the supreme court said that they owned there land but Jackson removed them anyways have a president that sides with the court and you can have the state of Cherokee
 
My suggestion, Merge both of them and call it The Hope of Liberty: An American TL.
That involves more POD's, butterflies, and details than I think is legally accepted as staying near plausible...at best, I can think Brunel and Cherokee can be merged, simply through the fact that Brunel has a confirmed date of when he arrived, and its easier to find a POD to make him stay.

However, the Cherokee one involves a few early POD's before the big one (Supreme Court ruling stronger than Jackson/Jacksonian president.
 
Alright, anyone have anything they'd like to see in the timeline? I'd like some discussion on it.
By the way, June 1st is the tentative date of its release (William Dellinger and I are doing research and the like till then, so we have a researched first post and so on...)
 
1. Losaintville: City of Light, City of Dark
Basically, the alternate history of Cincinnati and the area from its formation in the 1780's. Not only would it have a different name, but also different events would be different.

2. Know-Nothings and Over the Rhine:
A AH version of the 1855 Know-Nothing Riots in the Over the Rhine area of Cincinnati gets worse, leading to greater cooperation between immigrant groups, and the area also becomes heavily anti-slave (to be fixed through discussion how).

3. A Harsher Treaty-
an alternate history of the state of Ohio, following the Treaty of Greenville, and later in which a part of it is made into a reservation for Natives during Jackson's presidency.

4. Sunny in Mexico-
The Mexican-American war ends with parts of Mexico under U.S. occupation, and possible annexation, due to stronger All-Mexico movements in the U.S.

5. Brunels in America-
Basically, Marc Isambard Brunel decides to stay in America, and raises his family there, and how it changes American Industrialization.

6. Cherokee Nation-
the bulk of the Cherokee nation joins the colonial cause during the ARW, and manages to keep its land in Georgia after the war, and leads to a different government policy.

7.Other-
none of these work in your opinion and want to suggest something else, you have an idea and need someone to help you with it, or you like an idea, but think a different POD or result should occur, please go with this.

I chose Other because I don't particularly know much about the Ohio history/area; America-wank at the expense of Mexico is overdone; industrial revolution is blah; Cherokee nation might be kind of interesting.

I think I'd like to see a sort of combination of of greater cooperation with the natives, but more to see how the Wild West might be changed if the US was more willing to deal with them as equals or at least semi-autonomous or something. So yeah, I'd go with option #6 except just... later - of course, any future butterflies will have roots in colonial diplomacy and such, no doubt.

Anyway, good luck!
