OK so a few months ago I had a discussion with JedidiahStott about the possibility of a Jacobite Coup happening after Queen Anne's death in 1714 Its a long discussion so here's the link: http://www.gateway.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showthread.php?t=266798. The discussion is on the second and third pages. Any way the idea was an organized coup taking place shortly after Anne died. So what if it was successful and James III & VIII was made King? What would the long-term ramifications be? Would we see an earlier Catholic emancipation? Would James convert or make some sort of promise, via Parliamentary act, that he would not intervene in the Church of England or any religious affairs? Who would he marry? Would the Crown be stronger and less dependent on a Prime Minister, like what happened with Kings George I and II? Would Britain remain unified or would the Act of Union be repealed? Who would his sister Louisa Maria marry (Forgot to mention the actual POD was Louisa surviving and James having some sort of religious experience while sick with smallpox)? Would we see an alliance between Britain and France?
