The left-wing of the Progressives are going to realize Roosevelt saw them more as an extension of the Republicans and a vehicle for his own beliefs. I predict a mass disillusionment among the LaFollette types and rank-and-file.

Frick OTL dies of a heart attack in 1919, which is implied to be the year the revolution starts. That could mean the spark that ignited the revolution is his succession crisis if he goes full dictator. I hope he actually lives long enough to see everything collapse around him and get his...

There were Black officers under Benjamin Butler in Louisiana(although many of them tended to be on the lighter side of mixed). Banks gradually had them all purged when he replaced Butler. Speaking of Butler, in 1864 Lincoln allegedly asked him to be his Vice Presidential candidate but Butler...

Cool, I was just thinking that now that the North has started to think about the war more in terms of a Holy Crusade, that there would be interest in a group of Black singers raising money 'For The Troops/Former Slaves' by singing traditional slave songs. There was a brief craze for them...

Congratulations! I’m just starting the school term here. I absolutely love your TL, with everything else going on it’s nice imagining a more “optimistic” (in the long-term) history. The Highwater Mark of the Confederacy came a few months early, but at this point they still have a more...

Dang. how do I delete a thread.

Thanks. :D Also, I didn't realize just when they called for British backup yet, since your timeline jumps dates so often I find myself wondering which events have already happened and which are in the future.:confused: I said that stuff about Canada because it was actually a pretty close run...

For Polish, if you want to go semi-ASB you could have Casimir Pulaski survive the Revolution and convince other Poles to come to America and escape Russian tyranny. Plus, having Pulaski survive would be interesting in itself: stronger American cavalry, and maybe America has some problems with...

After the Revolution there were so many German speakers that there was a motion to translate the Constitution, laws, ect., into German. If that had happened I could see German sticking around longer as a major language, eventually mixing with English. If either of the Canadian invasions worked...

I really hope the example of the Blue Sticks, Tecumseh's Shawnee and and this seemingly new confederation allying with the US means the Natives have a happier ending. Indian states maybe, or (unlikely) independent nations. Also, about the War of 1814, the US invasion of Canada could be...
