Alternate American History

Don't give up. Just go back and revise and reissue. It is pretty interesting so far. I think I have two followers of "Laurens Lives." Its not a bout following its about crafting a TL and learning the art form :).

That being said who is John E. Calhoun? I know who John C. Calhoun is and he was born in 1782. So he isn't even eligible for the Presidency for another 12 years.
John E. Colhoun was Calhoun's great uncle or something. One of Colhoun's kids changed their name to Calhoun. I'll try to fix it and continue the story if I have time. This "imperialist America" will end when Hamilton's term ends. BTW, I have no idea how to make a map, so that is why there are no maps of elections and nations.
