A. This section of the forum is only for PODs before 1900Why?
Yer, with Hannibal Hamlin in the driving seat of the War and Reconstruction, i believe we would have a fair society in america for African Americans
Seizing the land of the big planters will destroy the influence of white supremacists.Why?
Regardless of who is POTUS, the White South will still be dead set against Black rights, and most people in the North still won't give a hoot either way. When one side cares and the other doesn't, the outcome is predictable.
Why?
If it's before 1900, you're just murdering some random German kid of Austrian descent. Why not do something like try and change his personality instead?

Qin might end up not only conquering the rest of China,but actually surviving much longer because of this.Jing Ke murders King Zheng of Qin.
If the land is then given to former slaves, they will have countervailing political power.Where do you find the slightest evidence for that?
When the planter class lost power toward the end of the century, the governments that replaced them , dominated by poorer whites, were if anything even more racist.
Indeed, quite a few planters, like Governor Alcorn of MS, at first supported the Republicans. They were mostly old Whigs, and on economic policies were closer to the GOP than to the Democrats, who both before and after the War were chiefly the party of the white "yeomanry".
Anyway, what evidence have you that Hamlin would have done so? OTL, as a US Senator in 1872, he joined with the vast majority of the Republicans in voting to lift most of the political disabilities imposed by Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. So he's unlikely to do anything really draconian.
I'm not familiar with this one. Link?Vladimir Lenin on August 30 1918
They were not all created equal. Anything after Bavaud or Elser is probably a net negative.Any of the assassination attempts against Hitler.
Massive butterflies here. Interesting. WAs there an assassination attempt, or might he have died in battle?Timur the conqueror during his Mameluk campaign in Syria. Lots of people will be saved.
Yeah, but the differences between Stalin and other potential Soviet leaders from an ideological standpoint really were not all that great. Later on they are moreso, but not then.Somebody took a shot at Stalin around 1928. They missed and ignighted his paranoia.
No Stalin releases to many butterflies to count, virtually anything could happen
Yeah, but the lack of male line heir might have not saved the monarchy. Yes, it could have passed to a daughter or to the son of a daughter, but I don't see it enduring at that point.Dom Pedro II in 1889. Might have prevented the military coup which installed the Republic and completed the Brazilian army's transition from a national defense institution to a political corporation.
Or, it might have the opposite effect while also weakening the prospect for subsequent investment in the country.Seizing the land of the big planters will destroy the influence of white supremacists.
The land reforms in Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea didn't do that. By creating a class of black landowners, you are creating a base for progress.Or, it might have the opposite effect while also weakening the prospect for subsequent investment in the country.
There is a difference between confiscating entire estates of everyone, and parceling out the lands of rebel leaders. Also, those three are exceptions very much shaped by the circumstances of the cold war.The land reforms in Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea didn't do that. By creating a class of black landowners, you are creating a base for progress.
