  1. AHC: The South wins the Civil War.....and Lincoln still gets reelected

    Every Confederate victory TL I've ever seen has had Lincoln going down to ignominious defeat in the 1864 election if he even bothers to run. Is there any plausible way Lincoln can win the election despite leading to Union to defeat?

  2. Are the Draka books worth reading?

    After spending more than a decade on this site, I've inevitably heard a lot about SM Stirling's evil slavocrat empire of edgy pseudo-Nietzschean Nazi-Confederate-Afrikaners that everyone loves to hate. What I want to know is if the series of novels they come from are...

    Garret Hobart was William McKinley's first vice-president. He died of heart disease in 1899, leading to Teddy Roosevelt replacing him as VP and becoming President when McKinley was killed. Now let's say that Hobart has better heart health. Assuming he's renominated in 1900 and the McKinley...

  9. Most powerful possible Mexico with a POD after 1850?

    What scenarios I've seen here about a more powerful Mexico seem to involve them never losing what's now the southwest US. What's the best they could conceivably do once the loss of territory is already a done deal?

    The now obscure Garret Hobart was William McKinley's first Vice President.
