  1. To Delve and Spin – A Medieval English timeline

    This lends itself to some interestingphilosophical discussions. If, as you said, there isn't anything really new being created in the way of how the Enlightenment and other thigns created new ideas, then the King, as sovereign ruler, would have the natural right to lead the army in battle...
  2. AHC: 10 million members of AlternateHistory.com by 2010

    I think you'll find this solution to be plausible, since you don't mention how active they are. Because there was some Monumental growth that alternate history just needs to be tied to. The concept of alternate history takes hold in the Proto internet of the lady teen hundreds when so many...
  3. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    LOL, thanks. Yeah at least when I speak into my device I can have it larger print and it usually understands what I'm saying. :) Typing, there's no chance :) Also, before I decided to go all the way back to mark twain, I was going to say that Will Rogers probably first came up with the Talking...
  4. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    This sounds really good. Even if the whole last third of the 19th century is about getting "good Indians" away from "bad Indians," just acknowledging there are good ones will be a big step forward. South Dakota as a 2nd Oklahmoma would work, too, becasue originally Dakota was split into 2...
  5. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    Wow, thanks for sharing! I always figured because he led military against them that he hated them, but perhaps with Lincoln's command to keep them on the Union side, Pope might be best up there and elsewhere.
  6. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    Did Ord think well of Narive Americans - or at least better than many? If so, he'd be the perfect one to send off to deal with them. As for Grant, all it takes is a few meetings with LIncoln or Stanton where they say, "You know, it looks like you're putting a bit too much trust in 'x', here's a...
  7. Sports What Ifs.

    I just learned from a faellow Cleveland Indians fan last week that there was a good reason, unbeknownst to me, that the red Sox were seen by some as bitter rivals in the early '80s. Dennis Eckersley had basically forced a trade after Rick Manning stole his wife! The 2 couldnt be in the same room...
  8. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    That's true, I am probably putting modern concepts of closure into my idea of a Union Mills gathering. As noted, if there was one it would be about the destruction of the planter class and bringing the pour from both sides together, but I had forgotten just how many were killed also, so much...
  9. Ole Miss Riot of 1962 turns into full-scale insurrection

    I can't see it being as bad as a second civil war. Our collaborative timeline the Selma Massacre looks very plausible, however. Civil rights was going to happen, it appeared, television was making it inevitable that a Civil Rights bill would be passed. However I can see a lot of rumblings, just...
  10. Reconstruction: The Second American Revolution - The Sequel to Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid

    In our timeline there were a reunion at Gettysburg on the 50th anniversary and still a few scattered Soldiers made it in 1938 for the 75th anniversary. It seems that, even though the planter class is being destroyed, there would be some desire for a reunion just to show that it is one nation...
  11. NBA: The Difference a Trade Makes

    It very well could have been. Still something that would definitely go well with the comic strip World once he does that.
  12. NBA: The Difference a Trade Makes

    I remember Shaquille O'Neal doing at least a Ride Along as a policeman, though as I look it up I realize it was when he was in Los Angeles and not Orlando. Either way, this needs to be a story sequence of at least two weeks in a jump start comic strip now, considering that the comic about the...
  13. National Unity 1980: A John Anderson Presidency

    What's the hostage crisis sparking my going from following local to National politics as a 10-year-old, the 1980 election was really interesting to me in our timeline. This would really be fascinating and would probably allow me to understand a lot faster how some of those conventions could have...
  14. NBA: The Difference a Trade Makes

    This offseason also will feature the Dream Team in the 1992 Olympics. I wonder if the same players will appear in this timeline? I don't recall for sure but I think Larry Bird played and with him retiring a year early I don't know if he would be on it. Then again, he doesn't have as many rings...
