Explaination.
William Henry Harrison’s death after the election of 1840 and the ascension of John Tyler to the Presidency killed any hope of passing the Whig agenda and sent it to the grave alongside him and would lead to the party collapsing within two decades… but what if he never drank the shit water, and survived? What if he never climbed the Stairway to Heaven? @ASTRO AMERICANA and I will explore a timeline where Old Tippecanoe survives his term. I will write about President Harrison’s term, and Astro will choose the winner of the 1844 election. A few rules we’ve agreed upon
- All Presidents must be people who actually existed IRL.
- The method of succession can be chosen, not the successor (I.E., I can say JFK is assassinated, I cannot say Lyndon B. Johnson is his Vice President.)
- The W in TLIAW stands for “Whenever it’s done” not “Week”
