Okay, as a few people know, I've been puttering about a timeline/story in which napoleon leads the american revolution in the 1790's on a merry conquest of the americas. (It's silly, but it was partly written as a response to "let's break up america", which is fashionable).
Other idea: No Jeffersonian election:
"With Jefferson tending the Farm and spending even more time
with the mistresses, Than goofing up the USN as President, that won't
happen, and Prez. Adams & Benjamin Stoddert(First Sec. of the
Navy) and had big plans- And got Congress in 1799 to
authorize $1 million for 2 drydocks(US had none)plus multiple
new Navy Yards and (6) 74gun SOL plus all those Humphreys frigates
that were planned to be built past the few that were OTL, with
a total of 24 super frigates and 12 SOL on the USN wishlist.
That would put the new USN in among the top 5 naval powers,
with *good* relations with the UK. Things went downhill with TJ
at the helm with US/UK relations, as well, besides gutting the Navy
No pressing of US merchantmen, and no UK gunrunning to the Indians
Expect a Land Grab on French territory in the west, as soon as that
Continental system is put into effect, and probably Andy Jackson
hangs Frenchmen in place of Brits if they are behind arming the Indians"
Mike on SHWI.
Hamilton wanted to support the creation of american republics, as well.
Say the federalists win in 1800, and the US establishes a history this early of being a great naval power. Effects?
