Hopeless Situation Warrior
Welcome to the world-building phase of RandNES 2! This NES will be based on Alternate History, where the point of departure is when in summer 1813, both President Madison and Vice President Gerry die, causing Henry Clay, the speaker of the House, to become President. After this, Clay sends more reinforcements up to Canada and rallying a large successful defense of Washington DC, led by a militia captain named Andrew Jackson. These victories divert more British forces towards America, causing Napoleon to win more victories in Europe after his escape from Elba, causing a much more pro-Napoleonic and pro-American end of the War of 1812. The point of departure is a little optimistic, but bear with me there. I have a rough timeline up to 1816, but after that, everyone will be in it together. The purpose of this thread is to construct the rest of the Alternate History timeline in an open, discussion-like atmosphere. The game will begin in either 1863 (50 years after the PoD) or 1876 (100 years after the Declaration of Independence).
