On July 4, 1776, a document was adopted by 56 delegates of the Second Continental Congress, who were convened at the Pennsylvania State House (renamed Independence Hall), known as the Declaration of Independence. With its signing, the 56 delegates cemented their legacy as the Founding Fathers of...

Hello everybody! This is one of my first timelines that I am making (excluding some certain attempts in the past.) This TL is gonna be about the US of A. However, I'm not going to spoil anything about this TL. As I don't want to promise much, I'll say that I'll post probably every few days...

I decided to make a thread like this because I was investigating such a thing on this website, and found a general lack of threads on the topic. I believe George Washington was keen on the idea of establishing a national university, and thus my POD will come about around that time. The premise...

The battle is still an american victory, however Commander-in-Chief George Washington passes away. Who assumes power? What do you think happens?

Despite being a non-partisan man, George Washington's political views were largely in line with that of the Federalist Party, which favored a strong federal government, protectionism, industrialization and friendly relations with Britain. So what if his views are more similar to that of the...

Okay, so as an American, I have always considered our country's greatest foundational hypocrisy to be slavery. I consider the Native American Genocide to be the greater crime, but slavery is our greatest hypocrisy. Now, I don't want to go into a rant about it, but I don't really feel like I...

Hello! My name is AlecFanatic and I’m going to be attempting a AH fictionalization of Alexander Hamilton’s life. I'll be starting from his journey to America as a 17 year old and finishing with Hamilton as President. I’m going to be aligning as closely as possible with all available records and...

I just came up with a fun idea. What if the George Washington is somehow installed King in the South while Prince Henry of Prussia is installed installed King in the North preventing the United States from ever forming? The North has New England, Vermont, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and...

I was wondering today about what could have happened if George Washington died in the middle of the Revolutionary War in the autumn of 1779. The rebels had already received aid from the French and Spanish, however on the other hand the British were gaining ground in the South and the winter of...

1789: George Washington becomes emperor of America after pressure from his supporters, especially Alexander Hamilton, washington's first decision after the coronation to deal with the rebellion of free American forces that grew at the expense of the weakness of the Confederate state of America...

So, I was watching Drunk History and reading the Alexander Hamilton wikipedia page to verify what I had heard and found that Alexander Hamilton and James Monroe could have almost come to blows in relation to the Reynolds Affair (the below quote is taken from Alexander Hamilton's wikipedia page...

Something not many people are aware of is that George Washington very nearly joined the Royal Navy. Only his mother begging him to stay convinced him not to take his appointment as a midshipman. There are a lot of jokes to be made comparing this to Luke Skywalker wanting to enroll in the...

I admit this may or may not be very probable for a number of reasons, but i'm interested to see if this has previously been discussed and/or what people can come up with. Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, known simply as Lafayette in the United States, was a French aristocrat and...

Did you know that the Queen of England is a descendent of the Prophet Muhammad? Well, no one knows for sure if it's true, but it's possible. So I was thinking... Who else on history could be, in an alternate TL, an ancestor of Elizabeth II. Obviously, if you change the ancestors, it wouldn't be...

As we all know, George Washington would go on to become known as "the man who saved the empire" when he lead British forces to victory in the Yankee Rebellion. Now what I want to know is, what may have occurred if George Washington had come to sympathize with the rebel cause, and what events in...

I was scrolling through YouTube when I came across a clip from the HBO John Adams miniseries where "John Adams rips Alexander Hamilton a new one," linked below. One line 7 seconds into the clip, spoken by Adams, is that "when the scourge of yellow fever is removed from Philadelphia, the...

I remember hearing about a book where Benedict Arnold is the leader of the American Revolution with Washington as the British commander. From how I remember it being subscribed it was from their two perspectives over the course of the war. If anyone could help me it would be appreciated

Ne’er before had the flames of warfare turned so badly against the British -King George III The Revolution started in Montreal -George Washington He had repeatedly denied the citizens of these fair colonies the Freedom of Religion -Thomas Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence. CHAPTER I...

History can often turn on single events. - A young Lieutenant George Washington almost got himself killed during the French and Indian War. - Benjamin Franklin sailed many times to Paris to gain and maintain royal French support. The British were looking for him at sea. What if he were killed...

Hi all, I've been visiting this site for quite some time and have always been interested in alternate history. One of my favorite periods to think about is the early United States, specifically, when the Articles of Confederation were falling to pieces. I firmly believe that there are numerous...
