I'm excited, I hope its soon:D

i like this i'd like more

Lincoln suspended Habeas Corpus during the Civil War, so executive orders are certainly possible. Please keep writing I'm fascinated with this.

what if TR just doesn't get sick or is doing something else? you know Butterflies

I've never written a TL before but I'd like to try and Hamilton was the basis for my senior thesis so i'd appreciate the help and any tips, if the offers for real I'll take since i don't really know where to start

pretty interesting, where'd u get the info on Henry Anthony?

Yea I did Shay's rebellion, shays rebellion was about pay. I'd say Adams further centralizes the government and definitly buys CUBA in 1824 assuming most everything goes like OTL. I'd say strong armed forces and definite western expansion and a negotiated end to slavery with Adams as...

Shays rebellion was a reaction to Hamilton's Excise Taxes that he shoved through congress in 1792. The Tax was caused by the Report on Public Credit being met with such a great reception in Congress. I think an earlier POD is needed. I think that some people need to die in order for this to work...

TTL I didn't want to use the Mexican war (although William Walker could be interesting) for several reasons, race relations in a pre civil war america were not condusive to the incorporation of mexico into the union, I didn't want to do a time line with slavery still involved, and its my first...

Roosevelt was an emotional guy who could do exactly what he felt like. Fitting that character trait into the equation a situation like the one above is possible, I'm not saying direct invovlment in civil rights but he might desegregate the army or he could go the other way and create colonial...

I don't think that Hamilton was bargaining for the Constitution that he got. I don't think he wanted the allowances for slavery that were granted (3/4ths, 1808 end of slave trade, etc) more or less on the priniciple that competition is best and you shouldn't prop up something that isn't...

The party wouldn't split because Hamilton has no impetus to get the Adamas cabinet to spy for him while their wouldn't be a reconciliation they wouldn't destroy the Federalist Party. who follows Adams? Hamilton vs. Jefferson in 1804?

WI the old royal colonial postmaster, Ben Franklin, aged diplomat enmored with a young ego, reestablished a network of postal delivery in 1786 allowing Hamilton, James Madison, John Jay to write and distribute the Federalist Papers on a much wider scale than previously possible. granted POD...

Well if the Platt amendment isn't voted into law then the annexation of Cuba is possible and it allows the direct annexation of Puerto Rico, Phillipines, Guam, etc. I was envisioning TR's interview kicking off two different events, shaking up race relations and providing political cover for a...

don't forget the socialists no Red Scare in 1919, this means Debs can actually run and not be in a jail cell. Additionally, Working class WASPs could become disillusioned because we lost WW1 (I bet they wouldn't vote Democratic) combine that with Republican establishment's closeness to big...

The title is confusing so let me clarify, This is my first attempt at a thread so excuse the holes and I will try to fill them if at all possible.:) I was thinking a POD around the End of the Spanish-American War, and instead of the Platt amendment passing, it is narrowly rejected, most of the...

I did my senior thesis on the Hamilton's influence on american politics. His biggest fear was not the establishment but oddly enough he was worried that the common people were just too gulible to be trusted with voting. While this point may have merit (think George W. Bush, Reagan) the plans...

Sherman is a definite possiblity but he really didn't like politics and I remember Winfield Scott Hancock making a ballot appearance in the 1870s? I'd think that the candidates would party carpet baggers, think Chester A. Arthur but with the corruption. particularly in the '73 election at that...

If the British mass armies come from the territorial system (which I don't remember from my WW1 studies) I would imagine that this would change the colonial situation in a insane way possibly with a more expansive Commonwealth encompassing more than just the White Dominions (Rhodesia, Australia...

I think Washington would have to be POTUS 4 Life, he was the best candidate due mainly to Franklin's age and ill health. Jefferson would have a role most likely as Foreign Minister because he would still insist on the Bill of Rights and Hamilton would be in the finance or war dept. Slavery is...
