I was learning about living American cultures such as the Gullahs, the Texas Germans, Louisiana French people and so on, and had an idea. I challenge the site-goers to envision, as best they can, a prolonged, migratory contact between the Old World and the New, at any point in history they desire, that minimizes the amount of genocide and violent colonialism as possible without necessarily precluding the possibility of migrants establishing settlements and trading with the natives. Ideally the point of divergence would be earlier than 1492 or, perhaps, envisioned as part of a history where the Old World has changed enough that the transfer of people and the mobilization of imperialism is much slower than OTL.
