Garfield is one of my favorite presidents and, as I have expressed in previous threads, I feel that he had the potential to become one of the best. It is exciting to see this timeline rebooted; I especially like the details you have added. The political cartoons are a nice touch. You definitely...

I've decided to vote for Prohibition as I 1.) Dislike child labor and 2.) Like universal suffrage. Let's just get Prohibition out of the way so we don't have to deal with it later.

I apologize for being a bother, but does anyone have a map of Italy circa 1850?

One party state, go, go, go! 1. George Washington (Independent) 1789 - 1797 2. John Adams (Federalist) 1797 - 1805 3. Alexander Hamilton (Federalist) 1805 - 1813 4. Gilbert Lafayette (Federalist) 1813 - 1821 5. Thomas Jefferson (Democratic-Republican) 1821-1823 [1] 6. James Madison...

John Jay is someone who I hadn't thought of but he is probably a good choice as well. He has quite a bit of political experience, having served as Governor of New York and Secretary of Foreign Affairs. Jay's popularity might be undermined by his vocal opposition to slavery, but there aren't a...

Benjamin Franklin is in extremely poor health by the time the Constitution is written up, to the point that he dies less than three years after the ratification of the Constitution. He is senile and would not even live out a fourth of his term. Jefferson is a possibility but I am hesitant to...

I think the Spanish, if they want any hopes of succeeding, are going to have to build up a base in East Asia prior. This means developing a stable, fairly wealthy and populated colony nearby. It would also do them well to exploit some internal divisions within China or Japan.

If the Vice President has been inaugurated, then he ascends to the Presidency. If not, the Speaker of the House will. That scenario is hardly a problem. The real clusterfuck would be if the President-elect and Vice President-elect died after the Electoral College cast their votes but before...

I tried one, but it was an abject failure. I didn't get a single reply. Ought we to include Vice Presidents? 1. George Washington (Independent) 1789 - 1797 2. John Adams (Federalist) 1797-1805

Chester Arthur was James Garfield lite, which should say a lot about the man. Over the course of eight months, Garfield managed to unite the bickering factions of the Republican Party into a force to be reckoned with. The culmination of this was the resignation of his Congressional opposition...

Cross-posting this from the 1872 Election Thread: Just so everyone is aware, James Black's platforms are as follows: 1.) National Prohibition (although looking through some biographies, the man himself seems more in favor of temperance than full on prohibition) 2.) Universal Suffrage...

Just so everyone is aware, James Black's platforms are as follows: 1.) National Prohibition (although looking through some biographies, the man himself seems more in favor of temperance than full on prohibition) 2.) Universal Suffrage, particularly that of women 3.) Child Labor Laws

Thomas Jefferson finished in third in the Electoral Vote, 1800 thread. This means that the third Vice President of the United States is Pickney. Thank God. I'm also thoroughly disappointed that no one wanted to turn 198- into a constitutional crisis.

And I applaud you for it. Really I do. Had David McReynolds and Sr. Diane Drufenbrock achieved enough votes OTL, I would have done the same if only to get a gay man and communist Catholic nun/ school teacher elected to high office.

Any faithless elector would be torn apart by the media, by the Congress and by the people themselves. It would be a massacre the likes of which we have never seen. No one else vote!
