Hello everyone. My name is Chaough (pronounced "chaw" if you're curious

). I have been lurking this website for the better part of two years, and have gained a rather good understanding of alternate history.
Anyways, this is my first major attempt at alternate history.
A God Amongst Men is a semi-character driven narrative about an alternate Abraham Lincoln, where due to a series of developments in the 1840s, his political views shift significantly. This is intended to be a multi-part series, and I have already finished Part I and am working on Part II. If you've seen this story before, it's because I originally published it on nationstates.net, as I originally came up with the idea for
A God Amongst Men while thinking of a cool concept for an alternate America. After this, I published this to therightstuff.biz forums (they're invite-only however, so not accessible unless you have an account there).
Now, after some tinkering, I feel like my story is ready to be judged by the experts.
Disclaimer: I have lurked here for awhile and know some famous stories quite well. This timeline is inspired by
@Napoleon53's
What Madness Is This? (probably my favorite timeline here), although neither as extreme nor filled with psychotic characters (relax there is no Charles Oswald nor Joe Steele

). Other creative inspirations include the 2002 movie
Gangs of New York, the video game
Bioshock: Infinite, the 2016 presidential election, and my own experiences in a college fraternity.
Thank you, and enjoy!
