to be rather short. I promise I will make it expand this when I return) Chapter 1A: Death of the Former Vice President March 13, 1968 - Manchester, New Hampshire: Former Vice President Richard Nixon...

    Updated it to Featherston during 1943. I feel like Featherston would have aged similarly to FDR, with the war taking a huge toll on his health. Probably worse since its so close to home.
