  1. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Except that they won't. The next President is going to be worse than McClellan and likely the one who passes the Cursed Amendment. With this and the subsequent President, I don't think even the New Men can save the US. What we are seeing is the slow decline of the US followed by its fall and...

  2. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    On the topic of the US being a shining beacon on the hill that was mentioned earlier, I feel that the New Men would be anathema to it since they are revanchist and harbour imperialistic ambitions. That's why I suspect that post-Great War, they are largely discredited and reviled as they dragged...

  3. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Yeah, it is a shame. However, there is another Confederate Victory TL called This Guilty Land to fill the void. The author intends to cover the Boss Tweed Presidency in the future. So far, Wrapped in Flames, Cinco de Mayo (and its sequel), and This Guilty Land are the known Civil War TLs on...

  4. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    I'm pretty sure Palmerston is still alive in 1867 but you're right, there is a split within the Liberals if my memory is correct. Not sure how this will affect British politics in the long run. As an aside, the author of Nothing For Which To Apologize has been banned and the story has...

  5. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    I have some random questions about some of the people in this TL. When I was reading about William Gwin of California, I found there was another William Gwin, who was a promising naval officer serving in the Union's riverine navy commanding the Benton. He died from battlefield injuries in 1863...

    I believe he said that the map will be out showing 1870. Also, my guesses on the Cursed Amendment are wrong, huh? As for the proxy wars mentioned above, what proxy wars? Is the US going to support a second Indian Mutiny? The idea of the US doing this is pretty far-fetched. Also EC, I know you...

  7. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Okay. Good that no one in the US is dumb enough to entertain that idea. I guess the 13th Amendment legalizes the secession of states if they vote for it and the rest of the US states agree to it like what happened in that conference McClellan thought up as his 'genius' move. That would...

  8. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    I've been wondering who is the US President after McClellan but is George Pendleton going to be the next President? I mean, with the coming Emergency of 1867 and how it would tie back to the McClellan Administration, his chances are probably quite low but he might still command influence among...

  9. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Given all that is happening in the US and will happen in the future of this story, I'm surprised that the US hasn't collapsed into different nations because of a series of bad Presidents. I know the US becomes an economic powerhouse by the turn of the 20th century but the author did not state...

    I concur. I distinctly remember that Sheridan killed Forrest in Kentucky.

  11. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    And so would KingSweden24, I guess. His AH story, Cinco de Mayo, has Longstreet as one of the CS Presidents. Speaking of, I highly recommend readers of WiF to read it for another unique CS victory TL on this site.

  12. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    I remember EC said that Breckenridge is one of the Three Good Presidents although not when. I figured he is the first of them but I'm not sure who are the other two. Would Longstreet be one of them?

  13. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Since Lee is not running for President, who do you think would be the CS President? It would be funny if it is States Rights Gist (he died in battle in 1864 OTL but I'm sure he's alive ITTL) so future historians would call him President States Rights, and people not in the know would think that...

  14. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Yeah, but in fairness given the current political climate which even has the possibility of Confederate sympathizers gaining political positions in Washington and that a 'Cursed Amendment' gets approved that would have repercussions for American politics for years, I can't think of any great...

  15. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    So is Lee going to be President? And I thought he was not interested in politics. Also, an interesting place Kearny has found himself in, but wasn't he a bad general, at least according to an article I read a long time ago? From the above, it seems the Confederacy has a lot of friendly...

  16. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Interesting, but Luxembourg does not share a land border with the Netherlands. Would that be a factor in the sale? I'm asking out of curiosity.

  17. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Yeah, I agree with this assessment. Okay, maybe I should have been more clear. I wrote that in the first chapter, the US became a Great Power but I didn't elaborate that it be a constrained one as I figured that it was pretty obvious to us readers. But I don't think we can discount how it can...

  18. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Having Four Wars of German Unification is something I did not expect along with Bismarck, Moltke, and Wilhelm dying. Is one of the four wars going to happen in the Great War? Given the next 50 years would likely not include the other two wars unless they happen so close to each other, I think...

  19. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    Another thing that no one is talking about is Africa. We talk about the Americas, Europe, Asia, and even have one chapter talk a bit about Australia, but have ignored any butterflies that could impact Africa. Is there any chapter covering what is happening in Africa?

  20. Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    When I wrote that, I was not in my right mind, and now that I look back at it, it mostly reads as poor speculation from a disturbed person with mental and emotional issues and someone would call me out for it. For the last alternate history story, you wrote that Washington state was annexed into...
