Oh no... was it also an obsessed office-seeker this time around ITTL? His meeting with Guiteau seems to have ended on a well enough note...

Not the OP, but misread the question as its inverse... and would like to ask that Any chance that Delaware is granted land, even if not the entirety of the Delmarva peninsula? There's certainly an element of punishing the treacherous and rewarding the loyal, but I'm coming more from the angle...

Maybe he could end up on the Supreme Court after his term as Veep?

Especially if they maintain or expand their control in Wallonia, the coal mines there would become vital.

I'd like to agree. Where exactly that adventurism will be directed to will be the question imo... Back to the Netherlands perhaps? Maybe Lorraine or some other nearby land on the western bank of the Rhine? Perhaps even some colonial dispute?

Probably would be a factor then as to when Carey marries her then... Maybe he seals the deal in '85 after securing re-election? With the scandals trickling in thru in the year after to contribute against favorability towards the President perhaps? Do wonder how much Carey's ratings could drag...

Now with these charts, I do wonder how much (or likely little?) the six-year itch affects Republican control of both houses of Congress come '66...

She was the Hürrem Sultan, not the Kosem Sultan

Cmiiw but wasn't containing France part of the reason why the Dutch ultimately didn't go for the rest of the Netherlands OTL? They'd rather have a weak Spanish buffer there (with the Hapsburgs being the ones to put up troops and other resources there) as opposed to the Dutch having to directly...

Technically no longer Spanish as per the Treaty of the Pyrenees ITTL, more like the Bishopric of Liege along with several other minor principalities in Wallonia Am curious to see how far France gets there here but am wondering more on the Rhine, will France control more of its left bank than OTL...

Am really late to the party on this one, but hurrah for the fall of Charleston! Do wish that Nevada elector made it though lol, but otherwise looking forward to this war's end and on to Reconstruction!

Speaking of Johnson, am I correct to assume that he got another term as Senator after he was passed over as Tennessee's military governor in favor of Brownlow? Would be nice for the state legislature to cast him aside and send Brownlow or an ally of his as the state's senator come '68 as a final...

Apologies if I got this wrong, but isn't the Confederate president entitled to just a single six-year term (no re-elections) or do I have that confused with something else? Do wonder who's gunning to run for the upcoming elections down there regardless TTL

Great update! Looking forward to the Cabinet! Will admit, am surprised Goldwater managed to hold out ITTL (a decent win by Bobby) given the narrow margin he had OTL (barely over a point against Schulz despite a commanding victory by Reagan)

More like '88 (Bobby's likely to get two terms imo) or even '92 (guy's rather young after all atm ittl), but yeah, he could be a good candidate
