feel free to make of this timeline what you will and you can even feel free to make your own timeline from these if you'd like. I'll just need to finish the cabinets/shadow cabinets first and then I'll send everything to you if you want to make this a TL.

Why does Ed Miliband continue to run forever?

He constantly has the belief of it's his time and he's constantly pushed by some of the lesser left wingers in the party, though he has said that 2019 is his last try.

Following the signing of the Treaty of Madrid that ended the Southern War of Independence on May 17th, 1865, President Breckenridge immediately got on to work as a peacetime President, appointing Commander of the Mississippi State Guard (Formerly General of the Army of Southern Alabama) Jefferson Davis as his Secretary of War, Commander of the Arkansas State Guard (Formerly General of the Army of Northern Virginia) Patrick Cleburne as his Secretary of Defense, and Commander of the Virginia State Guard and War Time Adviser Robert E. Lee as Secretary of State.

Following the Treaty's signing, a new amendment was pushed, allowing for Confederates to serve two 6 year terms as President. President Breckenridge announced his intentions in Early 1867 and no one ran against him out of respect. He won all 141 Electoral Votes and all of the Popular Vote, being the only Confederate President/Presidential Candidate to do so. Under his Tenure, the Traditionalist Party (Founded : 1870) and the Readjustment Party (Founded : 1871) would emerge to disagreements within the Confederate Government. Secretary Cleburne would be the Chair of the Readjustment Party until his Presidential Victory in 1887 while Virginia Governor James Longstreet would serve as Chair of the Traditionalist Party until his election as President in 1873. He would be followed by Louisiana Senator P.G.T Beauregard.

Should I make infoboxes for the 1864 US Presidential Election and do a Mini-TL based on the political happenings of the United and Confederate States? The Civil War and everything non political will be posted here : http://alternate-timelines.proboards.com/

the 1873 Election for TTL's CSA. I'll do the 1879 and 1885 elections later.

What do the two parties stand for? And also why would Twain get into politics, and Confederate politics at that (IIRC he wasn't too hot on the Southern cause)?

1) The Traditionalists are the more Reactionary, Anti-Reform, Plantation Party while the Readjustments are the more centrist, reform-minded, industrialization party. Neither are very liberal, though that's to be expected in the CSA.

2) He actually briefly enlisted in a confederate unit in Missouri and had served in it for two weeks with his friends before it disbanded because MO fell into Union Control. He makes a friend of later GiC, Arkansas Senator, and 3rd President of the CSA Patrick Cleburne, who convinces him to run for his Congressional District in MO back when Cleburne was SoW for Brekcenridge.

His brother was the Secretary of State of Nevada when it was a territory and worked for Lincoln.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Twain

" He continued to work on the river and was a river pilot until the Civil War broke out in 1861, when traffic was curtailed along the Mississippi River. At the start of hostilities, he enlisted briefly in a local Confederate unit. He later wrote the sketch "The Private History of a Campaign That Failed", describing how he and his friends had been Confederate volunteers for two weeks before disbanding."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Private_History_of_a_Campaign_That_Failed

"a short, highly fictionalized memoir of his two-week stint in the pro-Confederate Missouri State Guard."

That's basically being supportive of the Confederacy. Seriously, thinking all families think in lockstep with one another and agree on everything is really idiotic. Just because Twain's brother worked for Lincoln doesn't mean Twain himself supported the Union cause. Twain was his own man, as was his brother, and because of that they had different jobs and opinions.

Now, can we please stop the argument about how Mark Twain supposedly wasn't in a pro-confederate military and get back to the real topic here, being the creation and posting of Election infoboxes?

Heintzelman gets chosen by the Anti-War House and Pope is chosen by the Anti-War Senate (Neither of the five parties have a majority, they work together to have this happen)

[Huey Long is a Republican]

Have you actually read, like, anything Twain wrote about his time in the militia? He makes it pretty clear in the short story that his enlistment had little to do with his personal politics, involved no actual fighting, and in any event was over in a few weeks.

He joined a state guard that was pro-confederate at the time. It might have had nothing to do with his personal politics, but that still doesn't underline the fact he would be a confederate in any alternate history scenario.

1868 : Grant Doesn't Run, Wade wins the Election















For anyone wondering why the Democrats don't win in this era, remember that OTL the Democrats only managed to win two presidential elections under very specific circumstances, circumstances that could be very different in this TL. This isn't to say that 1912 could see a Dem win the Presidency, which in all likelyhood is possible, but it's owrth noting this fact. As for Lincoln being President for 24 years, the Republican Party basically continuously nominates on the ballot in 1896, 1900, 1904, and 1908 and he just goes along with it to help his country before announcing that he won't run for President at all in 1912.

Uh oh.

Feel free to give thoughts and opinions on this. A french one might be coming soon.

What happened to the Liberals?

Decimated in the 1920s and we're pretty much absorbed into Labour by 1929.

yet another snipshot into the future for my second Lincoln admin TL, this time for France (the next update will come soon, I'm just working on a Google Spreadsheet detailing all the seats for the 1918 UK Gen Election and their results to get an exact number (Insanity, I know))

The Tipping Point State was Kansas, which Hughes won by 13 points. Initially, Wilson won both Wyoming and Ohio by a little under 416 votes combined, but after a recount was conducted by the order of Hughes, both states flipped to him, giving him a landslide victory over the President. President Hughes would later get involved in the First World War on the Entente's Side but would demand Germany be treated fairly at the Peace Negotiations or America would stop subsidizing their economies and demand payments on their loans immediately, making the Entente be less harsh on Germany as a result. The President would later lose re-election to Former Treasury Secretary William Gibbs McAdoo and his choice in Vice President, Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

This is for a potential TL I'll consider making around the same PODs for the Keys to the White House game I'll get started on later today. Thougts?

Let me guess: Huey Long runs as a third-party candidate?

Not for 1932

For my TL later down the road. Pretend it says Gubernatorial Election, not a Primary.

For a TL I hope to do eventually,

Josh Hawley wins 2024. That narrow Colorado margin and Hawley's margin in Arizona make me pretty sure of that.

You're right there. Just a lil extra, Hawley wins Florida by 19.2% due to a combination of factors that are working against Kamala there and he also wins ME-AL by 40K votes by expanding the margins in ME-02 and keeping it close in ME-01

Bush 41 walked so Hawley could run

At first, I didn't know what you were talking about but now I do. Lmao.

Nixon dies in a Plane Crash mid-late 1961, Reagan switches Parties in '61, Regan runs four years early

1966 See a vote split because Yorty barely wins the Dem Primary but Liberal Dems don't like that and splits the vote. Reagan winds up winning every county, some by a slim plurality, thanks to the vote split.

Also, Regan is one of three finalists on Rockefeller's 1964 shortlist (he picks Bourke B. Hickenlooper) and helps him make sure his loss isn't as bad as per OTL. He's the front-runner in 1968 as Goldwater says no.

Harris only wins California with just 60.4%? How much does she lose nationwide then?

Believe it or not, She loses the NPV by 4.2%. I did the math on Google Sheets and can share if you'd like.

Here's some Senate Elections for my 2024 TL in the 2022 midterms :

For the explanation on Georgia, More Moderate Democrats who didn't like Loeffler in the run-off for the special election looked into Warnock more and were taken aback, but they didn't like what they saw from Greene either, so instead voted for the Green Party, who, despite being a Justice Dem, seemed more reasonable then either of the two main candidates. Also, the GAGOP was successfully able to have the Libertarian Ticket removed from the ballot. More will be detailed in the TL.
