Well my first TL started out good but died on itself as I started to go into ASB territory. :eek: In my new one that I've been working on for about a week, (I'm already at like 10 pages on word) William Henry Harrison wears a coat and hat on his inauguration day, while he still catches a slight cold, he get's over it and survives to run the nation for 4 years. Henry Clay makes up with Harrison over time and by the next election, Clay has changed as a person, he now sorta supports annexation of Texas, which was the main issue. Clay does makes more fuss over Oregon however and coupled with Polk's failure to bring up the Oregon issue, only relying on Texas, Clay wins. The M-A war begins soon after and in mid 1848, (a bit later than OTL as the war began a bit later) the US win. Clay and his Whig congress force through a bill, with much rejection from northerners) that annexes much more of Mexico than OTL. so far, i'm at a point where Clay now turns his attention to Oregon, being the great compromiser and states-man that he is, what wold he do with Britain over the issue. The US has just curb-stomped Mexico and annexed about 3/5 of the nation, and congress has extended the joint US-British occupation of all of the Oregon county, Remember that it's 1848 as well and I'm not writing the chapter on the the Revolutions of 1848. Any ideas for that region would be helpful as well. Any advice I'd love to hear. I'll be posting the first page of my TL soon. :)
