  1. WI California Natives Develop Agriculture ~3000 BCE

    Don't forget the Salinas Valley, "the salad bowl of the world", one of the most productive agriculture areas in the US if not the world. Lots of oaks for acorns, wild cress, mushrooms, miners lettuce, elderberries (not sure if they are native), pine nuts, wild mustard, wild fennel, prickly...

  2. Would you have lasted in 1983?

    In 1983 I was 43 living on Twin Peaks in San Francisco with a view of NAS Alameda across the Bay. I would be toast. I remember sometime in the 80's an aircraft carrier (I think the Carl Vinson) went aground in the Bay. I think it was there for most of a day. The San Francisco Bay Area would...

  3. WI/AHC: The Colony of West Florida joins the American Revolution?

    Yhah - you are correct. Too early and before my first cup of coffee. Don't know what I was thinking. Thank You, MrBill

  4. WI/AHC: The Colony of West Florida joins the American Revolution?

    I'm a little confused. You state (correctly) that the 13 colonies were divided 7 slave to 6 free states. How does adding another slave state even things to 7 & 7 wouldn't it be 8 to 6? Thank you, MrBill

  5. What if the Right of Secession had been made explicitly and clearly legal in the U.S. constitution?

    FALSE - Have you read any of the secession legislation that passed by the states that formed the CSA? If not, I suggest that you read them. Thank You, MrBill

  6. Church Taxation by Government...How?

    I think that all property owned by any religious organization should pay basic tax for fire, police, streets, etc. They use those services and should pay for them and any business owned by any religious organization should also pay taxes that any other business has to pay including income taxes...

  7. Roman Fleet stranded on the shores of the New World massive Storm

    I'm just curious about how large the fleet would have to be to carry 3 or 4 legions and how many of those ships would survive, it any. What is the capacity of the various types of vessels being discussed? Thank You, MrBill

  8. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Nice update - A couple of observations. It looks like this war is becoming more prolonged and more expensive than the British Government expected. Will their finances be stretched to the point that is becomes politically expensive to the party in power? I've been expecting some sort of...

  9. Lone Star Republic

    You've got MD in there twice one of them should be DE. I like the map a lot. Thank You, MrBill

  10. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    The British now occupy Portland, Maine. What is the current population in the British occupied area? Civilians, American POWs, battle ready British troops, sick/injured British troops, others. The reason I ask is that now the British must ship in food and other supplies for all those people...

  11. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    I've been following the TL for some time and just got caught up again. Very good and very interesting. I would think that there would be a surge of patriotic feeling in the north when the British first attack Americans on American soil. I don't remember any discussion about this, but I might...

  12. A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    KNI - I just finished the TL and enjoyed it very much. I can't believe the amount of detail you researched and included in the TL. Very good writing, minimal typos, grammar errors and very little detection of Handwaivium and Unobtainium. In the middle of the TL you were able to color code...

  13. What if the Americas weren't discovered till at least the 1800s?

    If you are going to start a thread, please put a little more thought to it. The question is so broad that there can be many interpretations as is shown in some of the above responses. Did you mean discovery by Europeans or by any humans at all? That is why you need in include some dialogue to...

  14. Voting: Victory of the USSR in the Cold War - American Party System

    That's "Lose" and "Losing" "Lose" - To be deprived of something. "Losing" - To lose something. "Loose" - Not firmly fixed. "Loosing" - making something more loose Thank you, MrBill

  15. AHC: Barry Goldwater becomes president

    I did vote for Goldwater. See my sig. Thank you, MrBill

  16. Alternate US Regional Names

    Don't forget the Left Coast. Thank you, MrBill

  17. Plausibility Check: Post ACW Congressional Apportionment Amendment

    I don't understand this statement. If no other state changes anything you should improve you percentage of representatives. Math experiment: For simplicity, say the total voting population of the union is 10,000,000. Assume all are male. Say 50% voting turnout, 5,000,000 people voted. Your...

  18. Embrace the SUCK: Skallagrim's Unexpurgated Colour Key

    Does anyone creating these color schemes think about those of us that are colorblind? Most of the maps I see on the various forums are a blur of various shades that look almost the same to me. Maps should be made only with primary colors, crosshatching and other devices that enable the user...

  19. WI: California War for Independence After Successful Southern Secession

    What would be the motivation for such a move. The population of California was mostly Anglo, there were no movements for independence in California at that time, unless you go ABS. Thank you, MrBill

  20. The Confederacy "pulls a Meiji"

    I don't think you can feed, clothe and feed the slaves for nothing. Thank you, MrBill
