  11. Alternative Battle of Hampton Roads

    This is covered in generalities in other threads but having finished reading William Roberts’ USS New Ironsides in the Civil War I draw these two paragraphs out for your attention: ‘The demonstrated offensive and seagoing superiority of the New Ironsides type offers tantalizing “what-ifs.”...

  12. WI US Presidents served a single six year term

    This is a challenge of sorts and it probably gets a little complicated. Inspired by another thread WI at the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention the Founding Fathers negotiated and settled on the idea that the President would serve a single six year term? Who would follow Washington's...

  13. Wars of American Unification - 1860s US a la Turtledove

    I've been reading a interesting book about The South (ie. Dixie) and its gotten me thinking about a few possible WIs. One of them would be a revision (reimaginaneering(?)) of a previous ATL that I posted much earlier. 1. WI the Northern colonies had remained loyal to Britain and the...
