Heart of Gold

Just wanted to say I loved the map. Beautiful. Californian Deseret? Very interesting. Also, looks like Grand Canyon will be a 21st Century international park, like OTL's Waterton-Glacier. California will have to develop the North Rim more to get their share of the tourists.
 
Great Timeline

I'm really liking this TL. So a black man became a founding father of California. California never became slave state in OTL, but there was a lot intolerance of blacks, Chinese, and sadly Mexicans, but how are you going to change race relations? Is California going to be more tolerant than it was in OTL, are the Chinese going to be welcomed, or are they going to be treated with animosity, and are Mexicans going to be given more civil rights, or are they going to be given second class citizenship after a few years? Is California going to be involved in the civil war? Also, I'm new to this site, so how do you automatically receive updates of a timeline.

Would like to read more about the fate of the Native Americans in California and the new US territories please.
 
I just found this TL. I really should venture out of the Post-1900 Forum more. This is pretty good; I'm interested to see where this ends up.

OTL's Oregon treaty had a section that said that "Navigation of 'channel and straits, south of the forty-ninth parallel of north latitude, remain free and open to both parties.'"

With Vancouver Island belonging to the US, is there any change in that section, or do the British have to enter Vancouver's harbor from the north?

Aye, that would still be in. Also, to everyone else, now that I'm back from vacation I am working on this little by little every day! Don't worry! I just imagine that updates for this shall be few and far between, sadly:(

Heart of Gold Has Stopped Beating

Today I would like to officially announce the end of Heart of Gold.

I know it has gotten a lot of support, and I truly appreciate everyone for reading it and their kind words, but regrettably my heart is no longer in it and it is a major stressor in my life with the feeling that I need to go write or research for it. It is a burden I must rid myself of altogether. I am sorry for all those that have enjoyed it so far and hoped for more, but I feel this is not the writing niche I want to be a part of and I must therefore end it. I feel this is not only in my best interest (for the above mentioned reasons) but also in the interest of the site in allowing you all to go forth and find other TLs to read as well as to allow myself to be a more productive member of the site.

I would like to give special thanks to PlatoonSgt, the man who inspired me to write this TL and allowed me in, for a time, to the "Hearts" family. If you have not read his "Heart of Dixie," I strongly suggest it.
PlatoonSgt, I shall always be grateful that you allowed me to do this. You are one hell of a guy.

Again, I am sorry to all.
