  1. The Regency Crisis of '75: An Imperial Russian Tale

    Does the USA still own Alaska? Sounds like they me be a bit isolationist
  2. America: A TL Retold

    I feel like Canada is doomed here. A split cultur mixed with a belligerent neighbor, not the recipe for long term successs
  3. Quasi-War V: "The Interlude"

    How about Hokkaido? With so many various groups I would imagine it would be Unrecognizable now
  4. Say What?!: A President Barry Goldwater Timeline 2.0

    Interesting timeline, just a quick question though. Why does civil rights seem to be falling by the wayside? It was a large part of OTL campaign, and in this time line Goldwater is coming off my worse on the subject than he actually was
  5. United States of the Americas and Oceania Version 2.0

    Any thoughts on the Darien gap? It seems like having a road connecting the two continents would be desirable
  6. Slavery and the Civil War

    Ugh Its a wonder how much bad history, bad fiction, and overall ignorance one middling general is responsible for.
  7. Slavery and the Civil War

    Wow, is there any published Southern Victory timeline where Robert E. Lee is not considered to be a Angry southern god of martial power and paragon of human dignity?
  8. Slavery and the Civil War

    Nice to see an interesting discussion build up here. I was thinking of the latest dust-up with Haley Barbour. Ignoring the politics of it, do you think that many southerners tend to want to idealize the past, and that the Southern Victory timelines reflect this? Maybe people feel they can do...
  9. Slavery and the Civil War

    Thank you. This is part of what I was getting at earlier, the use of a hand wave to get rid of slavery. Even assuming that Lee was some benevolent southern paragon who was a closet abolitionist (as noted by others, this is very very far from the truth), he would not be able to get rid of slavery...
  10. Trent Affair War

    Just wanted to be a little different. Say the US and UK do go to war over the Trent affair, and the US comes out on top. What are the likely consequences?
  11. Slavery and the Civil War

    Exactly! So why would a southern victory timeline be any different, if not much worse and lasting longer than in OTL? An interesting ATL would be a stronger reconstruction after the war. Again though, I have rarely seen any of these issues discussed in Civil War ATLs. With slaves being...
  12. Slavery and the Civil War

    That seems very likely when it comes to many ATLs. Slavery is not an easy issue to deal with, and many writers find it easier to sidestep the issue. However, I think this kind of romanticism leads to a blindness over history, which I find suprising in AH writers, who tend to have an avid...
  13. Slavery and the Civil War

    Just a quick thought. I have read a number of civil war alternate histories, and a majority of them seem to ignore the issue of slavery. Maybe "ignore" is the wrong term, but it certainly is an issue that is brushed aside. There are certainly exceptions to this, but not many. It seems like...
  14. Challenge: Prime Minister of Canada, Sarah Palin

    heh, sorry Canadians. Just daydreaming a way that we could be rid of her. Although, Imagine what it would be like if she was born and raised in Alberta. So, Canada does not deserve Sarah Palin, because they are a good people. Which country can we send her too?
  15. Challenge: Prime Minister of Canada, Sarah Palin

    Heh, maybe I should have put this in the ASB section....
  16. Challenge: Prime Minister of Canada, Sarah Palin

    All right everyone, here is a challenge. Make Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin the Canadian Prime Minister. The point of departure is any date past the last presidential inauguration (i.e. democrats won, Obama is president). Furthermore, what is the reaction to this in Canada, the US, and eveywhere...
  17. The Alaskan Lease

    The answer is no. It was sold without any time restrictions. It has been an urban myth in the Russia that there is a claim on Alaska because following the 1917 Russian Revolution the communist government renounced all previous laws and treaties of the czarist government. You can read the terms...
  18. war plan red

    Well, they could always have blamed Canaded for the use of foul language in American Youth. Maybe kidnap some Canadian Vaudville actors and put them on trial for war crimes?
  19. In at the Death- *SPOILERS*

    I guess my big question is, what is the final political resolution? Is the confederacy and canada on track to become eventual states? Or are they both simply occupied for eventual independance? In other words, what are the political AIMS of the US?
  20. Gay country

    Thats assumming that the children all grow up to be gay. Most studies show that gay parents have gay children at the same rate or lower than than hetrosexual parents. While such a country could start out with a gay majority, it would be hard pressed to keep it
