    AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    It seems that what I'm saying and what your taking from it are miles apart. But ok what part of having a POD set back far enough in time would allow slavery to be culturally ingrained in the south? Because for the life of me I don't see where you get that idea. Slavey did survive because it made...

    Behold, the sequel to my Proposed States of America Quarter-BAM. Now includes: Greater Idaho, South Utah, Navajo, Trans-Pecos, Vandalia, Nickajack, West Florida, Nantucket, North Virginia, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Guam, Northern Marianas, American Samoa, two Texas partition plans, and...

    Galloway and the Plan of Union: A Saga of a British America

    I doubt the Spanish could hold onto anything north of at most the Arkansas River long-term. Too many Gringos and not enough Spaniards.
  5. WI: Japan don't attack Philippines/Hawaii in 1941: how does US react

    The US isn't in the Pacific to own square miles of ocean. They are there for the same reasons Europeans have always come to the Pacific. To facilitate trade with East Asia. The European powers were happy to let the US play in their spheres of influence, and when they fell back the US was happy...

    Oh right. Thanks for correcting me.
  7. Best President USA never had (19th century edition)

    The OP explicitly excluded Bryan because the election was not that close, and Weaver was a third party candidate with no path to election. I'm not aware of any support for Decatur as POTUS. Did you mean John Laurens, since Henry was 68 at his death and John was considered to be a rising star...
  8. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Just a thought experiment.... If roads in the North do not support tanks (and their supply chains), instead of putting yourself in an unsupportable position, why not strategically use the lack of good roads against the invaders? So instead of even attempting to push tanks where they are...
  9. Map Thread XX

    Here's my piece of the 8th Telephone Map Game. I got a map showing a panoply of Mediterranean powers following the collapse of a Carthaginian empire, with (among many other intriguing details) some references to Bantu steel and gold as trade goods. By pulling on that thread I happened to...
  10. A Hippie in the House of Mouse (Jim Henson at Disney, 1980)

    Somehow, I don't think anybody in the studio will think of Aladdin as Imperial Chinese. We could end up with a bit more Seljuk influence though, depending on how much research they do.
  11. Sir John Valentine Carden survives.

    Basicly the plan seems to send a armored birgade to the monastir cap to slow down the otl german thrust from yugoslavia wich is diffrent from otl . The hope is that the germans chase the retreating british mainly for a few days instead of galloping to the passes wich lead back into greece where...
  12. Best accidental president

    Why isn't "Hubert Humphrey (If LBJ died of a heart attack)", one of the choices? Given that Johnson did die from a heart attack at the age of 64 just five years after leaving office, it seems like a reasonable possibility. I picked "Someone else" because I think Humphrey would have made a...
  13. Who could have been the most chaotic, insane and "lost" American president ever if elected?

    Fremont, guided by his wife Jessie, would just be trying to find a path through the chaos and corruption.
  14. WI: Cromwell pulls a Washington

    By 1648, even a much reduced NMA would have been still the largest force of the land, while Continental European powers were still busy fighting each other (France and Spain). Charles simply had no chance, and by escaping once more he forced everyone to conclude that he must die for the war to...

    Hearts of Iron IV "Fictionalization."

    So I recently made the discovery that Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory has a Nazi Argentina joke reference to Martin Bormann as the fifth Golden Ticket is mentioned as having been found in Argentina with a picture of Bormann(Who no one watching the movie recognized and therefore didn't get...
  16. AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    I made a thread a while ago about my idea to nationalize slavery as intermediary step to abolition of it as a way to both assuage economic anxiety of slave owners as well as prepare slaves to not be slaves anymore. People often forget that you can’t just free a person, give them some land and...

    AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    Back on topic, for the Confederacy to avoid secession you need to somehow remove the South Carolina Fire Eaters, or at least marginalize them. Keeping Virginia loyal might also kill secession in the crib.

    Small Steps, Giant Leaps: How (Almost) Every Apollo Astronaut Made it to the Moon

    to clarify, "butterflied" is a relative term. We'll get into it when we reach the 90s, which, rest assured folks, we will, someday.

    AHC: Stop the Confederacy from seceding

    I'm disagreeing with the idea that slavery lived "just because it made money". It was culturally ingrained in the south and merely making it less profitable isn't going to end it. You're far too optimistic.

    Maybe, with the army disbanded, he would get away this time?
