  1. AHC: A definition of American Midwest to include Pittsburgh and Buffalo

    Just a personal note. I spent a summer in Cleveland working as a summer associate at a big law firm. My wife, a New York City girl by birth, upbringing and choice, always referred to Cleveland as "the West". So Buffalo and Pittsburgh would probably be considered the "Middle West" by her type...

  2. The Navy Comes of Age

    Excellent start. John Barry is certainly the man to command the fleet and be the hero of the story!

  3. Alternatives to "President" in non-US worlds

    First Guardian. The other "cabinet ministers" could be Guardians.

  4. People who could have been good US presidents.

    John Chaffe. Combat Marine in both WWII and the Korean War, Governor of Rhode Island, Secretary of the Navy and long serving U.S. Senator. The very embodiment of the old Eastern, Internationalist wing of the GOP.

  5. Who else could have been president other than Lincoln?

    I agree that Seward is the most likely choice. If Seward is the nominee, Lincoln would not be a good VP choice since he is also a former Whig and Trumbull is a good ticket balancer as an ex-Democrat and a Midwesterner. Chase is also an ex-Democrat and a Midwesterner but a Seward/Chase ticket...

  6. 2010 US Presidential Election

    Dear Mr. Bunny, Congratulations on another anniversary. I salute you and your fellow authors on a job well done! I eagerly await further installments in this ever expanding saga. Your devoted reader, AH

  7. A Different American Future: How Washington Changed The World

    A few thoughts: 1. The scholars of the Constitutional Convention seem to be clear that the Convention created the Presidency as it did in the expectation that George Washington would be the President. 2. It is also a common belief that the Constitution might well have failed to...

  8. Who Had the Better Generals, the Union or the Confederacy?

    Most of the discussion in this thread has focused, quite naturally, on the battlefield commanders. However, I believe that some thought should be given to the "behind the scenes" generals where I believe the Union had a distinct advantage. I believe that generals such as Quartermaster General...

  9. [AH Fiction] The Bengasi Confessions

    Is Dino a soul brother of Mr. Harvey Weinstein of OTL?

  10. [AH Fiction] The Bengasi Confessions

  11. DBWI - Interesting Map.

    A "North Atlantic" alliance that includes Portugal but not Spain, that includes both Greece and Turkey (ancient enemies) in the Mediterranean and all of the Italic States plus a tiny dot in Prussia but not all of the British Isles? It doesn't sound very "North Atlantic" to me. Where is this...

  12. DBWI - Interesting Map.

    Perhaps a stupid question: What is a "NATO"? Is it a country, an alliance or a confederation? It seems to cover a great deal of territory.

  13. Best movies about the Battle of Gettysburg

    Strange, I thought the movie was a tribute to the 20th Maine and it all leads up to Chamberlin charging down Little Big Top and saving the Union. Goose bumps. Seriously, it was filmed on or near the actual sites and used literally thousands of re-enactors. I think it is probably the best...

  14. AHC: Invasion of the Mainland United States post 1900

    Red Napoleon by Floyd Gibbons. A 1928 "Future History" of the invasion of North America by a Soviet Union which has conquered Europe, the UK and Japan (and captured their fleets). The invasion is by the Japanese in Puget Sound and by the Europeans through the St. Lawrence and down through New...

  15. 2010 US Presidential Election

    Dear Mr. Bunny, Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary! As an avid reader of (and sometimes contributor to) this site, I applaud your efforts. I might even say that you and your co-contributors and done a better job than the original show runners since this site is much fairer to...

  16. Turtledove's 'Worldwar': Specific terms of the Peace of Cairo

    FDR's Southern White House was in Warm Springs, Georgia, not Hot Springs Arkansas.

  17. Mr. Stewart Goes to Washington

    I think you may be confusing the U.S. Department of the Interior with Ministries of the Interior in European countries. The U.S. Department of Interior is not in charge of "everything else". Rather, it is in charge of the National Parks, the Bureau of Reclamation (dams and irrigation projects)...

  18. Mr. Stewart Goes to Washington

    JFK was not a lawyer. I believe that the AG must, by statute, be someone "learned in the law". Even if he could take the job, why would he give up a safe Senate seat to serve in the cabinet of a man he found crude, overbearing and corrupt? In OTL JFK made LBJ his running mate in order to...

  19. A fantasy setting involving an industrial revolution

    Brian McClellan's Powder Mage trilogy. The Napoleonic Wars with emerging industry, magicians of varying abilities and what may be angry gods. I liked the first book, "Promise of Blood" the best.

  20. Books Where Soviets Win The Cold War?

    C. M Kornbluth's "Not This August" is a classic of the Communists conquer the U.S. genre. The Soviets and the Chinese wear down the U.S. in a war of attrition and occupy the country after a surrender by the President. The narrator knows some of the facts of the war and the defeats the U.S...
