    A New Coat of Arms Thread

    Does anyone here do requests or commissions? I'd really like a coat of arms doing for a group I'm a part of here in Florence. If so, PM me for details? Many Thanks, S+K

    WI Washington was killed at Princeton

    This awesome... I think I might be trying to bring reconciliation about quicker than possible - possibly inconceivably quick - however, as mentioned, I should like to have the war over as quick as possible, so that I can then explore what the resulting country looks like. I have a question...

    Part 2: Sun, 5th January, 1777 – Generals Sullivan and Greene withdraw the remaining American force to Bristol. Greene takes command. Captain Leslie sends his letter to his father, having met with Dr Benjamin Rush to negotiate the return of the bodies of Washington and Mercer. Tue, 7th...

    Would that take a more drawn out war, though? I'm looking to get the peace talks and reconciliation on as soon as possible...

    Primary Sources ATL So, my plan is to write a series of letters and military reports to go alongside the TL. This is the first, from Capt. Leslie of the 17th, who I think may become someone to use quite often.

    I'm glad you like it, and no, an outright British victory is not anything I'm interested in, if that's what you mean. I am hoping to reconcile the colonies with Britain in such a dominion manner as you have described.

    I'll certainly look into it, yes.

    WI Washington was killed at Princeton

    A timeline to kick this off Thurs, 26th December, 1776 – Washington catches Johann Rahl’s Hessians, killing 22, and capturing the remainder. Rahl loses his life in this action. Mon, 30th December, 1776 – General Howe’s damning report of the Battle of Trenton, indicating that he believed the...

    Really? I'd always thought it kicked of in the mid '80s.... oh.

    WI Washington was killed at Princeton

    I've been reading into Lord North after you mentioned how he and Germain were (besides Georgie 3) the worst stumbling blocks for the British interests; it seems that North repeatedly looked for excuses to resign. As Chancellor of the Exchequer, a job that North really does not seem to have...

    Thanks - Is it conceivable for the news of the loss at Trenton to reach London long before news of a victory at Princeton? Say if the first report made it in time for one ship, and the next missed it?

    The issue seems to me to be the Tory government - Had the Whigs been in power things would not have made it this far, I don't believe, except for the problem of George III's obstinacy. On a related note - how quickly could news spread from America to London?

    Firstly, I'm not suggesting North resign after Saratoga - we might not have Saratoga occur the same, or at all. I'm asking whether we might find another reason for him to want to resign, at some point in the first months of '77. Secondly, if the British win at Princeton, they have NY and NJ...

    WI Washington was killed at Princeton

    Ok, so it looks that Lord Chatham (Pitt the Elder) was North's preferred option to take over from him when he asked to resign after Saratoga... is there a reason he might want to resign earlier - he certainly seems to have wished to resign several times in this period. With Lord Chatham in...

    WI Washington was killed at Princeton

    If possible I'd rather not simply remove him, but... is a small bout of porphyria possible as early as 1777? The issue is, as much as I like George III, finding him a very interesting individual, his actions towards the Americans were... ill-advised. However, they were better than I reckon most...

    To return to what seems the biggest hindrance to peace talks and, hopefully, reuniting the former colonies with Britain: how to remove Lord North?

    WI Washington was killed at Princeton

    From what I know of George III, he was quite a family man... was North the sort to have affairs? Would that be enough to cause some sort of rift between him and the king? I should really like for him to be replaced by Rockingham, 5 years earlier than OTL...

    I think that I should like to see an America still under a British flag, but with representation in London. How do we negate North?
