A multiracial band of Cuban anti-Freedom Party guerillas commandeers a captured Confederate barrel and triumphantly rides it through the streets of Havana, following the announcement of Jake Featherston's death and the C.S.A.'s surrender in 1944. King Edward VIII of Great Britain reviews a...

Tsarist Russia gets more lucky breaks?

Very intriguing work, and an important turning point for Russia. I've long thought that Michael Alexandrovich was the mild-mannered, reasonable type of person who would've been able to compromise and bring a more peaceful solution to the Russian Revolution. Interesting to see where this goes...

I once read an "RFK lives" story that ends up doing this quite nicely. Through Robert F. Kennedy's election in 1968, he works toward establishing liberal policies like universal health care, strengthening of unions, and racial equality. However, as a devout Catholic himself, and also to get the...

I haven't heard of the series until now, but my God, that map is literally an artistic masterpiece. I can't stop staring at it. I think I'm sold already.

Anti-Silver Shirt poster distributed by the British Labour Party during the 1932 U.K. general election. Already beleaguered from defeat in the First Great War, the onset of the Great Depression caused further economic hardship and national demoralization in Britain, causing much of the British...

Very nice improvements on those posters, Fenwick. The texts look great. In 1946, retired former Assistant Secretary of War Franklin Delano Roosevelt gives a guest presentation at a Socialist Party function in his native New York. Although retired from politics, Roosevelt continued to be a...

Named after Special Order 191, Robert E. Lee's military orders that were not discovered by Union troops in this timeline's POD in 1862.

I agree with you. Furthermore, while it's true that you need to know something about history in order to appreciate AH, I feel that, more than a lot of people would think, the reverse is true as well: AH can be a way to get people to understand and appreciate real history. I think it's...

I'm already a big fan of alternate history in general, but, of course, people who aren't so much into it might see it as a strange, nerdy thing to be interested in. Nonetheless, I think a lot of people would like it if they gave it a chance, so I sometimes try to introduce AH books or stories to...

"Despised" is too strong. In Blood & Iron, Jake sees an early Freedom Party poster that features Washington, and grumbles that he "has no use" for Washington, who was a U.S. president rather than a Confederate president (incidentally, I had a go at making that poster a while ago in this...

Second Great War Confederate propaganda poster from 1943, with the lack of subtlety characteristic of the wartime Freedom Party. Evil U.S. troops stand on the left, overseen by the demonic spirit of despised secession-era president Abraham Lincoln while the red Socialist banner floats across the...

Fan-made art of propaganda posters depicted in the alternate history novel "Give Me Your Tired and Poor," by Harry Turtledove, set in a world where the Entente defeated the Central Powers in the First Great War. In North America, a demoralized, humiliated, Remembrance-obsessed United States...

The Imperial Japanese Navy makes short work of Spanish warships at Manila Bay in 1902, heralding Japan's victory in the Hispano-Japanese War. Although Spain's power had long been in decline by the time they went to war with Japan in the Pacific, other Western imperial powers stood up and took...

Thanks for the praise, everyone. :D Forrest Gump is one of my all-time favorite movies, and I got to thinking about how the character would interpret the world in the America of TL-191. It took off from there. Texas President Lyndon B. Johnson meets the aging former...
