    None Lived Better: President Lafayette
    Threadmarks: Chapter 1

    ...American folk hero and one of the greatest defenders of freedom the world has ever seen. One of the most prominent leaders of the American Revolution, his military and administrative genius was critical in securing the new nation’s independence. For a nation he was not born to, he gave...
  2. Latin America w/ alt Cuban Revolution

    So suppose, for the sake of argument, that the years following the overthrow of Batista (so 1959-62) see a very different outcome from OTL* - one where Cuba doesn’t trend toward a single-Party communist dictatorship, see massive escalating tensions with the US, or court the Soviet Union...

    WI: Earlier Cotton Gin, Stronger America

    ...illegal, but this isn't what we're discussing. What if the cotton gin was invented three decades earlier, a year before the American Revolution in 1765. Will the development of mass industrialisation be affected by a massive influx of cotton from the south, creating a larger amount of...
  4. If Britain wins the ARW, what happens to domestic British politics?

    Most discussions of Britain winning the American Revolutionary War tend to focus on the trajectory of the British Empire or how international politics would be affected. But perhaps just as interesting is the impact a British victory would have on politics in the Home Islands. So what would the...
  5. AHC: An Alt-Maoism in a world without a Communist China

    Maoism was a major ideological break with doctrinaire Marxism-Leninism, but also seems inevitable in the sense that an anti-colonial communist was likely to orient a movement around rural peasants instead of industrial workers at some point. An alt-Maoism wouldn't be influenced by Chinese...

    No american revolution, how does the relationship between the crown and the americas evolve?

    Alot of the threads about a British america often focus on the british government and america. Never focus on the crown. If america remains british how will the relationship evolve as we know the americans did go to the monarchy for help before the revolution. So they see some use in the...

    What ifs of the American Revolution

    Plausible ways to prevent the American Revolution or bring it to a quick end with minimal loss of life. What do you think?
  8. Carter-King: The Second American Revolution

    I’m wondering if this scenario has ever been explored. It’s rather utopian. I’d appreciate if anyone would like to brainstorm with me or even make this into a timeline. I’ll consider anything that comes out of this thread as a collaborative effort. The world this is for has already seen major...
  9. American Revolution fails before it begans

    ...clear if they wanted to free all portuguese America or only Minas Gerais, but this conspiration had some similarities with the American Revolution (they were inspired by it, after all), as many members of the Inconfidencia were masons and the most important motivations for the conspiration...
  10. What Would Have An Alexander Hamilton Presidency Have Looked Like?

    Basically what it says in the post. Alexander Hamilton, great founding father, and subject matter for a great Musical, who's potential and drive for the Presidency was for better or worse squandered by both an affair and Aaron Burr's Bullet. If both the affair and his death had never happened...
  11. American revolution PODS

    What are some pods that could change the course of the American revolution? The only pod that is not allowed is that ARW fails and Britain keep control of the colonies. After that any pods of any kind are open
  12. The Croissant Democracy (Would it be possible?)

    ...Now I kind of want to write a scenario like this, but I would like to know if it would be possible. And if it is possible, would they succeed? And how would it effect the American Revolution and the numerous other revolutions afterward?
  13. What if Thomas Paine was executed in France?

    years long lurker, first time poster here. in 1793, Paine was arrested in France on charges of "treason". The most probable reason is that he was seen as too moderate when compared to Robespierre and other Jacobins. While in prison, Paine was working on "The Age of Reason". He was eventually...

    AHC: Ceremonial American Royalty

    I'm sure this has been done to death, but your challenge is to have the USA establish a purely ceremonial American monarchy following independence from Britain. The only rule is that the monarchy cannot be established by someone of non-American background, meaning no European (or otherwise)...

    WI: British Emancipation Proclamation During the American Revolution

    What if the British, or even just a number of British Commanders, freed the slaves of the rebelling American colonies? How would this take place? Would we see it limited to just the areas that were under Patriot control similar to the Union’s EP on Confederate territory? Maybe just retreating...

    A More Perfect Union

    During the Revolutionary War, the Native American tribes of what in our timeline, became the Eastern United States, Ontario and Quebec, were largely split in their support for the British or the Americans. The Iroquois were the only ones who had any kind of support for the Crown among its...
  17. Make the American Revolution happen 100 years later

    I have this a bit of thought, but what if and how would have the American Revolutionary War ended up being delayed a century later? Let's say Britain manages to keep the colonies under control for a long while until the rebellion breaks out as it did before. What is the result?

    What happens to the British Empire after avoiding the American Revolution?

    This is my "part 2" discussion of what would happen to the world if London and the Thirteen Colonies manage to reach an agreement and stave off revolution, with the POD in the late 1760s. Assume something like the Albany Plan and a heavily confederal BNA (British North America, what we're...
  19. A failed American Revolution: Jacob Burckhardt's allohistory

    ...Jacob Burckhardt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Burckhardt as an allohistorian but here he has some thoughts on a failed American Revolution: "To be sure, without foreign aid the Americans would initially have been defeated, but hardly for long. And then, the very fact that they found...

    DBWI: No "Second American Revolution"

    ...in America are preparing celebrations as they do every September 1st, so this has me thinking -- what if there was no "Second American Revolution" (as it was called in the AFPR)? How would the history of the United States, North America, and the world progress after that? Some people (read...
