  1. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    There was a very fragile political balance between the three counties of Delaware. It definitely would've been disturbed during the war, but I'm not sure they'd want more voters.

  2. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Yeah, me too! I tried writing a "more successful John Brown" timeline myself, but I got bogged down trying to decide how I wanted the election of 1860 to go.

  3. WI: Current US constitution was proposed in 1787?

    That said, the Baptists were a lower-class, more radical denomination circa 1800.

  4. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Yeah, I know. I joined the Board a little after that era, while robertp6165 was still writing. The quality of TL writing has gone up since then.

  5. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Just looked it up; thanks for the reference - Go South, Young Man: President Abraham Lincoln, CSA, by robertp6165. It looks pretty skeletal, like many timelines from that era, and not the most plausible.

  6. WI: Current US constitution was proposed in 1787?

    A lot of them wouldn't; it was very split. That was true in the 1840's North, but I'm not sure that was the case in the 1780's. Then, a lot of people were ideologically against slavery, because they'd just gained independence on the back of mountains of rhetoric for liberty and against...

  7. WI: Current US constitution was proposed in 1787?

    As @Rhymehouse says, the Bill of Rights, Eleventh Amendment, and Twenty-Seventh Amendment can pretty definitely pass without any problems beyond those the OTL Constitution had. The Twelfth Amendment would require a new view of the Vice-Presidency, but I think it could get through too. The...

  8. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    Hurrah for a new thread, and the promise of a better Reconstruction! Technically not inaccurate! But yes, surely very, very far over one hundred.

  9. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    One of the Republican campaign slogans in the OTL 1856 election was to tear down the "twin relics of barbarism: Slavery and Polygamy."

  10. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    It's named after the town of Atchison, Kansas, so at one remove from the man. Hope that helps.

  11. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    That would depend on future nationalism and alliances. IOTL, the German language in the US wasn't killed till WWI.

  12. King Theodore's Corsica

    1775 IOTL, actually. But as you suggest, it became bigger and broader-scale over time. Though you're right, butterflies could've caused just about anything to happen.

  13. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    There wasn't a great battle IOTL either. There was Lee's evacuation from the lines around Richmond, and then one fight around Appomattox. What we got IOTL was the momentous moment of Lee's surrender to Grant, then followed up by Johnson's surrender to Sherman. They were inherently...

  14. The Anglo/American - Nazi War - The on-going mystery

    Alternatively: ISOT Western Alaska, alone, to OTL. For perhaps the most interesting results, do it sometime during the OTL Cold War.

  15. SCOTUS member Ward Hunt motivates U.S. Congress to better solve disability prior to Woodrow Wilson’s 1919 stroke ? ? ?

    For SCOTUS, a statute could do it, because the Constitution doesn't specify a size for SCOTUS. Congress can add a new justice by statute whenever it wants, or it can pass a statute saying that two-thirds of the Court or whoever else can trigger adding a new justice. (I think the size should be...

  16. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    I'm surprised that the '62-'63 House elections didn't have anyone from Tennessee or Louisiana when the '60-'61 elections did. Also surprised at the Senate elections showing a Senator from North Carolina. Are those described somewhere in the text that I forgot about?

  17. Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    I like the "elected by the rump legislature" plan. It'd be similar to how, IOTL, the Restored Government of Virginia chose Senators for the 37th and 38th Congresses. IOTL, no Senator or Representative has had his term extended (more than a few hours, and even then it was with the figleaf of...

  18. WI United 175 on 9/11 collided with another plane midair before hitting the WTC?

    While reading an excellent and dramatic book on 9/11 (Touching History by Lynn Spencer), I learned about an interesting footnote about that morning which I immediately thought of as a potential PoD. At 9:01 AM, while the hijackers were piloting their second plane (United 175) over New York City...

  19. Had the radical Republicans had more control over reconstruction would we have seen a "de-confederation" akin to Denazification?

    And what I was saying is that, in that pre-Fourteenth-Amendment era, it would not violate the First Amendment for state governments to do it. It does now because the OTL Fourteenth Amendment incorporates the First Amendment against the states. I don't think banning Confederate symbols would be...

  20. Had the radical Republicans had more control over reconstruction would we have seen a "de-confederation" akin to Denazification?

    It was @Malone , not me, who initially proposed this idea. But what I'm saying is that having the reconstructed states ban private citizens from displaying Confederate symbolism is, legally speaking, entirely possible in that era.
