  1. Give Peace Another Chance: The Presidency of Eugene McCarthy

    From Chapter Three, in regards to the California Primary debate: From there, McCarthy performs well enough to win California. Sirhan shoots RFK, but Karl Uecker, a member of his OTL Ambassador Hotel entourage, manages to swat down the pistol before the third and fatal shot hits the Senator...

  2. Give Peace Another Chance: The Presidency of Eugene McCarthy

    Will we be getting much insight into the Special Relationship and the Wilson-McCarthy dynamic down the road? I'd hope that McCarthy will at least try to mend ties with Howard Wilson and the British after how much LBJ put them on watch after Vietnam. Did McCarthy care much for the Brits and...

  3. List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    Rocky Republican Fever Dream: Nixon/Smith 1960 35. Richard M. Nixon, Republican - California, January 20th, 1961 - August 4th, 1967 * def. 1960: Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, Dem. - Texas / Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey, Jr., Dem. - Minnesota; Sen. Harry F. Byrd, Sr., Independent Democrat...

  4. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    I've felt that those plus 1836, 1852, and 1892 could be fun early American third party runs, what with 1836 Whigs running four candidates to throw it to the House, 1856 being the other time an election could've (in my opinion) sparked a civil war; and 1892 as James B. Weaver's best chance for an...

  5. The Campaign Trail Game Has Returned.

    Playing around with the game to get a feel for it and I made 2016 even more cursed than it was. (2020 looms) Not just a Clinton winning a 2000-like victory to get to 279 votes... https://www.americanhistoryusa.com/campaign-trail/game/1486592 2016 U.S. Presidential election in Wisconsin...

  6. The Rise and Fall of the CSA, 1861-1881

    The UFC is more related to the later Banana Wars (1898 to 1934, according to Wikipedia) that necessitated a change in U.S. - Latin America policy that, very long and bloody story short, led to the Good Neighbor policy by FDR. The UFC eventually changed its name to Chiquita, along with its main...

  7. The Rise and Fall of the CSA, 1861-1881

    Any chance for an article on how the CSA gets along with other slaver holdouts such as Brazil? Somewhat related, it'd be cool to see what comes of the theorized Golden Circle or the unfortunately real United Fruit Company.

  8. THE BEATEN PATH: One Bicentennial and Counting

    I love how the 1976 map could reasonably pass for 1920 (only difference being Virginia, New York, Washington, and a third party winning in the Northeast) while four years later we get a far more recognizable map to someone from 1987. Life comes at you fast if you're a late 70s Midwesterner ITTL.

  9. List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    Idk about others, but I do it to shake things up a bit or maintain it when the "Red, R, Reagan" switch came in the '80s and solidified thanks to a certain hundred chads in Florida. Plus it's fun to see American parties in not the usual colors.

  10. List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    The idea is to end the TL with the entire 2020 election going down to a few dozen votes in one or two states, causing massive national protests. Knowing a close election was coming, the Schuette Administration tries to pull a Reichstag. I'd imagine the GOP electors push either their...

  11. List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    Bush and Gore: A Different Late '80s 41. George H. W. Bush, R - Texas, March 5th, 1987 - January 20th, 1989 VP: Jack Kemp, R - New York, May 12th, 1987 - January 20th, 1989 42. Albert "Al" Gore, Jr., D - Tennessee, January 20th, 1989 - January 20th, 1997 VP: Reuben Askew, D - Florida, January...

  12. Give Peace Another Chance: The Presidency of Eugene McCarthy

    Wooooo boy you're absolutely right about the updates being longer than the first go around. Excited to see where it goes!

  13. Alternate Wikipedia Infoboxes V (Do Not Post Current Politics Here)

    This smells so much of RAWN PAWL 2012 nostalgia and I love it! It's unlikely, but I'd be down for a fully fleshed out TL of this.

  14. Give Peace A Chance: The Presidency of Eugene McCarthy

    Regular serialization would be good as long as it doesn't hold you back from research. Whatever floats your boat! The mention of a mystery politico sounds really intriguing, so I'll be the first to guess: 1970s/1980s Miami Mayor Maurice Ferré? Excited to see the redone timeline!

  15. Give Peace A Chance: The Presidency of Eugene McCarthy

    Do we get Percy '72 or Percy '76 if we get a Give Peace a Chance 2? Also if we can suggest titles, maybe Give Peace Another Chance?

  16. Give Peace A Chance: The Presidency of Eugene McCarthy

    Good stuff so far! I'm rooting for Bumpers/Bradley, but I can't help but feel bad for Paul Laxalt and his impossible situation. Are we going to receive another "Where are they Now?" sort of update for the Ford and Carter Administrations?

  17. List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    Riffing off of The Lethargic Lett's Give Peace a Chance, Nofix and Gonzo's No Southern Strategy, and Pericles' A Different Path, I've been working on a mixed cursed and blessed timeline, also featuring a popular New Yorker businessman with a past in television named...Michael Eisner. Also I...

  18. Give Peace A Chance: The Presidency of Eugene McCarthy

    Fantastic TL so far! I have a bit of an out of left field question, but because of the Lockheed Scandal in Japan and their 1982-1983 decline, what would that mean for Tokyo Disneyland? Does Japan turn down a Disney park out of fear of whispers of corruption, or does the new park start, though...

  19. List of Alternate Presidents and PMs II

    Well thanks, my President Eisner list I'm making is gonna look like a riff off of this, haha!

  20. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    Finally finished catching up on this excellent timeline! My main question is how has Ireland holding up? Considering how the British Empire (and the Union as its own entity) is seemingly more vilified ITTL, what became of the Potato Famine and Daniel O'Connell?
