Yeah, early US history I'm a bit hazy on, but hey.. good chance to learn a bit. Maybe after we along twenty-thirty years or so, some of us can start hashing out something of a TL.
well children when do you think we should get started?
Hmm, 24 hours should be good, but if you want, we could start listing important issues now.
Two Important Issues to consider:
The Yazoo Land Fraud, and the Future of the Jay Treaty.
you also have 3 Supreme Court Appointments (one Chief Justice, two Associate Justices)
And we can't forget the effects of the Alien and Sedition Acts Non-existence ITTL.
and what will Jefferson do about Jacobin France, in OTL cooling his heels in the VP chair made him much less racal (that and the French revolution failing) with-out that Jefferson is at the hight of his "The tree of liberty must from time to time be refreshed with the blood of patriots and tyrants" faze![]()
To be Honestly, I have a strong feeling that Jefferson would say "@#$% the Jay Treaty" and try to help France. This of course could lead to the Quasi-War being fought against Britain, and a much earlier "War of 1812."![]()
1812 was at the end of the Napoleonic Wars, if Jefferson starts a war it'll be at the start of them and with France as an ally

Oh great, the election of Jefferson spells the doom for the young republic. Good job guys.![]()
also no John Marshall as Chief Justice,the court will look nothing like it did in OTL
And if the Court never establishes Judicial Review,....Wow.![]()
also no John Marshall as Chief Justice,the court will look nothing like it did in OTL
We got till 1800 before Marshall is to be appointed Chief Justice, plenty of time to have Adams win in 1800. Also, the Chief Justice during this time, Oliver Ellsworth, is a Federalist from Washington's 2nd term who resigned so Adams could appoint a younger more healthy Federalist Chief Justice
