  1. New World Chattel Slavery Doesn't Exist

    One of the great tragedies in history is New World chattel slavery where Africans were enslaved by European colonists and made to work plantations from Brazil to the Caribbean to the American south. So basically my question is what would the world look like if New World chattel slavery didn't...

  2. What if the Founders had Actually Amended the Articles of Confederation?

    The original purpose of the constitutional convention was to amend the Articles of Confederation; instead the founders created a new constitution and system of government. My question is, what if they had actually amended the articles of confederation? Could they amend the articles so that the...

  3. Question about Christianity and the year 800 AD

    This is kind of a weird question but its for an idea regarding a story. In a world where Christianity never happens and nothing replaces it and Europe stays pagan would the borders of Europe arrive at something resembling the borders of 800 AD in the same year? What would be the effect of no...

  4. Other Norse Colonies

    During the Viking age of the Middle Ages the Norse from Sweden, Norway, and Denmark sailed in their long ships to new lands and were able to found new Nordic societies like Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe islands, and Vinland. Some of these societies survived such as Iceland and the Faroe Islands...

  5. AHC: An Anglo Saxon Iceland

    The challenge is to instead of having Norwegians settle Iceland have Anglo Saxons settle the island. I don't know if this is an easy challenge or a hard one but the challenge is basically to have Anglo Saxons settle Iceland and have a completely Germanic English speaking population survive to...

  6. Successful William Walker?

    So, I'm sure everyone on this board has heard of William Walker the Southern American from Tennessee who conquered Nicaragua, became president of that country and was later ousted by the rest of the Central American powers. If you aren't here's a Wikipedia article on him...

  7. What if the Southern Colonies had Remained Loyal to the Crown?

    I've heard that the Southern Colonies in what would become the United States during the American Revolution Virginia, Maryland, the Carolinas, and Georgia were more loyalist leaning than the northern colonies. I don't know if this is ASB but what if these colonies stayed loyal to the British...

  8. How long would Slavery Last in a Victorious Confederacy?

    It's interesting to watch people discuss things regarding the Civil War on this site as certain topics seem to come up over and over again and lead to pages of debate over them. One of the topics that keep popping up is the topic of just how long slavery was going to last in a victorious...

  9. What if "Southern Nationalism" was founded during the Early 20th Century

    There is a fringe political ideology today which was founded in 1994 called Southern Nationalism and represented by an organization called the League of the South. It is absolutely repugnant. It is basically a European style ethnic nationalist ideology which sees Anglo Celtic white southerners...

  10. The Confederacy "pulls a Meiji"

    So, in most scenarios where the confederacy somehow wins their independence and survives to the present day it winds up becoming a backwater similar to Latin American countries of our present time. The reasoning is (and is probably solid) that the south was an agrarian slavocracy based on the...

  11. Would things have been better if the Central Powers won WW1?

    World War One wasn't as black and white as the second world war as Germany and its allies weren't stark raving evil as they were with the Nazis in WW2. Germany was basically just a reactionary monarchy who's leader Kaiser Wilhelm was an absolute monarch but to my knowledge not a genocidal...

  12. Different ending to the Battle of Hastings

    Everyone on here knows the story of the battle of Hastings. In 1066 Anglo Saxon England was invaded first by Harald Hadrada King of Norway and then by William the Bastard Duke of Normandy and ruler of the Normans. Harald Hadrada lost the fight but William and the Normans won turning England into...

  13. How to get the Megafuana to Survive

    Don't know if this should be here or ASB and counts as an evolution based topic but I'm putting it here as its grounded in reality (if this isn't the right place I ask it be moved to ASB.) I was reading Guns, Germs, and Steel and at one point in the book the author speculates on why the...

  14. How viable would a plantation slave economy be in the modern world?

    In most of the debates I've seen on whether if the confederacy won the war it would have continued slavery for a long amount of time I've always had this question? Would a plantation style economy where chattel slaves work on an estate in large scale agriculture be a viable economic model, even...

  15. What would it take to keep the 13 colonies divided

    When the 13 colonies of the United States rebelled against the mother country and formed a union which would become the United States they diffed quite a bit culturally. The puritans of the New England colonies differed greatly from the Dutch culture of New York, the Quaker and German culture of...

  16. If you could change one event in history pre 1900

    Basically the question is if you could change one event pre 1900 and make whatever alternate events of that timeline true what would you change? Basically you could create a real alternate history timeline. Me, I would have the Anglo Saxons beat William the Conquerer at Hastings because I think...

  17. Colonies split into three unions

    During the colonial era most observers classified the 13 colonies which would become the United States into three groups, New England with it's Puritan heritage, the middle colonies of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware which were very diverse ethnically and religiously, and the...

  18. Is this possible?

    So, I watched a documentary on Tibet before the Dhali Lama was deposed by the Chinese and it was very interesting. Tibet was basically a feudal medieval state frozen in time do to geographic isolation in the mountains during the industrialized world of the 1950s. My question is my if it is at...

  19. North and South split from the start

    In a lot of timelines in which there is an independent American south the POD is the CSA winning the civil war, but I have an idea for which I would like to know the plausibility and implications of. What if after the American revolutionary war due to the enlightenment principles of all men...

  20. Columbus Sails under Britain

    I read somewhere that before Christopher Columbus approached a couple of other countries before being rejected and finally ended up sailing for Spain and connecting the old world with the new. One of those countries was Britain. What if Britain accepted his offer and Britain discovered the new...
