The Discord That Follows Following the Treaty of Paris, the future looked bright, Washington and his generals had won the American War of Independence. Then, in a public display of humility, Washington surrendered his sword to Congress. Unfortunately, the American War of Independence was only...

I haven't decided. Being an American of Irish decent, I might be a little biased. Of course, there might not be the need for massive immigration either. ;)

Thanks, you'll just have to keep reading. Quebec is going to be sleepy for a while, but I will come back to it. The next update is more American stuff.

The World Turned Upside Down With the Carleton’s surrender in Savannah, the major fighting in the colonies ended. While there were raids and counter-raids by loyalists, natives, and militias all around the colonies and the frontier, by and large the fighting ended. This was confirmed when...

Cause and Effect IV: A Change of Command By mid-1779, General Sir Henry Clinton could see the writing on the wall. His army was pinned in New York City while the British were losing ground everywhere. It was, therefore, little surprise when General Sir Guy Carleton arrived in New York City...

Oops...nope. Sorry all.

Cause and Effect III: Winds of Change in the North Quebec, long the sleepy little bastion of loyalism was watching the events of the American Revolution with due care. France, the mother country, had entered the war in support of the rebels (or patriots as they called themselves). Moreover...

As far as I can, I already have ideas up through the mid-1800s when it comes to Europe and Asia. The borders in NA...at least following the war, will be a little different.

Cause and Effect II: A Place in Sunbury The primary focus of 1779 was the Western Campaign, but it was not the only place the Americans were on the move. Washington won Congressional approval to send Arnold and Washington’s son, George Lawrence, and 4000 men (2000 regulars and 2000 volunteers)...

That would be telling. It would appear, my friend, that you are the only reader I have. Any other comments?

Cause and Effect I: Look to the West Washington was not sitting idle as the Americans sealed the British into New York City. As the campaign season wound to an end, Washington was already planning his next moves. Clinton has been confined to New York and even more short handed, having sent...

Corralling Clinton II: The Battle of Rhode Island With Clinton’s arrival in New York City and still reeling from the loss of 3,000 soldiers, Washington marched his army overland to pin down the British while he planned his next move. The French had entered the war and the Comte d’Estaing...

Corralling Clinton I: Battle of Monmouth While Arnold was defeating Burgoyne at Saratoga, the British had managed to occupy Philadelphia. However, the campaign season was coming to an end and the British General, William Howe, elected to winter in the city. Meanwhile, the Americans were...

Thanks. Correct, Arnold is staying loyal and as a bonus doesn't get shot for his trouble.

The Hero of Saratoga Prior to the fall of 1777, it had been said that Benedict Arnold was a vain man who was eager for personal glory. He had received no fame for his earlier leadership in the Battles of Valcour Bay and Ticonderoga. The Invasion of Quebec had been a failure and he had...

Forward: I have done timelines that are similar to the one you are about to read. This timeline is not those timelines. There will be similarities and the premise starts out the same, but I am taking great pains to work this out. Finally, despite how the first several posts will read, this is...

Minds can be changed.

I have tried this in the past. Actually, I will use this as a bit of publicity and state that I am currently re-working a TL I started and abandoned. Its basic POD is Washington doesn't go to Barbados and get smallpox. As a result, he can have children. Butterflies change who he marries, alter...
