  1. Plausability of Constitution that makes all slavery issues a federal question

    My thought for a TL is that the Constitutional Convention has a much bolder hard line anti-slavery faction, which also gains sympathy and some support from Washington. The anti slavery delegates are pragmatic, but are able to negotiate a compromise that allows slave states to count slaves as a...

  2. DBWI - Could the colonial rebellion in 1770s been successful?

    You all know from your history books that back in the 1770s, the Atlantic Seaboard consisted of a number of British colonies that for lamebrained reasons most of us can't relate to today, "declared" their independence and rebelled against Britain. Britain crushed the rebellion, tried and...

  4. Viability of non-slave labor plantation in antebellum South

    A thought I have been toying with for awhile, and GreatScottMarty's indentured servitude thread got me thinking again. Could it have been possible for a man to have set up a cotton plantation in the antebellum South that used wage labor instead of slaves, and that plantation be profitable and...

  5. 1840s-50s immigration to Texas

    While much is made in history books about German immigration to Texas during the antebellum period, it was surprisingly limited. According to the 1860 census, Texas had an overall population of 604,000, having rapidly grown during the 1850s by almost 400k. However, the number of residents who...

  6. If the ACW was averted indefinitetly, how would the Northern states developed?

    Always seems to be much discussion regarding the South/Confederacy if either a civil war is averted or won by the CSA, but not nearly as much speculation of how the Northern states would have developed in the 1860s-1900, had something happened in the years leading up to 1861 that allowed the...

  7. TL involving a quick decisive victory for the Union in the ACW

    We see numerous TLs where the Confederacy wins. And even being a son of the South, any such victory seems a little ASBish to me. But I have not seen a developed timeline showing a quick and decisive Union victory, which is more plausible anyway, and then how the North and South developed after...

  8. AH Challenge: An American Monarchy

    Here is the challenge. Using a DOD between 1720 and 1780 (kudos to whomever can have the latest DOD), the American colonies obtain theie independence from Great Britain, but instead of forming the more perfect union, create a full fledged monarchy, and said monarchy must be in existence by...

  9. Treaty of Versailles not as harsh re: Germany, WWII butterflied away

    Specifically, if WWII is butterflied away, how does this affect the advance of technology, and more specifically, affect the development of nuclear weapons. If someone has already developed a TL with this slant, I would love to see it. If not, What do you think would happen in this ATL?

  10. Challenge - A Europe of Three Simultaneous Empires

    Okay, this is my first post, so don't be too hard on me. I have been lurking around for awhile, and have enjoyed reading the thoughts and ideas of so many of you. And now I would love to read your ideas on this challenge. I am trying to create an alternative Europe roughly existing between...
