That's why I didn't write a TL. But I figure that Captain George Vancouver is one of the constants of the universe.

I was reading about how to arrange a Chinese discovery of America, and just started doodling :o... this is what I came up with.

The Dana Carvey Show is a satirical TV program airing Thursdays at 10 pm on FOX in the United States. Dana Carvey, its host, left SCTV in 1996 after a series of creative differences with NBC over his desire to introduce more subversive and experimental forms of comedy into SCTV, which in its...

Wow, talk about making lemonade out of lemons! All this because of GreatScottMarty's ignorant claim that Caesar Augustus Rodney was dead, and that John C. Calhoun should replace him. Well, if it advances the cause of freedom, then I'm all for it.

I'm glad to see the Radicals weren't a one-off movement. I presume they passed abolition in under President Twilight (who probably had a Civil War on his hands), and passed the civil rights bills under President Frémont?

If you mean EXACTLY as in ancient times, then I agree with Abdul Hadi Pasha's rant. But that's no fun. Let's assume you mean that it's OK for the Romans to constantly repair, modify, and update the buildings. In other words, the Colloseum now looks like this: The Circus Maximus now looks...

It seems kind of odd, but keep the Nazis from coming to power. Instead of OTL's 2-way space race, you might have a 5-way race among the USA, USSR, UK, Germany, and Japan -- the latter three not having been broken by war, and still being far and away the other largest economies in the world...

I know Caesar Rodney died in 1784. But his nephew, Caesar AUGUSTUS Rodney, was a politician of considerable talent. In OTL, he was a U.S. Representative from Delaware, U.S. Senator from Delaware, U.S. Attorney General, and U.S. Minister to Argentina. In OTL he lived from 1772-1824, but if he...

I'm fine with your POD. It's just that the lists all have Adams as the VP -- it looks like tb75 didn't realize what your POD was, and we all ran with it. OK, here's the corrected list for the next submitter to use: 1789-1790: George Washington/John Jay (No party) Dies due to Anthrax poisoning...

Wait a minute, why didn't John Adams rise to the Presidency in 1790? Even before the 12th Amendment, Article II, Clause 6 stated: "In Case of the Removal of the President from Office, or of his Death, Resignation, or Inability to discharge the Powers and Duties of the said Office, the Same...

Incidentally, I should take the time to post a couple more of my notes while I still remember this TL well. First, here's the rough 2010 population in OTL of the nations/regions described. In other words, this is what the modern-day population would be if this TL had no effects on immigration...

Well, the lack of references to China is understandable. It's hard enough to keep a TL under control when there's just one continent to focus on; try to chronicle the whole world and you're liable to bite off more than you can chew. With big TLs like this, it's safe to assume that a "river"...

That was just me being ridiculous. I figure ITTL he doesn't become famous as a teen, goes to Columbia on a music scholarship, and they meet there?

Yeah, my logic for Republican Malia was basically what Snowstalker said. I figured, ITTL Barack Obama probably ran & lost in 2012, and stayed in the Senate. So Malia "switching" parties isn't big news like it would be for the daughter of a U.S. President. Then, I asked myself what could have...
