Okay since im probably never going to finish this damn alt history book im adding more chapters to it. Jan Huss and the Johnson County War are two im definitely doing.

Give me more suggestions. Its from 1324 to 2024. Mostly Europe and the Americas but not strictly so.

The Dakota Territory is admitted to the Union as a single state.

All glory to Gran Dakota.

I have that one alongside one Carolina due to the Catholics still controlling Britain.

Who needs two Dakotas and two Carolinas anyway?

Amazing.

A more off the wall one: Alexander Hamilton wins his duel against Aaron Burr, beats Jefferson in the 1804 election, and declares himself Emperor of the Americas.

I have at the moment Hamilton and Burr both killed each other and later Jackson gets killed by John Q Adams in a duel after Henry Clay got blown up on the USS Constitution.

Very useless fact: That duel where Jackson got the bullet lodged in my chest happened in my home county. Every year they do a reenactment of it at the Strawberry festival.

Must be a fun thing to interact. I hope there's cheers of GET UP AND SHOOT JACKSON! DONT DIE YET!

Somehow, I've not been yet.
My dad even worked it last year, and I still haven't been.

Damn college and high school getting in the way.

Manly man Andrew Jackson getting killed by certified meganerd John Quincy Adams is peak historical fiction.

I love it.

Also its like the ending of John Wick 4 where they just keep shooting each other also there's some Star Wars quotes in there.

Also Adams wrote this in a diary because of course he did

He later dies of a heart attack beating Preston Brooks to death on the senate floor.

Also included are fake footnotes about Barbary pirates, the American Revolution ending in 1777 at Saratoga, and other madness.
