  1. Successful Huguenot Carolina Colony/Country

    So it's 1563 and the efforts of Coligny are not in vain, the colony has survived and will continue to do so. So let's just say that Spain either ignores them for now, or the colonists fend them with with superior leadership and skill. Now the challenge is growth and expansion for Charlestown...
  2. AHC: United Dakota and United Carolina

    With a PoD after 1776 but before 1900, make North and South Carolina/North Dakota and South Dakota become a single state. Bonus if you can unite both of the aforementioned states in one single TL/scenario. Go!

    WI: Spanish Florida expands to encompass all of the Deep South?

Ribault sailed back for supplies, however, was...
  6. What If no Charleston shooting?

    As we all know well, the controversy over Confederate statues and the battle flag still continues we know this thanks to some idiot named Dylan Roof who thought it would be a great idea to kill black people at a black church in Charleston, South Carolina (same city where the first shots of the...
  7. AHC/WI: North & South Carolina recombine

    I posted a similar thread a few weeks ago but I figured I'd start afresh. Sorry if the premise is too familiar. With a POD of 1783, what possible avenues could lead to North and South Carolina recombining, either in the colonial pre-ratification era or anytime afterwards, maybe Reconstruction...
  8. PC: South Carolina's statehood dissolved?

    Hello all. I'm still preparing the details for my finished Fringe alternate universe scenario coming in the next few months. In the meantime, here's another off-the-wall scenario for the board to consider: with a POD after 1783, is there a possibility that South Carolina's statehood could be...
