  1. Could an American-style revolution happen in England?

    Was there ever any chance of an uprising in Britain which could have replaced the monarchy with an American-style constitutional republic? Obviously the most likely candidate would be an alternate English Civil War, but was there ever any real chance of this with Cromwell around?

    How would losing the American Revolution affect American gun culture?

    Gun advocates in America often cite the fact that America gained independence with guns and violence. But what if they lost the Revolutionary War, but instead instituted a Canadian-style Confederation in the 1840s? In this world, how would ATL American gun culture fare? Would be less intense, or...
  3. AHC: American Revolution fails but the French Revolution still succeeds?

    As is says on the tin, would it be possible for the American independence movement to fail but the French Revolution to proceed roughly as OTL? Of course the big dilemma is how the French government can spend enough money on the rebellion to bankrupt itself while simultaneously having that well...

    France and the American Revolution

    ...could perhaps have it enshrined in a sort of official agreement/treaty that outlines what France is to expect from a successful American Revolution? Perhaps that the Americans are to pay annual installments of the money owed to France? Or what would France have expected from a successful...

    Latest PoD for a British Victory in the American Revolution

    Exactly what the title says. I'm looking at making a timeline about this but I don't want to use the Battle of Saratoga. It works but it is also very cliche. Thoughts?
  6. If Benedict Arnold Succeeds, Does the American Revolution Collapse?

    Suppose that Benedict Arnold's treasonous plan to betray West Point to the British had succeeded. Does this mean that the British win the Revolutionary War?

    could the American Revolution have failed in 1781?

    so I just finished Andrew Jackson O'Shaughnessy's great book "The Men Who Lost America" and in talking about 1781 he brought up that the Congress was totally broke in 1781, as were the states, that their paper money was viewed as worth less than "oak leafs" (i.e. toilet paper) Virginia was so...

    Effects of a delayed American Revolution?

    ...one stuck in my head fir a while, but it's only now that I'm posting, so bear with me. :o Anyways: We all know about the American Revolution, the one which established the greatest nation on Earth. :p However, it was also the cause of the French Revolution, an event which changed...
  9. Was there ever a chance that the American Revolution would undergo a Jacobin phase?

    As in an absolutely radical period that took revolutionary ideals to their logical extreme.
  10. American Revolution does not suceed - what happens to our accents?

    If the revolution did not suceed and the 13 colonies remained, how would the *american accent evolve? I'm aware that americans and british sounded similar at the time, with the british accent diverging more as non-rhotic pronunciations became the norm after the ARW, however, would this change...

    American Revolution help?

    I'm working on a TL and I was wondering if anyone had any maps showing Clinton's positions in New York City near the end of the war? And, if anyone could, possibly proofread the first couple chapters?
  12. American Revolution averted: do the British expand slavery Westwards?

    It seems to me that the abolitionist movement got an enormous jolt forward due to the American Revolution, but the seeds of it were already growing before it happened. Oglethorpe banned slavery in the initial charter of Georgia, the Somersett decision ruled the thing illegal in England, and...

    WI: Britain crushes the American Revolution but later loses to Napoleon?

    ...on the matter. 1) How would British, European, and American politics/history be affected by the failure of the American Revolution? 2) Assuming that the French Revolution still goes on - the French republicans determining to succeed where the Americans failed - and Napoleon still rises to...
  14. French Canada and a Successful American Revolution

    ...the British keep Guadaloupe and return Canada after the Seven Years War. Presuming this is the case, will there still be an American Revolution? I think that there might well be, and if so, with the French in Canada, it may well be over more quickly. That said, the nascent alt-USA may not...
  15. American Revolution AHC: More loyalist North, more rebellious South.

    We all know the story, right? During the American Revolution, the northern colonies were the ones that were home to the most support for the Patriots, whereas the South, originally, tended to lean more Loyalist during the first half of the war(though Virginia was pretty deeply divided, and the...
  16. Would There Still Be An American Revolution If France Still Held Parts of Canada?

    Could the American Revolution still be pulled off even if France still held places in Canada (French America above the Ohio Country; basically French Canada still borders OTL U.S.-Canada borders and has lands like Ontario and west of that)? Or would the colonists rather suck it up to prevent the...
  17. Effect of an averted American Revolution on the abolition of slavery

    ...title, if someone can come up with a better one I'll change it) So, despite what the schoolbooks say the outbreak of the American Revolution wasn't a sure thing; there were plenty of opportunities, before and after the war broke out, for the colonies to reconcile with Britain and become...
  18. Australia if Britain wins the American Revolution

    ...ground for convicts, since the newly formed United States was not interested in accepting them. So what if there was no American Revolution, or a British victory, and thus the American colonies remain a viable option to send criminals to? How would Australia develop without the First Fleet...

    American Counter Revolution?

    This is an OTL discussion. Ok so. I just had an idea which I am going to look more into and think of writing some things on. I really like it. So, was there a "Counter Revolution" after the ARW? Or were the forces that would have directed the Counter Revolutionary effort redirected into...

    WI: American Revolution After Abolition of Slavery?

    Conditional on this is that the American Revolution cannot be a revolt to preserve slavery a la the Texas Revolution/Civil War. How does this impact the development of the United States? How would this be brought about? Would Britain, after an initial American Revolution, emancipate all slaves...
