151 Years: The World Changes, A Collabrative TL

This is a Collaborative TL, basically, in this world, the South does not form the Confederate States of America, and PODs begin on 1.1.1861. What happens is your call. Although, I would like Heavenly Kingdom China and Napoleonic France to survive, although if you can come up with a good reason for them not to, then go ahead and destroy them. Also, I took alot from Wikipedia to get this started.

  • January 9 – Mississippi becomes the second state to secede from the Union.
  • January 10 – Florida secedes from the Union.
  • January 10 - Delaware narrowly votes not to secede.
  • January 11 – Alabama secedes from the Union.
  • January 19 – Georgia secedes from the Union.
  • January 26 – Louisiana secedes from the Union.
  • February 1 – Texas votes to secede from the Union, however, many oppose it and an instate civil war begins.
  • February 4 - A Congress of representatives from the Seceded Southern Republics meet, they do not agree on anything but a mutual alliance of republics against the United States.
  • April 17 – The state of Virginia secedes from the Union.
  • April 20 – Robert E. Lee resigns his commission in the United States Army in order to command the forces of the of Virginian Republic.
  • April 27 – Countys in Western Virginia vote to secede from Virginia.
  • May 6 – Arkansas secedes from the Union.
  • May 6 - Taiping Forces begin a long march on Shandong.
  • May 7 – Tennessee secedes from the Union.
  • March 21 - The Kingdom of Italy is proclaimed, its capitol is Turin.

I honestly doubt Virginia would've seceded if the OTL Confederacy was just a number of fledgling republics. It almost didn't IOTL, and that would probably just lead to it staying in the Union.
