    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    One good things about the eventual Jix Premiership - He's probably going to promote the development of good roads in Britain and may even work to push a native British automobile industry. Which actually has some very interesting knock-on effects for British history during the mid-century and...

    Plausibility check: Pro slavery putsch instead of Secession in the United States

    I don't think the goal here is to avert the Civil War, but to get a different KIND of Civil War (and, lets be honest - a much more 'traditional' one based on how Civil Wars have often worked through history). And a pro-slavery coup would definitely get a very different American Civil War from...

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    Hey, the 20s ain't the 30s. So, even if they WERE, no one would know ;) And we know from OTL he wasn't afraid to run while ill - so we could see him fulfilling what @Darth_Kiryan talks about.

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    Maybe we get ol Charles A. Lindberg. I think he'll be in the Senate from Minnesota by that point ... The Uppwr Midwest deserves their due by that point - and would be a nice medium point between the two wings of the Democratic Party. Industrial enough to understand and represented the...

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    Yeah ... it never got implemented because he lost reelection before it could be truly implemented (the Wisconsin legislative session where it was voted on was ... a mess). But its a fascinating idea and, to my knowledge, the only time it has ever even been proposed. The "alternative...

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    There have definitely been two brothers serving in the Senate on multiple occassions - but I'm not sure if there have ever been two brothers serving from the same state at the same time. I know Bob Jr. was always worried about loading a ticket with "too much LaFollette" and the impact that...

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    So, I'm somewhat hoping that McClellan wins enough support for his sacrificial run here that he's the Dem's nominee in 1920 - if, for no other reason, than I've never seen a timeline where Jr. actually makes it to the Presideny. Then we can get a Midwesterner (really, any NON-NY candidate) in...

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    Oh, come now - this is ALL part of Vardaman's plan. He's been orchestrating it since before he was even President. Pershing is falling into a finely baited trap, the fool!!!!!!

    What would the name of the Central Confederacy be?

    Perhaps something without Confederate or Confederacy to help differentiate it from the Southern Confederacy. Virginia is officially known as the Commonwealth of Virginia as is Kentucky and Pennsyvania (and, yes, Penn. is unlikely to join - but the OP suggested such a situation, so we can go...

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    I sadly agee that ol Bob LaFollette unning in 1920 is a bit too soon - even if he changes his party, after being disappinted in 191, that's only fur years to build up his credit with the Democratic electorate and not come off as he simply jumped ship because of his own ambitions. 1924 would be...

    Jimmy Two: America in Carter's Second Term

    Loved the update; and its nice to see Organized Labor come out ahead from where they were in OTL (not that they'd recognize it, of course). On a side note - just to be THAT guy - you made a small typo early on when you refer to Robert Poli as Robery Pool, initially. Sorry; blame it on years of...

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    You know, it kind of makes me wonder what WIlson is up to DURING the war. He's too old to be out fighting, even if he had the desire - and even if the University of Virginia didn't cancel most of its classes and programs during the first years of the war (I imagine departments that could be...

    Won't matter. Whatever candidate is from New York will win it *grumbles*

    Miscellaneous <1900 (Alternate) History Thread

    "Until Every Drop of Blood is Repaid" hasn't reached Reconstruction yet, but otherwise it fits the bill of what you're looking for! https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/until-every-drop-of-blood-is-paid-a-more-radical-american-civil-war.451420/ I'd also suggest "A Glorious Union, or...

    AHC: Larger Black Catholic Population

    Thanks for the info!!! I new aout some of it, but not all - have you read Cyprian Davis' work "Black Catholics"? I know that Notre Dame is offering grants to encourage the study of the community, but I find it disgraceful that the last major work on the subject was done in the 90s. I'll look...

    AHC: Larger Black Catholic Population

    Oh, yes indeed. And not only that, but one of the first two orders of African-American nuns was centered in Louisiana (the other was, i believe, in Maryland) I've long had an idea of a timeline focused on Lousiana and one of the threads I want to chase is having a much larger Black Catholic...

    It happens - I randomly blank out on terms and people that I'm studying for my PhD, let alone AH lore! Don't sweat it :)

    AHC: Larger Black Catholic Population

    Apostolic Vicariate! That was it! *shakes head* I'm literally studying this stuff for my PhD and I STILL blank on terms. LOL :D Yup, Ireland's battles with the Easten Catholics was stuff of legend and leaves a bit of a blemish on his reputation; though he couched his arguments less in...

    AHC: Larger Black Catholic Population

    Going to disagree with you on this one. During this time, the Catholic Church in American was wedded to the idea of the ethnic parish which really developed out of the neccesities of the American immigrant experience of the second half of the 19th centuries. Although this idea had begun to...

    AHC: No Split US States

    Hmmm, so the division of North and South Carolina occurred back during the colonial period in 1719. So the POD to secure this is going to have to be back before the Revolutionary War. Naturally, this is going to have a number of important butterflies which could effect the eventual...
