Harry F. Byrd Sr. (Dixiecrat): 1963-1969 [10]
Storm Thurmond (Dixiecrat): 1969-1975 [11]
Jimmy Carter (Democratic): 1975-1981 [12]

Rick Perry (Conservative): 2011- [18]

[1] The economic depression of the 1880s and the decline of the Confederate cotton industry results in huge unemployment and civil unrest. Several states talk of seceding from the Confederacy.
[2] President Lee institutes martial law and calls a constitutional convention. In this convention, he strengthens the role of military and the power of the Presidency in relation to the states. This leads to several short rebellions which Lee crushes. Over the next twenty years Lee is essentially an elected dictator, holding the Confederacy together by constructing a potent ideology of anti-Northernism, support for slavery and economic reconstruction. In 1914, war erupts on the American continent.
[3] Lee dies, and his civilian Vice-President is thrust into power. The Confederacy, however, loses the war and is forced to secede territory in New Mexico, Oklahoma, Missouri and northern Kentucky. Riots break out across the country.
[4] To restore order, Congress and the state Governors decide to depose Blease. The Senate elects Senator Oscar Underwood President, who promises a return to "normalcy" and the old tradition of states' rights. He also controversially announces an official ban on slavery, which due to the decline of the cotton industry, now only applys to a minority of the black population who mostly are enslaved as domestic workers.
[5] A world depression wrecks the Confederate economy and leads to tremendous poverty and hardship.
[6] Populist Huey Long is elected President in a landslide victory and the economy recovers after a huge fiscal stimulus. Long also begins a process of rearmament and courts popularity at home by threatening the United States. In 1941, he launches a surprise attack on the United States. Two years later, with the Confederacy losing the war, Long is assassinated by a Northern agent.
[7] Brown negotiates a peace treaty with the United States, who are also busy fighting the combined alliance of Japan and Oswald Mosley's resurgent Britain.
[8] Hull campaigns on a return to peace and tranquility, painting the Populists as "warmongers". He is one of the most influential Confederate Presidents, negotiating a non-aggression pact with the United States and also the North American Common Market, a measure designed to promote economic prosperity and ensure against any future war.
[9] One of the youngest Presidents in history, LBJ presides over a period of unprecedented economic growth. He also strengthens the North-South relationship with the creation of a pan-American executive authority, the North American Community (NAC), to deal with regulation and the management of economic resources.
[10] A conservative reaction to LBJ's liberal racial policies results in the creation of the Dixiecrat party, who argue that the Democrats have betrayed their states' rights legacy. A black civil rights movement is brutually repressed by the government. Segregation is strengthened. This puts a strain on the North-South relationship.
[11] Unemployment rises with the structural decline of Confederate industries, Thurmond cultivates a widespread sense of fear and directs against liberals and blacks. The United States suspends NAC.
[12] Carter is elected and promises to end the recession and improve civil rights. However, the resolute opposition of Congress makes him a lame-duck President, unable to overturn the Dixiecrat settlement. The Confederate economy collapses and Wallace imposes martial law.
[13] Wallace returns the Dixiecrats to power and increases repression on civil rights protestors. Race riots erupt across the country, and the United States cancels the Common Market and leads an international embargo against the country.
[14] The young reforming Governor of Arkansas, Bill Clinton is elected to the Presidency. Through a long drawn out process of negotation and gradual reforms, Clinton eventually ends segregation and gives black people full voting rights. The government faces trouble from white supremacist groups, but public opinion turns against them after a failed assassination attempt on Clinton in 1993. The economy also recovers as Clinton invests in new industries. He also restores the North-South relationship and NAC. The entrance of black voters onto the political scene radically transforms elections in the Democrats' favour.
[15] Gore continues Clinton's legacy of social and economic reform, instituting Affirmative Action programmes which are widely seen as a step too far by moderate whites. He also negotiates a common currency with the United States, the North American dollar.
[16] Edwards models himself as a natural successor to the Clinton-Gore legacy, but his Presidency is destroyed by a scandal. He resigns in 2009.
[17] With Edwards' resignation, Jesse Jackson Jr., the son of the legendary civil rights activist Jesse Jackson, becomes the first black President of the Confederate States. This leads to a coded racist reaction from hardcore conservatives, who actively demonstrate under the banner of "States' Rights".
[18] Governor Rick Perry becomes President in a huge reaction to twenty-four years of Democratic rule. He runs on a programme of social and fiscal conservatism and emphasises the power of states over the federal government.

The Death of King George I

1. George Washington I of Mount Vernon 1785-1799

With the death of King George, dubbed by those on both sides as "The one man capable of sustaining the union", the nation fell into anarchy. His appointed heir failed to be crowned and the palace on Potomac was lit up in flames by rioters. To the North, a convention of the Society of Cincinnati declared its authority in restoring order. Led by First Chancellor of the Treasury, Lord Representing Manhattan, and newly appointed General Alexander Hamilton, New York City was captured from its state of chaos and eventually Albany was put under control by the Society. Meanwhile to the South, on his estate of Monticello, Lord Governor of Virginia and Advisor on Matters of State Thomas Jefferson, a man who himself had been quite opposed to the establishment of a monarchy, resigned his posts and, with a meeting of allies from Virginia and its neighbors to the South, organized the United Republic of America. With the Society of Cincinnatus gaining control of the North and the U.R.A. quickly gaining support in the South and West, civil war began.

With a much better organized military and support from the Atlantic Coast in states such as Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, the Society soon had the upper hand. However, they were unwilling to venture into the Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountain areas where Jefferson had gained support. An unofficial understanding had been reached by 1803, with the United Republic of America being relegated to an alienated and provincial power in Southern and Western America while the Society of Cincinnatus organized an official government in New York City, called the American Federation.

However, with the dispute between the powerful yet restrained American Federation and the loosely organized and provincial United American Republic winding down, veterans of the war, mainly on the A.F. side, began the demand for payment, either in tracts of land or in money. With that, First Lord Hamilton authored the Federal Proclamation Concerning Payment to Soldiers of 1803. This granted the right to lands in the Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois territories. With many soldiers jumping at the opportunity to claim estates of their own on America's Western frontier, a thing string of migration West began. On a cold Winter day in February of 1812, Winfield Scott, a veteran of both the War of Federation and later Indian wars, stumbled upon a camp made by Commander William Clark, deep in the Illinois Territory. Clark had been headed West to examine the Republic's new lands in Louisiana, claimed from its ally France. With this new encounter and subsequent conflict over rights to Western lands, the War of 1812 began.

First Lords of the American Federation
1. Alexander Hamilton of Manhattan 1801-1814
2. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of Charleston 1814-1825
3. Philip Hamilton of Manhattan 1825-1827
4. Stephen Van Rensselaer of Albany 1827-1839
5. Winfield Scott of the Northwest 1839-1860

Presidents of the United Republic of America
1. Thomas Jefferson of Virginia 1799-1807
2. James Madison of Virginia 1807-1815
3. James Monroe of Virginia 1815-1819
3. William Clark, Republican of Missouri 1819-1827
4. Andrew Jackson, Republican of Tennessee 1827-1835

4. Henry Clay, National of Kentucky 1835-1843
5. James K. Polk, Republican of Tennessee 1843-1847
6. Zachary Taylor, National of Lousiana 1847-1850
7. John J. Crittenden, National of Kentucky 1850-1851

8. William Walker, Republican of Sonora 1851-1859

Following the Resolution of the War of 1812, the two nations gained a detente of sorts, with the Republic's rights to the Louisiana Purchase being respected and the Federation instead expanding to the North and strengthening its own industrial and military strength, centered around the Great Lakes area. It was only with Lord Scott's abolition of slavery in 1853 and the ambitions of President William Walker to "save our fellow lovers of liberty in the Federation" that the two nations again went to war. This time the Federation held a distinct advantage, the type it hadn't held since the War of Federation. With a strong military and well fueled industrial center, attempts by the wild Republican militias to take over coastal and southern parts of the federation were ill-fated and in the process, the Republic was severely weakened in the Northwest, losing Illinois, Missouri, vasts swathes of the former Louisiana Purchase, and any claim to lands farther North. President Walker, in his final two years in office, devoted his time to expanding the Republic south into the Caribbean to make up for his country's massive defeat.

Following President Walker's grand failure, the National Party, largely powerless since the days of Henry Clay, pushed in Senator Abraham Lincoln of Kentucky in a land-slide. With announced plans to re-build the economy through a modern revitalization of Henry Clay's American plan, at this point including a national railroad spanning from Florida to the Colorado territory, increased tariffs, and subsidies to industries in coastal regions. With Lincoln's beginning of Reconstruction, involving the appropriation of funds to re-build infrastructure and government buildings, citizens of United Republic of America felt hope for the first time in a decade. However, entering a second term, a number of Lincoln's other plans, including a weakening of the slave power as well as having newly admitted states be free of slavery, proved controversial. Banding together, a group called the "Radical Republicans" took power in the Senate and managed to scuttle many of Lincoln's plans. It would only be under President Fremont the the Free Soil proposal was secured and a gradual abolition plan put in place.

To the North, with the conclusion of the war and the resignation of Winfield Scott from the position of First Lord, the wheels of politics once again began turning. As usual, the Federal council sought to elect a leader from among its own. A skilled general as well as a man of good upbringing, a good education, and the temperament to be the leader of a rising power. They selected noted general Philip Kearny, an experienced military man from a wealthy New York family who had served with distinction in the War of Southern Aggression. Kearny also had the distinction of having served as Lord Scott's bodyguard during the 1840's. While rumors abounded of Kearny's personal life, he seemed a good fit to lead the nation. During the next decades, both countries expanded and their economies grew. While the Federation saw a booming economy, fueled by industry and an impressive education system, the Republic recovered well under Lincoln and his successors.

Under Lord Theodore II of Oyster Bay, leader of the Federation filibusters in the Pacific and son of the late Lord Theodore I who himself was a distinguished soldier in the War of Southern Aggression, the Proclamation of Election was decreed and approved by the Federal Council, but only after years of cajoling. Basically stated, the position of First Lord would be abolished in favor of a Presidency. With State Councils voting instead of Federal Lords themselves, and on a schedule of every four years, it marked a radical change from the past.

First Lords of the American Federation

7. Theodore Roosevelt I of Oyster Bay 1872-1880
8. Benjamin Harrison of Cincinnati 1880-1900

Alternate 22nd Amendment
Inspired by sirnick's thread about a 22nd Amendment instead ruling out consecutive terms...

34. Dwight D. Eisenhower (R-NY)/Richard M. Nixon (R-CA) January 20th, 1953-January 20th, 1957
35. Adlai E. Stevenson II (D-IL)/Estes Kefauver (D-TN) January 20th, 1957-January 20th, 1961
36. Estes Kefauver (D-TN)/John F. Kennedy (D-MA) January 20th, 1961-October 14th, 1962
37. John F. Kennedy (D-MA)/vacant October 14th, 1962-January 20th, 1965

38. Richard M. Nixon (R-CA)/James D. Martin (R-AL) January 20th, 1965-January 20th, 1969
39. James D. Martin (R-AL)/Charles H. Percy (R-IL) January 20th, 1969-January 20th, 1973

40. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-MN)/James E. Carter (D-GA) January 20th, 1973-January 20th, 1977
41. Richard M. Nixon (R-CA)/Robert S. Dole (R-KS) January 20th, 1977-August 9th, 1979
42. Robert S. Dole (R-KS)/vacant, Charles H. Percy (R-IL) August 9th, 1979-January 20th, 1981


35. Adlai E. Stevenson, in a close race, beat out incumbent Vice President Richard Nixon. The margin was hair thin and hinged on Stevenson's homestate of Illinois. During Stevenson's four years, new government programs were enacted with the help of Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson.

Former Governor Adlai E. Stevenson (D-IL)/Senator Estes Kefauver (D-TN) 280 electoral votes, 49.3% of the popular vote
Vice President Richard M. Nixon (R-CA)/U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Henry Cabot Lodge (R-MA) 251 electoral votes, 49.2% of the popular vote

36. In another close election, Vice President Estes Kefauver was able to beat out Nelson Rockefeller for the presidency with a coalition of more rural Southern and Western states. However, in a surprise, upon assuming office, Kefauver would come out in full support of Civil Rights. Stevenson had already been making overtures to African-Americans for the last four years. However, it was assume Kefauver would hold true to his region, the South. Working hard with Senate leaders Lyndon Johnson and Everett Dirksen, the first piece of the controversial legislation was passed through Congress in March of 1962. However, the President's poll numbers had been badly damaged in the South and with the mid-terms approaching, Kefauver decided to whip up support from his betrayed base. On a Dixie tour in October, campaigning for Democratic candidates, Kefauver made a fatal stop in Georgia where he campaigned for gubernatorial candidate Carl Sanders. On a motorcade with Sanders to the steps of the state capitol, Kefauver was shot and fatally wounded. Rushed to the hospital, Kefauver was pronounced dead on arrival. In the mid-terms, Republicans sustained heavy losses and an even larger liberal Democratic majority was ushered in. However, in Alabama, an anti-Civil Rights Republican by the name of James D. Martin was able to beat the Democratic incumbent Lister Hill.


37. Sworn in immediately upon Kefauver's death, John F. Kennedy was an ironic successor to Kefauver. Much more charismatic, and a Northern moderate to Kefauver's Southern liberal, Kennedy had been much more cautious on Civil Rights and had in fact opposed them during his time in the Senate. Nevertheless, with the opportunity, Kennedy passed much of the remainder of Kefauver's agenda in early 1963. However, things would soon take a turn for the worst. With race riots occurring in several major American cities, mainly in the North, white rage was also fueled. Blue collar workers in cities like Detroit, Chicago, and Boston watched as it looked like the apocalypse neared. Meanwhile, as America's role in Vietnam was slowly escalated, details to the press were leaked of a much larger ongoing conflict than the public were aware. "This is no police action", a 1964 article of the New York Times wrote, "this is a full scale war." With the constitution ruling out a second consecutive term for Kennedy, the 1964 Democratic National Convention proved a blood bath. All this set the stage for the comeback of the former Vice President Richard Nixon.

38. Richard M. Nixon's return from political semi-retirement was an astonishing one. With the country descending into chaos throughout 1963 and 1964, Nixon had been able to get his name into the press as a potential candidate. Positioning himself as the "leader of the mainstream Republicans" (as opposed to fellow contender Barry Goldwater, "leader of the John Birch Republicans") and an expert on foreign affairs, Nixon was able to beat out Barry Goldwater and Rockefeller-supported Charles Percy in the primaries and secure a first ballot nomination. In order to hold down the South and appease the Goldwater supporters, freshman Conservative Senator James D. Martin was chosen. Meanwhile, the Democratic National Convention was a showdown between segregationist George Wallace, Kennedy supported Hubert H. Humphrey (billed by many as the rightful successor to the Kefauver legacy), Senate Majority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson, and anti-war candidate freshman Senator George S. McGovern of South Dakota. With Humphrey gaining the nomination, Nixon beat him handily in the general election.

Former Vice President Richard M. Nixon (R-CA)/Senator James D. Martin (R-AL) 382 electoral votes, 54.7% of the popular vote
Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D-MN)/Senator Henry M. Jackson (D-WA) 156 electoral votes, 44.8% of the popular vote

Nixon's presidency would be a moderate one. With Henry Cabot Lodge Jr. as Secretary of State and Henry Kissinger as National Security Adviser, Nixon's main goal by 1968 was to definitively end the conflict in Vietnam. "If we don't do this, Henry, by '68 the American people will have turned on us, the same way they turned on that bastard Kennedy". In domestic policy, Nixon would keep to his law and order promise and his administration would resist the desegregation of schools. However, he would also sign a number of liberal proposals on economics and environmental policy.


39. James D. Martin was to be the first conservative president since the 1920's. Beating out Nelson Rockefeller and James Rhodes in the primaries, Martin nevertheless chose a moderate Vice President, Charles Percy of Illinois. With Martin having served only two years in the Senate, Percy had what Martin didn't. Elected Governor of Illinois in 1960 and re-elected in 1964, Percy had also served as Nixon's Commerce Secretary and then been elected to the Senate in 1966. While Martin had secured the nomination easily and party unity had been established at the convention, the Democrats, as they were four years ago in 1964, were in a disarray. George McGovern, returning once again as an anti-Vietnam candidate, had been able to beat out Hubert Humphrey, Henry Jackson, George Wallace, and one-term Massachusetts Governor Robert F. Kennedy for the nomination. McGovern, in the hope of re-creating the "Kefauver Coalition" of 1960, chose Senator Albert Gore of Tennessee as his running-mate. However, a brutal campaign combined with a second consecutive year of the defection of conservative Democrats doomed the McGovern campaign. The final straw came in October when it was announced that President Nixon had reached a permanent end to the Vietnam conflict.

Vice President James D. Martin (R-AL)/Senator Charles H. Percy (R-IL) 408 electoral votes, 53.7% of the popular vote
Senator George S. McGovern (D-SD)/Senator Albert Gore Sr. (D-TN) 103 electoral votes, 44.9% of the popular vote

Martin, sweeping into office with the first Republican controlled House of Representatives since Eisenhower's first term, would attempt to govern American from the Right. Appointing Barry Goldwater Secretary of Defense and one-term California Governor Ronald Reagan Secretary of State, Nixon's detente crowd would be marginalized, with Kissinger demoted to an ambassadorial post and Lodge out of the cabinet completely. In order to accommodate conservative Democrats, Democrat John Connally was appointed Secretary of the Treasury and for a time George Wallace even held a cabinet post. In his term, Martin aggressively resisted school desegregation, heightened Cold War tensions with this scrapping of SALT negotiations, and appointed the most conservative bench in recent history. Among his accomplishments were the successful routing of Soviet-aided communists in various third world countries, dramatically cutting taxes, and appointing an advisory board to offer solutions to inflation which had been on the rise.

40Vice President Percy, following a grueling primary against the liberal Pete McCloskey, the moderate Governor Spiro T. Agnew, and the conservative Secretary of State Ronald Reagan, was badly damaged when he emerged from the convention. This was only propounded with the third party candidacy of former Agriculture Secretary and again-Governor of Alabama George Wallace. Despite President Martin's firm backing of his loyal Vice President, Wallace picked up significant support in the South. Meanwhile, the Democrats emerged unified with the re-nomination of Hubert H. Humphrey as their nominee. Choosing Senator Lloyd Bentsen of Texas for Vice President, the Democrats at last looked like they had a winning ticket.

Senator Hubert H. Humphrey (D-MN)/Senator Lloyd Bentsen (D-TX) 308 electoral votes, 43.6% of the popular vote
Vice President Charles H. Percy (R-IL)/Governor Spiro T. Agnew (R-MD) 171 electoral votes, 41.7% of the popular vote
Governor George Wallace (I-AL)/Former Governor Lester Maddox (I-GA) 59 electoral votes, 14.2% of the popular vote

40. Despite Hubert H. Humphrey's election, the Democrats were in no way sitting on a mandate. Elected with only 43% of the vote and a Congress only narrowly on his side, Humphrey nonetheless saw his inauguration as the first chance the Democrats had in years to pass their agenda. Relying on Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield,  a program of healthcare for children the age 16 and younger was passed, though with many revisions. With Senator Bob Dole leading Republicans against the act, he became a conservative leader in the Senate and only after his protests were a number of revisions passed under the leadership of Republican Hugh Scott. That proved to be the last of Humphrey's accomplishments as the Republicans, emboldened, managed to savage his proposals. With inflation steadily rising, a tax rate increase was passed in 1975, approved by members of both parties.

In honor of Senator George McGovern. This scenario supposes that Democratic operatives had found out about the Watergate break-in and Eagleton's problems a little bit earlier.

38. George McGovern/ Governor Jimmy Carter of Georgia (1972-1976)
McGovern's decision to pardon Nixon in early 1973 inspires a primary challenge from newly elected California Governor Jerry Brown. The challenge is unsuccessful. McGovern still loses reeelction.

The Bush dynasty is nipped in the bud, as George HW Bush is never appointed Liason to China, RNC Director or RNC Chairperson.

Gary Hart's political career is also somewhat different. He becomes a senior policy advisor in the McGovern administration, experience which allows him to run for Governor of Colorado in 1978.

39. Ronald Reagan/ Senator Bob Dole of Kansas (1976-1984)
The 1980 Democratic ticket is Senator Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts/ Senator Walter Mondale of Minnesota. They lose in a landslide.
Bob Dole wins the Republican presidential primary over Jack Kemp, and chooses as his running mate.
Newt Gingrich is elected to Congress in 1976. But he loses his bid for reelection in 1978, as well as an attempted comeback in 1980.  He goes on to become a conservative author, and right-wing radio host.

40. Governor Gary Hart of Colorado/ Senator Reubin Askew of Florida (1984-1992)
The 1988 Republican Presidential ticket is Governor Lamar Alexander of Tennessee/ Representative Sandra Day O'Connor of Arizona.
Rudy Giuliani is elected Mayor of New York City in 1989.
The Republicans get control of the House after the 1990 midterms. Dick Cheney becomes Speaker of the House.

41. Representative Sandra Day O'Connor/ Senator Richard Lugar of Indiana (1992-2000)
The 1992 Democratic Presidential ticket is Representative Dick Gephardt of Missouri/ California Governor Dianne Feinstein.
The 1996 Democratic Presidential ticket is Former Governor Bill Clinton of Arkansas/ Senator Joe Biden of Delaware.
Lugar runs for President in 2000, but loses the Republican primary to Senator Oliver North of Virginia. North eventually chooses former Speaker Dick Cheney as is running mate.

42. Senator Tom Daschle of South Dakota / Former Governor Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire (2000-2008)
The Republican ticket in 2004 is Senator Dan Quayle of Indiana/ Governor Rick Perry of Texas.
Jeanne Shaheen chooses not to run for President.

43. Senator John McCain of Arizona/ Governor Condoleeza Rice of California (2008-2012)
The 2008 Democratic ticket is Senator Evan Bayh of Indiana/ Governor Kathleen Sebelius of Kansas.
Considering his age, McCain chooses not to run for reelction.

The 2012 Democratic ticket is former Governor Mitt Romney of Utah/ Governor Barack Obama of Illinois.
The 2012 Republican ticket is Vice-President Condoleeza Rice/ Senator Roy Blunt of Missouri

1980 – Senator Edward M. Kennedy / Governor James E.Carter

2004 – President Al Gore / Vice President George Mitchell
2008 – Governor Hillary R. Clinton / Senator Tom Daschle
2012- John E. Bush / Willard M. Romney

Summary:
1972 – Watergate and Agnew’s criminal charges come out in September 1972 resulting in Spiro’s resignation from the Vice Presidency and George McGovern’s comeback in the polls and ultimate [narrow] defeat of President Nixon.

1976 – With Nixon criminal trial underway, the American people do not trust the Republican Party of Nixon. McGovern’s term has been decent with no major screw ups and he has ended the war in Vietnam.  McGovern goes on to defeat Governor Reagan in the general election by a larger margin than he defeated Nixon.

1980 – Vice President Eagleton commits suicide in 1977 and McGovern appoints Boston Mayor Kevin White as his Vice President. White enters the Democratic primary as does Ted Kennedy, who defeats White soundly. Kennedy’s integrity problems are made the focal point of the election and he narrowly loses to Gerald Ford.

1984 – Gerald Ford had been assassinated in his first few months in office. President John Connally would go on to have a successful first two years, but with an economic recession underway in 1986 to 1988, reelection would prove impossible.

1988 – Even though popular, President Bentsen would mishandle several foreign policies issues that would dog him to the end of the election where Connnally’s VP Guy Vander Jagt would defeat him.

1992 – One of the most partisan elections ever. Former Vice President Bill Clinton goes up against President Vander Jagt who created the partisan Contract to America. In a three way race Vander Jagt would narrowly win the popular vote but heavily lose the Electoral College to Clinton.

1996 – President Clinton was fairly well liked and his first term in office successful with the downfall of the USSR and an economic expansion. Former President Guy Vander Jagt would seek to defeat President Clinton in the Electoral College as well this time but never actually would. Clinton would defeat Vander Jagt for a second time this time with a majority of the popular vote and an even larger electoral majority.

2000 – Clinton Vice President Al Gore would defeat Senator John McCain in this election which was a referendum on the economy.

2004 – After botching the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq and small economic recession,  Al Gore was not in a position to win a second term.  Christine Whitman would become the first female President of the United States.
