  1. President Robert Taft

    Taft was always considered a frontrunner from the Republician nomination, though never came closer than in 1940. He was considered the likely outcome between himself and Dewey until Wilkie came out of nowhere. What if Taft had gotten the nod in 1940 and ran a campaign against FDR's...

  2. Washington killed at Brandywine

    In honor of Independence Day, a what if about the Revolution. During the battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777, a British captain was said to have a clear shot at George Washington. He declined to take it as was par for British conduct at the time, such an act would be ungentlemanly...

  3. Freedom Party Propaganda

    Terrible, but kinda funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v-Kt7n8Dvco

  4. Lee in the West

    Suppose Robert E. Lee had been put in command of the Western Department after A.S. Johnson was killed at Shiloh. Would Lee be able to produce a string of victories in Tennesse and Mississippi like he did in Virginia? Or would it be a repeat of Grant v Lee 1864 style? Not to mention the effect...

  5. Alternate Election of 1844

    Been doing some reading on some of the past presidential elections, and one that struck me that could have gone different was 1844. Polk narrowly defeated Clay in the election in which the primary issue was the annexation of Texas. Polk was pro-annexation, and Clay was against it. If Clay was...

  6. The Baltimore Plot Successful- What if?

    Supposing there was one to start with, what if the Baltimore Plot was successful and Abraham Lincoln was assassinated before he took office in 1861. What effect would it have on the forming Confederate government? Seven states had already secceded from the Union, would the other four follow...

  7. Rising Sun Victorious- By Peter Tsouras

    Bought this at a used book store the other day. A collection of ten short stories supposing Japan wins the war. Everything from Nagumo's Fleet bombarding California, Hawaii and Panama simotaniously to Invasions of Australia, India and Russia. A lot of it is completely infeasable to say the...

  8. What if Arnold successfully surrendered West Point?

    Inspired by the previous two threads, how would the Revolution had progressed if Arnold was successful in turning West Point over to the British? Would it be the crippling blow managing to isolated the North from the South completely? Also, would Arnold now be thought of higher in British...

  9. Battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga

    What if, after his victory at Chickamauga, Bragg had followed up with a more aggressive pursuit and was able to destroy Rosecrans' army at Chattanooga before Grant and Sherman could reinforce him? This could be very possible. Nathan Bedford Forrest, in his usual diplomatic manner, advised...

  10. 1848 Revolutions

    Does anyone think it might be possible that the 1848 Revolutions in Europe might have been successful? Nearly every European power had some sort of a Communist Revolution in this year. Any possibilities any of them could have succeded? If so, what impacts would they have on the future...

  11. Earlier Civil War?

    I'm a little hazy on the early history on slavery in the US, but would it be possible for the Civil War to occur earlier? Sometime around 1836-1844'ish? For some reason I just had an image of Andrew Jackson in a Confederate uniform and it... fit somehow. :D

  12. Early's 1864 campaign

    Just putting out feelers for this one. In 1864 Jubal Early and about 15,000 men were sent by Lee to clear the Shennendoah Valley of Union troops, then to invade Maryland in an attempt to pull troops from threatening Richmond and Petersburg. During the campaign Early actually came close to...

  13. Texas doesn't join the Confederacy

    Been toying around with this idea in my head for the last couple days. After the Seccession Convention overruled Governor Sam Houston's veto, Houston urged the convention not to send delegates to Montgomery to join the Confederacy but to return to it's former status as an independent nation...
