Hey guys, I'm new to this forum, but I wanted to show you a timeline I've been working on.

POD: Benedict Arnold was not passed over for promotion by the Continental Congress. He, elated at his success, continued to lead the United States to victory. This was especially evident when he discovered a British plot in 1779 to corrupt American generals, and managed to break up the plot before its conclusion. America wins the war with a much larger army, and a boosted economy and navy as well.
Constitution as OTl, except a rule calling for military intervention in America if a European invades (an early Monroe Doctrine)
George Washington elected first president of the US, as in OTL. Term goes as OTL.
The timeline's significant POD begins when Thomas Jefferson, flush with success from the Louisiana purchase, begins to build up a navy, and passes reform bills developing infrastructure in the United States in 1805. The Road and Population Reform acts are widely applauded, and the country's growth takes an early lead.
