I wonder if the UK Government-in-exile was located in Canada, would people come to use Canada and the UK interchangeably in this timeline.

Most people seem to envision a world where the legend where Reeman people are simply rename the city-state. One could imagine a world where a legend based on cooperation. I don't think many would know that our modern alphabet was heavily influenced by the Reeman Alphabet. They are after all a...

The Whiskey Rebellion had a sort of "eat the rich" attitude . The rebellion was based from an excise tax that disportionately affected small scale distilleries where there was lesser tax for larger ones. Not too keen on the details myself, as it's kinda a bilp in American and only really talked...

Is the US granted transportation rights of the Mississippi? If yes, there could be an argument for America trying to forge some kind of joint administrator deal though whatever power held New Orleans would have a stranghold on US economy. If America was denied river rights, I feel that Britain...

How did everyone overlook Saint-Domingue?! Saint-Domingue becoming its own principality doesn't make any sense. Saint Domingue had no food infrastructure without France. It's not as though one of the slave revolts would have worked. After all when has there ever been a successful slave...

Dangling in the Wind presents a unique viewpoint on the aftermath of The Planters' Treason of 1854. The book opens with a young woman watching the hanging of her father, her uncles, her brothers, among others, being hung. Being convicted traitors, their property is distributed to their...

Given that the northern regions were not as populated,I feel that would be within the cablites of Texas to control. Texas could perhaps find collaborators with the Mexican to help to secure a beneficial rule for the both. Texas though would be plauged by rebellions by its anti-slavery Catholic...

My thought was a largely joint Anglo-American-Mexico funded project.Britian and US companies/governments paying for about 3/4 of the project and Mexico 1/4. The geopolitical situation I was musing would be a positively predisposed Mexican government under Juarez after American forces defeat the...

Most definitely. These projects especially when under government direction tend to get massive in terms of expense. Thanks for the info!

Given 19th century technology, building techniques how viable would a Tecuantepec canal, without addressing for political stability or lack of it, be? What would the costs be of such a project?

John C. Frémont!

Confederados were a group Confederate expatiates who left the United States after the civil war to Brazil. Most of these ex-confederates returned to the US post Reconstruction. These people mostly settled in the state of São Paulo. Let's suppose a few differences: The exdous of ex-confederates...

Corrective Malthusism- This ideology is based on Malthusian thought of population dynamics, and believe that population control supercede individual liberties. They favor policies that mandate a household's size, not only allow but mandate contraception in various instances, tax policies that...

If tofu or (tau-fu) becomes widely cultivated in America. One could it being used as cattle feed and perhaps slavery plantions adopt the food source as well for an inexpensive meat-like source for slaves. Also, immigrant groups would use it as well. One could imagine the Americans might come...

Interesting. Most likely he would have been a moderate republican. Probably would have voted for 13th amendment maybe 14th too, but would probably not find any love from the radicals. He like other moderates would probably not have great chances against the radical element of his party.

Very interesting. In this scenario,Populary sovereignty could be an anti-slavery Federalist/free soil/abolition based idea. If a state vote to be a free state that's two more senators closer for a potential consitutional abolition. If a state votes for slavery, no matter the northern states...

Arnold's campaign into Quebec is successful and is complimented by further campaigns into Ontario and later Nova Scotia. Cornwallis takes heavy loses to Gates at The Battle of Camden including the death Rawdon . Gates's loses are minimal. Johann De Kalb survives and the strategic victory...

Makes sense to me. :) Something that occurred to me is that until the Twety-fifth the consitution doesn't name specifically any department, how many there would be, the composition of them, just that there would be departments and the President is required to get the opinion of the principal...

The United States of Japan would be proclaimed. The Emperor would be forced to accept a constitution that persevered the rights of samurai and The Tokugawa clan or be forced to abdicate from all power. The USJ would form a legislative body. It would be a decentralized federal government. In...

Presumably, Alexander IV lived to adulthood. Does Alexander III have a children with Stateira II and/or Parysatis II? Does Alexander continue this tradition of marrying conquered princesses and marry an Indian royal? One could see a possible power struggle over Alexander's Empire from his...
