  1. The Whigs in 1836

    So, as I'm sure many of us are aware, the Whigs in the 1836 election attempted to through the election by running two regional candidates (one for the North, one for the South), plus two more state-specific candidates (in Massachusetts and South Carolina). The idea was to deny Van Buren enough...

  5. Virtual JFK: Vietnam if Kennedy Had Lived

    I came across something on Al Franken on the Documentary Channel, and now there's a program on that they calling "counterfactual history", exploring what might have happened had JFK, not Johnson, been involved in Vietnam. It's on right now and just started, so I can't really comment any...

  7. General Washington's Regret

    General Washington's Regret formerly known as The State of Nova Scotia In 1776, Nova Scotia was a frontier colony, not as developed or established as the "Thirteen Colonies" to its south. It had been a French colony, Acadia, until 1758, less than two decades before the Revolution. It is often...

  8. Making History, by Stephen Fry

    So, I stumbled upon something that created a thought process like this: Stephen Fry writes novels? > He wrote an alternate history novel? > I've not read about this on AH.com? Anyway, it's true. Stephen Fry does write novels, and he has written what can easily be called an alternate history...

  9. Jefferson, King George III, and Slavery

    Reviewing Thomas Jefferson's rough draft of the Declaration of Independence, I found a surprise. One of the clauses that was not included in the final draft basically calls King George III out for approving of, or at least not disapproving of, slave markets. The clause reads: "[the] Christian...

    The Wrong Candidate, or Party Politics Clay in '44, not Polk On April 22nd, 1844, President John Tyler writes a letter to Congress declaring his support for the annexation of Texas. Days later, Martin Van Buren, former President and front runner Democratic candidate for the upcoming...

  12. What Would a President Clay do About Slavery?

    So, if President Clay had won the Presidential Election in 1844, what would his plans be for slavery in the United States? He's not interested in Texas, and not really in Oregon either, and he's personally against slavery, but also realizes that pushing too hard may tear the country apart...

  13. Rain in 1960 Illinois and Sun in 2000 Florida

    According to this link*, weather affects voter turnout by an average of 0.8%, which is enough to significantly tilt elections. It goes on to mention that if it had rained in Illinois in 1960, Nixon likely would have beat Kennedy and that if it had been sunny in Florida in 2000, Gore would have...

  14. Division of Texas after the Civil War

    According to the Handbook of Texas, there have been numerous proposals to divide the state. Most weren't seriously considered, except shortly after the Civil War. Based on the descriptions, I put together maps of 4 different proposals. This proposal was introduced in the Texas Constitutional...

  16. The Gore Presidency, 2001-2009

    Just a rough timeline for now, but something that I'd really like to work on sometime in the future. The POD is that Bush's drunk driving arrest gets him into bigger trouble in the public's eyes than it did in OTL, and New Hampshire goes to Gore. POD: Days before the General Election, Carl...

  17. Challenge/Request: Alternate France with PoD of 1792

    To make my TL State of Nova Scotia more interesting as well as more interactive and shared, I'm asking anyone to come up with a TL that gives us an alternate France today with a PoD of no earlier than 1792. You don't have to outline all the way to present day, just enough to cement a truly...

  18. Alternate Names for District of Columbia/Washington

    I'm reviving an old timeline I've previously worked on, one relating to very different early history of the United States. Anyway, I found out that, in 1783, Congress approved the creation of 2 separate capitals, one for the north, and one for the south, since the south would not accept a...

  19. Help Me Out - Alternate House of Representatives

    Okay guys, because I can't figure out the best way on my own, I'm going to try something out. I'm working on my pathetic little TL, State of Nova Scotia, and I'm having difficulties determining how many seats the House of Representatives should have. Keep in mind, the Constitution is a wholly...

  20. WI: Tony Blair's Plane Shot Down

    So, what would have happened when the UK received news that Tony Blair's plane had been shot down after suffering technical malfunctions that did not allow the plane to respond to Israeli demands? http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1211434089886&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull
