    A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    Dear God! I have re-read the TL at last and filled several pages with foreshadowing I had forgotten about. Not sure how quickly I might get back to chapters but we'll see...

    Wrapped in Flames: The Great American War and Beyond

    I really like Lovell Rousseau! Glad to see he is getting more of an airing.

    A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    Now that's an idea! How to get more immigrants from the Germanies though...? The Navy is this President's blind spot. You'll have to wait for the Busted Flush Presidency... Kearny has the mantra of the right man for the job and also views the cabinet like a combination of staff officer and...

    On an unrelated subject here is some ejit talking to the American Civil War Round Table UK on Phil Kearny at such a length he couldn't fit in Second Bull Run...

    Threadmarks: Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Six The Consuls of His Empire

    Chapter One Hundred and Sixty Six The Consuls of His Empire From “Men of Proven Merit - Kearny and His Cabinet” by Amelia Doggett Grosvenor 2017 "When it was suggested to Kearny that he wait for the new leadership of the newish National Union Party to get organised before making major...

    Which TL would you like to see?

    I rant about this all the time. The revised alignment preserves command and control longer in TTL than in OTL. Don Carlos is still turning up tomorrow with a fresh army but imagine if Johnston can end Grant's and/or Sherman's career by breaking Grant's army entirely on day one. The obvious...

    A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    As a reader told me about an live & online talk in the UK on Phil Kearny that I should look into, I had to admit I am the one giving the talk. Over 10 years since I started writing nonsense about the Civil War and Phil Kearny I am now giving a talk about his real history to the American Civil...

    A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    How did I miss the tenth anniversary of starting this TL? I really enjoyed writing it but life and work got in the way of continuing it to 1900 (I had notes for politics and world affairs up til then). I learned a lot about the Civil War I didn’t expect researching this and it’s led me to many...

    You killed Sherman? You were only supposed to blow his bloody arm off! x'D

    A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    I am working on the cabinet post now to be followed by a world update and then into the meat of a Kearny Presidency. I am also re-reading everything to make sure I have caught all my own foreshadowing! (What was I thinking in 2012 - seriously there are a lot of notes!)

    A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    Should I use Covid-freedom to keep going or has the Abyssinian interlude turned you off? I have had the sense from several people I respect on several sites that the Abyssinian Adventure, as currently constituted, is an alternative course too far. Thoughts?

    A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    Ironically very similar to OTL but for different reasons. General John J.Peck of the Freedman's' Bureau was previously a founder partner in the Burnett Bank of Syracuse. He recognises the vital role that having access to banking facilities plays. As a result Douglass has been invited to play a...

    A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    Not only are lots of the former southern electorate disenfranchised as expatriated rebels who need to retake the oath of allegiance, but lots of their natural leaders have either been deported or are keeping out of politics less the Office of Proscription dust off their file and look again at...

    A Glorious Union or America: the New Sparta

    Geary is now the Governor. Shields proved repeatedly he could get elected in states he had little relationship with - in TTL because of his Irish-American credentials and because of the popularity of the "hanging" judges of the military tribunals in general. In TTL Shields has got himself...
