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

    I cannot imagine such an ATL surviving in AH.com nowadays. Thankfully. EDIT: Looking over the synopsis of that book, it looks to me like some direct sourcing from "Jubilee" may have been done by some ATLs here in AH.com.

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

    If you want a nightmarish dystopian Confederate Victory ATL, check out 67th Tigers' "Trent Affair". IMVHO, Slavery Apologia positively abounded therein.:mad:

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

    If only i knew how to establish links... I suggest you research "All threads started by" under the name of a long banned member: Paul V McNutt Use "Grant at Gettysburg" for the title. PVM initially started it as a Discussion Group that quickly fell dormant. Not realizing the rules about...

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

    Sadly, I am such a Luddite when it comes to computers that I lack even the basics of knowing how to paste, lift, and even just make threadmarks. After all these years I'm no longer living in a lifestyle that allows me the time every day (or even the occasional day) to re-learn all the critical...

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

    I would hope that my one attempt at an ATL, "Grant at Gettysburg", has withstood the test of time.:'( If nothing else, it was a very rare for its day ATL where the Union did significantly better than OTL.:)

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

    Even if they did, they couldn't have been too successful, considering that Kentucky didn't pass the 13th Amendment until 1976! And even then, only because the scandal of having Lincoln's birthplace STILL having refused to pass the Abolition Amendment had become too much a scandal (on an...

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

    Um, not Cuba. And especially not Canada! :eek: The former would mean war with Spain at a time when the US Navy was most certainly NOT ready to take on a blue-water navy. 1865 =/= 1898.:frown: The latter would mean making war against the premier naval power of the world.🇬🇧 Even if after a very...

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

    My source is my own memory from living through that period. The proposed Equal Rights Amendment was only able to be passed with an unusual sunset clause. Passed through Congress in 1972, the sunset clause deadline for passage activated in 1982. Staunch opposition by housewives (1) is what...

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

    The sad truth of it is as I have pondered the matter is that Benito Juarez at least won't even have the opportunity to hand over troublesome ex-Confederates. AISI, I doubt very much that such people would ever allow themselves to fall into the hands of the armed forces of the Republic of Mexico...

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

    1) :) 2) HEAR-HEAR-HEAR!!!:love: 3) Something sure to poison or foster good relations between the United States and other countries, depending on the circumstances in each country's case. 4) As the John Surratt Case proved, even going to hide in minor countries (the Papal States and Egypt...

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

    I agree about the need to ditch the EC. I just disagree that even ITTL the popular support will exist in the population poor states to support the idea. IOW, said proposed amendment establishing direct population-based elections of the office of POTUS just won't make it politically. Maybe...

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

    Short of a Second Constitutional Convention, I simply cannot see the states agreeing to the passage of what would have to be a plethora of constitutional amendments designed to transform the United States government into a parliamentary system. It would constitute an absolutely unacceptable...

    Nixon acted as a representative for Studebaker, not working as a "used car salesman". He really needed the $$$ in 1963.

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

    Almost anyone would be an improvement.

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

    IIRC Ely Parker was framed for corruption by individuals within the all but universally corrupt Bureau of Indian Affairs itself. I cannot see ANYONE reforming such a rotten-to-the-core organization (in the 19th century, at least) in ANY TL, in TTL or any other!

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

    The problem with that is that you also create lily white states much more radicalized to the extreme far right (Read: Confederate), while destroying any prospects for the Republican Party (even a more conservative wing of said party) in these "Whiter-than-White" constituencies. And without...

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

    Sadly, I suspect the last actual Civil War "veteran" to die will almost certainly be the same kind as was IOTL. Namely, someone who "served" as a six year old Confederate drummer boy in 1865.

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

    Or like Red Square in 1991.

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

    Doesn't that term actually refer to the critics themselves for falsely attacking their enemies for "engaging in partisan activity"? If wiki is to be believed, the origin of the phrase was false. The supposed "bloody shirt waver"-Ben Butler-never waved any shirt at all. The lie was told by the Ku...

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

    IDK, but John Surratt, the sole survivor of Booth's plot to assassinate Lincoln (he fled to Canada), had to fly VERY far indeed in the end. He was found hiding out as a mercenary member of the Pope's Papal States army! He fled to Egypt, but was arrested there and extradited back to the US...
