Governor Wallace sat idly by, listening as his chicken-shit lawyers and confidants gave him a spew of nonsense. The only things Wallace could glean from the empty words of these men was simple, a march would be conducted by a bunch of uppity pastors. Some Negro queers were going to be making...

I wanted to explore this post from 2018 more deeply, as I found it fascinating. The last comment describes a scenario where Tom McCall, a popular Oregon governor, wins the presidential election in 1976 as an independent. I will quote some of the info from the OP and the last comment on the post...

Hey! I've been thinking about this for a while, and formed an account to write this. I apologize if its a bit ASB-y, but basically the POD is a combination of Lurleen Wallace not getting cancer in 1961 and the US's population being a bit more conservative on civil rights in the late 1960s. This...

Have The election called for Wallace, and it isn't a case of Dewey defeats Truman, but have an establishment party gain power.

What if the Republican Party had become the bastion of liberal, center-left values, while the Democrats took on a conservative, populist center-right to right-wing ideology?

In 1972, George Wallace was competing to become the Democratic candidate for POTUS. On the campaign trail, he was shot by a disturbed young man named Arthur Bremer, who had previously considered an assassination attempt against Richard Nixon but switched targets when he decided it would be...

NIXON SABOTAGE? White House Officials Release Information on a Potential Sabotage of the Paris Peace Talks by the Nixon Campaign "Humphrey. You gotta listen here. This could be your key to victory. Come on." "I am trying to win this through honorable means. Not through petty attacks. Plus, I...

Introduction I've had this scenario written up for a long while now. I had learned a few years back that John Wayne was asked to run by Texas Republican Party backers. He refused because he felt American voters wouldn't buy an actor running for office. And since Ronald Reagan is a thing, I...

This is my first foray into writing an AH TL, so feel free to leave any feedback on this first chapter. I'd love for this to be a collaborative deal, so leave any ideas or suggestions below! I'm foreseeing this TL getting a little wild as things progress and I plan to use the polling feature...

"RFK announces presidential candidacy" - Headline of the Washington Post, 11th December 1967 "Kennedy is plausible. He's not a Johnson or Humphrey, he's not tied to that [Johnson's] administration, the American people will rally around him, he is the one of the few men in this campaign to lead...

Sequel to: https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/a-new-frontier-with-new-challenges-jfk-survives.437104/ Chapter One The President had only begun to drift off to a quick nap at his desk in his private office after a shot of morphine earlier when the phone on his desk roused him from...

Inasmuch as anybody still talks about George Wallace today, he seems to be almost universally remembered for his staunch defense of segregation and his role in helping the codify the “law and order” playbook in national politics. However, in the later stages of his life, Wallace did try to make...

Simply put, what if Arthur Bremer shoots George Wallace four years earlier, on May 15, 1968 rather than 1972, and kills him? Looking beyond the fact that Bremer would still be a 17 year old senior junior? (idk i'm not good at math) in high school, let's say he manages to nonetheless acquire a...

Ok, this is one of my personal favorite short stories, especially when it comes to Alternate History. While it's never a specific with the order, it does hint at a interesting timeline. The point of divergence seems to be during Woodrow Wilson's term. Here is the timeline. During the dark days...

The idea of this is to cause a 1976 election which re-aligns the GOP into a more liberal direction while sending the Democrats into a more conservative direction. The first POD is that Arthur Bremer fails to assassinate George Wallace, leaving him in perfect physical condition. The rest of...

With a POD of 1960, get George Wallace to be the democratic nominee and win the election. What does it take? What year is most likely? What circumstances have to occur for a disaster like this to happen? How disastrous would he be? Bonus points if JFK and LBJ are still presidents.

POD: Gerald Ford is assassinated by Fromme on September 5, 1975 Rockefeller wins the 1976 nomination due to a split in the conservative vote caused by Reagan’s Schweiker ploy, and the subsequent success of the Draft Buckley movement. Rockefeller nominates Howard Baker as his vice president...

Going into 1972, it seemed like no one could defeat Richard Nixon, as his he was wildly popular for opening up relations with China and a strong economy. However, many were still planning to challenge him. The most surprising thing was that Nixon had a major challenger in the Republican...

Oh, the white folks hate the black folks, And the black folks hate the white folks. To hate all but the right folks Is an old established rule. But during national brotherhood week, national brotherhood week, Cassius Clay and Mrs. Wallace are dancing cheek to cheek. It's fun to eulogize The...

Hello everyone. Me and Gentleman Biaggi have been coming up with this idea for a timeline for quite a while. We finally have some time so now we’re going to post the first chapter. We hope you enjoy this timeline.
