DBWI: USA Series -- Pretty Epic

^^I hope they look at countries that didn't get as much ink in the rest of the series -- New Frontier gave its third to the wider world, so Britain, the USSR, and China got chapters (and, depending ever on the edition, India and France may have had short sections as well), but I find myself curious about the less powerful nations. For example, whenever I look at the maps, I find myself wondering what this TL's "Canada" is like...
 
I'm sorry, but this is just a pet peeve of mine--having people in the timeline who by all rights should have been butterflied away. Yes, I realize that it's often necessary to sacrifice realism for entertainment and that really the whole point of allohistory is to see historical people and things in situations wildly divergent from reality, and yes I'm being a hypocrite because I did the same exact thing in "Swords of the Huron" (I had to or there would be no plot), but still.

I rather liked Alexander Hamilton before whatshisface suggested that he was based on a real person, however loosely. AH writers should be more willing to just make characters up, yes, even in the periods when historical analogues are possible. *sigh*
 
Well, we know that Franklin D. Roosevelt is fictional, anyway.

Yes, but based on NY State governor Quentin Roosevelt, a great man in his own right.....

@smjb: Uh....Alexander Hamilton WAS a real person. In fact, he was the 4th Prime Minister of the Southern Confederation! You must've fallen asleep in history class. :p

Speaking of that, I just realized something: Did anyone else notice the similarities between Ronald Reagan, 40th President of TTL's America, and OTL's John Reagan, the Californian 10-time baseball champion?

OOC: BTW, guys, I don't see this thread lasting too much longer. I am considering starting a new one since this one technically had to be necro'ed to survive.
 
The scenario this thread created is amazing, I would love to see a timeline come out of it if it could be organized into something understandable.
