Ok so I was reading "The Dead Skunk" by Lycaon Pictus and coupled with a course I am currently taking in the American civil war I got to thinking. WI America became balkanized after the civil war and turned into a bunch of jealous and begrudging states? The along comes a man who is determined to unite them under one banner and make a "Glorious Union" out of it all.
I'm thinking a POD just after the American Revolution but where Washington is killed which takes away his influence from the Congress and has the states fall apart and remain independent. This in turn leads some people to think "What if we had become one country?" Hence the rise of this character.
Thoughts? Remarks? Anyone who'd be willing to lend a hand with it?
