For my "If Baseball Integrated Early"/"Brotherhood and baseball" unvierse (Next NaNoWriMo may be set there in an alternate '60s/'70s) but equally applicable if we Civil Rights in the '20s after an Underwood Presidency int he teens or maybe even a 1951 Voting Rights Act after Truman & Barkeley die & a 1956 Civil Rights Act. (Where the only difference is, unlike the IBIE and "Civil Rights in '20s" TL the military isn't integrated during World War 2, while it would be int he first 2.)

Muliple choice b/c of a few questions.

1. I presume Truman wins eaier in '48 in the first 2 b/c of no split, but does the lack of civil Rights as an issue make a Nixon win easier? A Kennedy win easier? Does it depend on the V.P.?

2. Addition tot he last, does JFK pick LBJ if he doesn't feel he needs the South? Or does he anyway and it doesn't matter as much to the Conservative wing because he wants to balance the ticket?

3. Does he even need to go to Dallas in 1963 to campaign, and if not, does anyone try to assassinate him elsewhere? Oswald may not even have moti ve, but even if he does, then he'd lack opoprtunity.

4. Does JFK run in '64? I've read so many conflicting thigns on here about how bad his Addison's Disease was.
