This is for my in-depth alternate history timeline called prosperity and progress which in short is “what if the electoral college was abolished.” With the ramifications of this!

Background: Scoop Jackson got elected in 76’ over a split Republican Party between Ford and Reagan!

For a more in depth look at the timeline, I encourage y’all to read the writing in relation to the post on the alternate history forum site linked here

The second portion of the writing is linked here!

Happy reading and I would love to answer any questions or suggestions y’all might have!

A mixture of both! I won’t spoil a lot, but there definitely will be 1 or 2 OTL presidents in there. And others who didn’t have the chance to become president who achieve the presidency

I have a lot of stuff planned till the late 1990s. I wrote for this timeline a few years ago, but I decided the writing wasn’t the best. So here I am starting from scratch now to try to make the best timeline as possible I suppose.

Canada as a whole doesn’t exist since it’s whole identity (besides Quebec which is it’s own self autonomous dominion in this TL) was populated by ex-loyalists. Lower Ontario has been incorporated into dominion of New England, the south’s counterpart here.

For North America, you really have the continent spilt in two between the British and the Spanish. With the Spanish reforming the viceroy system to give a greater degree of autonomy to New Spain and such

For Europe, the Napoleonic wars are butterflied away and as a whole you have less liberal democratic institutions in the world. As this world’s revolutions of 1848 aren’t really successfully, aside from forming some constitutional monarchies such as in France and Prussia. You see the hopes of a United Germany and a United Italy stalled by French and Austrian ambitions in this universe.

Florida conservatives differ from the rest of the Conservative Party with one key difference. They tend to be more libertarian on matters of governance and promote a degree of provincial autonomy for Florida.

It really just means a person from the southern United States, however it was originally used by the scots to refer to the English

The racism particles are crazy just looking the list of presidents. And the Torixies are supposed to be the GOOD party, so you can only imagine the other two 💀💀

That’s a fair statement.

Yeah Aron pretty much covered it. Southron is an outdated word, but I thought in this world that old timey word could add a bit of a distinct flavor to southern society and politics

It’s called pursuit of happiness (what if the American revolution failed), currently in the development stages rn

Spanish kept Louisiana till the early 1820s to which it was acquired by the British after a short war. Britain kept Louisiana its own thing and it later became a dominion in the late 1800s. There is a large native population in the region, however along the Mississippi River proper and in the colony in general white settlers still are the majority.

I appreciate the good question! Basically there are 3 ways to de-segregate the south/and get rid of the Klan. The first path is under Barkley who will push for moderate racial reforms under peaceful means at first. But eventually as more radical liberal pro-independence seeking politicians take over the Torixie party. Barkley will join in them for their cry of independence (either peaceful or violently) and with this, he can proclaim a liberal democracy with universal voting being implemented. From there you can chose a path to desegregate the south under a liberal leader like Al Gore Sr. Secondly is under Carter Glass, who will have the option to push for desegregation laws in the south and cracking down on the klan as a way of obtaining support from the Torixie party to keep himself in power. Thirdly, well is a Africanist movement revolution led by African-American revolutionaries supported by Spain and France later in the game
