Lacrosse is by far one of the oldest team sports in North America (United States and Canada) dating back to the Native Americans of pre-Columbian America and Canada where they would often play this game particularly the ones from the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic and the South/Dixie usually as a...

Longboats and Norsemen: A Vinland TL *** Chapter 1 *** Bjarni Herjolfsson was holding onto the sides of the longboat for dear life as the storm hurled waves after waves of water at him and his longboat. The storm whipped up the winds and they came crashing down upon them. His crew members...

As we all know, the War of 1812 was a humiliation for America, and after the White House was burnt to the ground by the British, the Hartford Convention declared independence for New England, which distracted the Americans enough for the British to capture the Great Lakes and the Michigan...

Simple idea: propose a scenario or event which could create a (lasting) independent state between America and British North America *after* the American Revolutionary War. The state must exist at the turn of the century (aka it can lose and later re-attain independence) and must have at least...

This is a simple and basic challenge, find a way to have a native group reach a point where it could feasibly develop an empire on a scale similar to the Aztecs. Whether this is more of an economic scale, or military scale is entirely up to you.

Okay, so if you're an American with a slightly-more-than-passing knowledge of American History, you'll know that New York used to be a Dutch-owned city known as New Amsterdam. What you might not know is that it was part of an at least somewhat larger colony known as New Nederland. Of course...

It's worth dreaming what wasn't, to forget what was. Tons of ideas, and little time to make them. Stories you'd like to explore but don't achieve your goals. There are several alternative stories I have in planning. Although only one I am currently developing but I already have the basis of AH...

Years ago I made this map, of the 44 states of the United States that covered all of North America, Central America and the Caribbean. The map is not exact, contains some errors and is not the desired result. But I would like to hear your views on some of the proposed entities. Especially the...

Found this very bad map of Holumbia [OTL North America] online. Your goal is to explain why the countries or provinces in the north (apparently in in the same country, including that cluster of small provinces in the eastern corner next to the one called Quebec) are so disproportionately big...
