We all know that the great depression caused the US to fall apart. President Mellon failed to address the economic concerns and even made it worse in a way. President Tydings was just Mellon but more moderate, and eventually his assassination caused the country to fall a part.
What would have happened if the US hadn't fallen apart? Certainly, Mellon had to be replaced with someone more moderate, and Tydings had to be replaced by someone with bold, progressive ideas (Wheeler and Long [1] come to mind), but who?
How would World War 2 go if the US hadn't fallen apart?
[1]=It may seem shocking that the 1st Communist Premier of Louisiana was a progressive. But he became a communist after Tydings's assassination. He supported Burton K. Wheeler's 1932 run and gave the Louisiana delegation to him.
