    The Spirit of Revolution: The Expanded Universe of AMPU

    American history is, for a nation not yet three centuries old, a long, storied, and epic procession. It's many times the stuff of legend, the modern day reimagining of the myths of the Old World overlaid on the frontiers and wilderness of North America. With so many exciting events and...
  2. What if the Whiskey Rebellion succeeded?

    I was thinking there was a timeline where the Whiskey Rebellion succeeded, but not sure what or where it was. Anyway, I will ask that question. What if the Whiskey Rebellion succeeded?

    Question about the American Revolution

    As an American and a student of American history, I like to think that I have a pretty good grasp on the course of the American Revolutionary War. However, one thing came to mind recently.

    Discussion on a Failed American Revolution

    I know that this has been talked about many times before on this site. But the question I want to put forward is: What is the future of the American Colonies after a failed revolution? Namely, are the British harsh or gentle post-war? What happens to prominent revolutionaries like Washington...

    Looking for a Book where Benedict Arnold is the leader of the American revolution.

    I remember hearing about a book where Benedict Arnold is the leader of the American Revolution with Washington as the British commander. From how I remember it being subscribed it was from their two perspectives over the course of the war. If anyone could help me it would be appreciated

    AHC/WI: Patriots win the American Revolutionary War without gaining independence

    Generally speaking, timelines that see the Thirteen Colonies remain loyal to Great Britain fall under one of two categories: scenarios where the Revolutionary War is entirely avoided before hostilities break out, and scenarios where the American Patriots are crushed by the Loyalists and the...

  10. The World Without Watergate: A New American Revolution?

    What if the Watergate burglars were never caught? Arguably one of the biggest political scandals in American history, the product of a so-called "third-rate burglary," brought down a President, inspired a new era of distrust in government, and changed the course of this nation's history. But...

    DBWI: What if the Slave Revolution of 1859 didnt happen?

    The Slave revolution started when John Brown raided the federal armory at harper's ferry.

This eventually led to a revolt of most of the slaves in the...

  14. WI: No Georgia or Carolinas due to Anti-Slavery Clause

    What if Georgia and the Carolinas did not participate in the American Revolution (in this case, because Jefferson's Anti-Slavery Clause in the Declaration of Independence passes?) Could the British Army still have lost the war? How would it have affected U.S. and British history afterwards?
  15. WI: The British cut off the Charlestown Neck

    While the British won the Battle of Bunker Hill, it was very much a Pyrrhic victory for them. But it didn't necessarily have to be that way. In the lead-up to the battle, Henry Clinton pushed for securing the Charlestown Neck to cut off the colonists' retreat. However, he was outvoted by his...

    What if the EIC supported the United States in the Revolution?

    ...for a number of reasons, the most interesting of which IMO is that many Americans saw the EIC as a potential powerful ally in the American Revolutionary War and the flag was therefore used to endorse the EIC. Obviously, it would take much more than adopting a similar flag to get the EIC to...
