## **Earth 3(Mirror Universe)**

### **1. Benedict Arnold(1789-1797)(*Arnoldstown, Earth 2*)(Independent)**

Benedict Arnold took charge of the American Revolutionary cause after George Washington died from pneumonia at Valley Forge and the disintegration of his army, in the story "Arnoldstown" by Mitchell Cummings. In a series of brilliant campaigns, Arnold snatched victory from the jaws of near-certain defeat and went on to become the First President of the United States and its most revered Founding Father. The US capital therefore became known as "Arnoldstown, D.C.", with his name also being commemorated in the State of Arnoldia in the Pacific Northwest and numerous other placenames. The One Dollar Bill on Earth 3 bears the picture of Benedict Arnold instead of George Washington.

Henry McCarty, known in his wild youth as Billy the Kid had undergone at the age of 25 a deep religious experience, leading him to express a public regret and completely repent of his earlier career of crime. He took up a religious life, becoming a charismatic preacher drawing crowds in the tens of thousands. In 1904 he was elected President on a strict Law and Order ticket, At his inauguration he gave all criminals and outlaws in the US half a year to follow his example, renounce their crimes and iniquities and be "warmly received to the bosom of Jesus Christ". He sternly warned that any who missed this chance and continued on the Evil Way would be "hunted down and shot without mercy". He was as good as his word, embarking on exactly that policy half a year later.

### **27.Svengali: 1913-1915*(Trillby*).**

He's also mentioned in *Back to the Future: Part II* as President in the alternate reality. Allegedly he is said to have died in 1989. Richard Monkton single-handedly saved the Earth from an alien invasion by letting himself be abducted and experimented upon by extraterrestrials, and was for many centuries thereafter venerated worldwide as "The Savior".

## **Earth 6(Holy Brittanian Empire)**

The Position is instead Governor General-Since America is a British Colony

## **Governor General of the Confederation of North America**

### **George Washington(1775-1780)**

Colonel George Washington was part of a group of American colonists who met with King George III of the United Kingdom in the 1760s and were able to put in place an eleventh hour agreement with avoided revolution. Washington and the King were immortalized in a painting entitled *The Two Georges* by Thomas Gainsborough, which came to symbolize the friendship between the United Kingdom and the North American Union

As a General, George Washington was seemingly killed in the Battle of Doylestown during the short-lived resuming or the rebellion of the colonies in British North America in the 1770s. He seemingly died in the arms of Baron von Steuben. A seemingly insane individual who claimed to be a British diplomat named Benjamin Bathurst maintained that the American rebels were successful in their attempts to achieve independence and that Washington survived. Washington did indeed survive due to being an android, as the Governor-general of the North American Union, Washington implemented a policy which halted the westward expansion of European settlement for some decades and gave a chance to certain Native American tribes such as the Iroquois and the Cherokee to modernize and keep much of their lands. For that reasons, he greatly revered by Native Americans into the late 20th century. The Iroquois believed that he was the only white person to be admitted to their religion's version of Paradise. Conversely, he is considered a traitor by the nativist, separatist organization, the Sons of Liberty. He is also the namesake of the Province of Washington (analogous with Saskatchewan) and an NAU car marque.

### **Samuel Adams(1797-1801)**

In *The Two Georges,* he is one of the Founding Fathers of the North American Union while John Adams, his cousin, has an ale named after him, and was also executed for treason alongside Thomas Jefferson.

### **John A.B.C.Smith(1843-1849)(Unified Liberal)**

Scott was born in Virginia on 13 June 1786 to a planter family near Petersburg. By 1839, he had become a resident of Michigan City, and was serving as a general in the Indiana Army. When Michigan City was captured by an Indian army led by Chief John Miller on 21 July 1839, Viceroy Sir Alexander Haven called an emergency meeting of the Grand Council in Burgoyne to deal with the crisis.

Scott was placed in command of a united North American army, which he led across Indiana in the fall. Scott succeeded in recapturing Michigan City on 19 October, then proceeded to execute every member of Miller's army. At the official inquiry held after the battle, Scott stated that he had attempted to restrain his men, but was unsuccessful. Scott's subordinates claimed that he had given an order that no prisoners be taken. The court acquitted Scott, though it was popularly believed that he had been responsible for the deaths of Miller's men, and Scott became a national hero for avenging the deaths of 5,000 Michigan City inhabitants who had been killed by the Indians.

Scott was a delegate to the Concordia Convention of July 1841, along with Governor Henry Gilpin of the Northern Confederation and Governor John Calhoun of the Southern Confederation. The delegates agreed that Indiana's experience with the Indians might be repeated elsewhere in the C.N.A., and that a strong army would be needed in the future. The delegates also agreed to the need for a common currency and banking system. In August, the delegates issued a call for the Britannic Design to be amended to produce a more centralized C.N.A.

Following a similar meeting by leaders of the Conservative Party in Brant, Indiana in September, Viceroy Haven agreed to submit the proposals to the Crown. As a result, Parliament agreed in January 1842 to a special meeting of the Grand Council in Burgoyne in June 1842. Scott was a member of the Burgoyne Conference, and became the leader of the Liberal members of the Grand Council, while Willie Lloyd led the Conservatives. Although Scott and Lloyd differed on ideology, they were able to work well together to formulate amendments to the Design, which were accepted by large majorities of the delegates.

After the adoption of the Second Britannic Design in 1842, Scott was nominated by the Unified Liberal Party as their choice for Governor-General, while Lloyd was nominated by the National Conservatives. Scott stressed the opportunities of the frontier and opposed what he called "Conservative paternalism." The Unified Liberals won 91 seats in the 1843 Grand Council elections, ensuring Scott's selection.

In his inaugural address, Governor-General Scott urged goodwill and predicted a glowing future for the C.N.A. Although he warned of the danger presented by the United States of Mexico, he assured his listeners that "We are strong enough to defeat any enemy." He concluded by saying, "Now we are one. Our nation has survived a period of trial, and is stronger than ever before. There is no distinction between Indianan and Northern Confederationist, no disharmony of interests between Quebec and the Southern Confederation. These four states will help develop Manitoba, already a rapidly growing part of the Confederation. And all will defend Vandalia against those who would threaten her integrity. Now we are one."

Despite the warning in his inaugural speech, Scott sought peaceful relations with the U.S.M., a policy he shared with President Miguel Huddleston, although neither man discussed it publicly. Huddleston had sent his Secretary of State, Isaac Shelby, to Burgoyne to represent the U.S.M. at Scott's investiture. Scott had little taste for war, which he called "the worst form of human activity." However, his peaceful intentions were not shared by Gilpin, who had become Minister of War in Scott's Cabinet, and who was more influential among the Unified Liberal caucus in the Grand Council. Gilpin called for a contest with the "anarchists and half-breeds" of the U.S.M., and after Pedro Hermión's Scorpions in a Bottle speech in May, be began to pressure Scott to consider a surprise attack against Tampico and Jefferson City.

During his first year in office, Scott introduced a series of homesteading laws, and actively encouraged European settlement of Indiana and Vandalia. He assisted in the founding of the New York, Michigan City, and Pitt Railroad, which was designed to connect all major cities across the C.N.A. through a system of feeders, and was financed by Northern Confederation and British funds. He also urged the construction of another railroad linking Quebec with Georgia, but this did not take place. New banking regulations were passed to ensure the stability of the financial system in each confederation, and a national bank was planned along the lines of the Bank of England.

Despite the efforts of Scott and Huddleston, relations between the C.N.A. and U.S.M. continued to worsen, due to the discovery of copper in Mexico del Norte in 1843, and silver early in 1844 in the disputed border area between Mexico del Norte and Vandalia. Thousands of Mexican miners arrived from California and Jefferson, and 20,000 North Americans left the eastern Confederations and Indiana for the western border of Vandalia. Attempts to reach a settlement of the border failed, since both countries were able to produce evidence supportiing their claims, and each rejected the other's maps. The disputed Broken Arrow region was more than five million acres, or nearly 8,000 square miles, in extent, and contained some of the wealthiest silver deposits in America.

By 1845 open war had erupted in the Broken Arrow region between Mexican and North American miners, and armed bands from both sides destroyed the settlements of Kinsey and Morelos. Between February and June, 197 North Americans and 156 Mexicans had been killed, and Gilpin increased the pressure for war. In April, Scott and Huddleston agreed to arbitration of the disputed border by a three-nation panel consisting of representatives from the Germanic Confederation, Spain, and the Netherlands. The arbitration panel failed when King Miguel of Spain learned that his representative on the panel would be expected to state specifically where the border between Spain and the C.N.A. had been drawn in the 1799 Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle. King Miguel feared that doing so would risk bad relations with either the U.S.M. or the C.N.A., or even with both, so he withdrew Spain from the panel. Scott and Huddleston could not agree on a replacement for Spain, and the arbitration plan fell through, as did alternate plans, including a division of the disputed territory.

Scott sought support for his peace program from the National Conservative caucus in the Grand Council, but Lloyd refused to cooperate. "If Scott cannot control his own party, he should resign and allow Gilpin to take command. Better still, let him call a new election, so that the people may judge his party on the record." Scott chose to do neither.

In the 1845 Mexican elections held on 13 August, the Continentalist Party won fourteen seats in the Mexican Senate, ensuring that Hermión would take office as President of Mexico on 6 September. Scott called a secret meeting of his Cabinet on 28 August for further negotiations, but Gilpin was able to persuade a majority of the Cabinet ministers to support a declaration of war. Faced with a choice of resigning or accepting the Cabinet's recommendation, Scott chose to remain in office. On the following day, Gilpin sent word to his field commanders to make final preparations for a Mexican attack, and to put the army on a war footing.

In his inaugural address on 6 September, President Hermión said, "We do not want war with any nation, but we do not shrink from action when it is necessary. We know what is ours, and we mean to keep it." Privately, Hermión sent a message to Scott indicating that he would continue the search for peace "in the spirit of my predecessor." Scott called a special Cabinet meeting on 11 September to consider Hermión's message, and to ask for a reconsideration of the declaration of war. Before he could ask for a vote, the meeting was interrupted by Gilpin's aide, Captain Nathan Rusher, who reported that Mexican and North American troops had clashed on 4 September. Scott adjourned the Cabinet meeting without taking any action, and negotiations continued between the two governments, even as military activity in the Broken Arrow region grew in intensity and regularity. By the end of 1845, the two countries were fully engaged, though Sobel never says whether either side issued a formal declaration of war. Minister of State Bruce Harrison, who opposed the war, resigned from Scott's Cabinet.

During the first two years of the Rocky Mountain War, the North American Navy was able to blockade the U.S.M. with ease, and destroyed the small Mexican Navy. However, the North American Army suffered a series of military defeats in Mexico del Norte, Jefferson, and Durango. The North Americans lost some 80,000 troops to exposure and starvation in Mexico del Norte, and another 10,000 to disease in Durango. Sobel states that in contrast to President Hermión, Scott continually second-guessed his military commanders, "usually to their misfortune and detriment."

In spite of these losses, Scott was renominated by the Unified Liberals in 1848, and was selected for a second term after the 1848 Grand Council elections. Peace negotiations between the two countries continued, and several months after the election C.N.A. negotiator James Buchanan suggested an armistice based on the status quo ante bellem, with an election to be held in the disputed zone to determine which nation would control it. Mexican envoy Carlos Franklin agreed, and by November peace seemed to be at hand. However, Buchanan and Franklin could not agree on the details of the election or the status of the disputed area beforehand, and negotations broke down in January 1849.

Gilpin was unhappy with Scott's prosecution of the war, and after the Buchanan-Franklin talks broke down, he resigned from the Cabinet and called for a vote of no confidence, claiming that Scott was incompetent and lacked dedication to the fighting men. Between them, Gilpin and Lloyd were able to gain a majority of votes against Scott. However, instead of calling an election, Scott spent three weeks trying to form a coalition government with the National Conservatives, but was unsuccessful. When Gilpin's supporters in the National Liberal caucus voted to expel Scott from the party, he resigned.

### **Rev.Dr.John Calvin Sykes Jr(1993-2001)**

King-Emperor Charles III had appointed John Calvin Sykes Jr as the Governor-general of the North American Union, who had to deal with the political ramifications of the theft and ransom of the Three Georges painting and the attempted assassinations of the King-Emperor, both of which were in part orchestrated by the Franco-Spanish Holy Alliance.

## **Earth X**

### **John Nance Garner**(1933-1941)

In the alternate history novel *The Man in the High Castle* by Philip K. Dick, **John Nance Garner** was elected as vice president in 1932 as the running mate of Franklin D. Roosevelt. However, Garner himself was inaugurated as the 32nd President on March 4, 1933 as a result of President-elect Roosevelt's assassination by Giuseppe Zangara on February 15, 1933. He was re-elected in 1936, but failed to combat the Great Depression and the United States remained strongly isolationist. He was succeeded in the 1940 election by the Republican John W. Bricker, who also failed to confront the economic and foreign policy issues. As a result of their combined presidencies, the Axis powers won World War II and invaded and conquered the United States in 1948.

The Period in which the US fought Nazi Germany was far more devastating, leading to the deaths of Several Presidents, as well as infighting from Nazi loyal Presidents.

### **Charles Lindbergh**(1942-1943)(*The Man in the High Castle, GURPS*)

believed assassinated Post 1944.In reality survived.

### **William Dudley Pelley**(1945-1949)

In 1944 Japan attacked Guam, the Philippines and Hawaii; in the ensuing chaos the far-right **William Dudley Pelley** was able to get elected President. Pelley quickly assumed dictatorial powers, and his blatant theft of the 1948 election from Robert A. Taft triggered wholesale civil war. The president called for aid from Nazi Germany, which quickly sent 40 Wehrmacht divisions through Canada. The pro-democracy resistance collapsed after Werner Heisenberg developed the atomic bomb which was used on four American cities in 1950. A second attempt at rebellion in 1976 failed, and America ended up as a (very) junior partner of the World-Axis that dominates the planet and seeks to conquer other timelines.

### **Erwin Rommel**(1949-1956)(*Man in the High Castle*)

Mentioned as having had the position in the Man in the High Castle

### **John F.Kennedy**(1973-)(*The Proteus Operation*)

Elected in 1972. President Kennedy vows "not to give up a single inch of free soil" and engages in an increasingly tense Cold War with the Nazis and Imperial Japanese, facing the bleak possibility of either defeat in the coming hot war or the destruction of the world in a nuclear holocaust. In 1974, Kennedy sponsors a secret time travel project to send a special commando unit back to 1939.

## **Earth 11/Earth 63**

### **Susan B.Anthony**(1861-1864)(*Sliders)*

### **Benjamin Franklin Butler**(1869-1977)(*Bring the Jubilee*)

President of the United States after its defeat in the Civil War. Term of office was in the 1870s.Referred to as Butler, Most likely Benjamin Franklin Butler

### **Hosea Blackford**(1928-1932)(Democrat)(*Southern Victory Series*)

From the State of Dakota (in this timeline, the present-day states of North and South Dakota never came into existence, and their combined territory instead comprised the single state of Dakota), Blackford was inspired by Abraham Lincoln as a young man, and began a political career, becoming a Socialist and serving as congressman from Dakota. Ran for vice president in 1920 under Upton Sinclair and the ticket won over Democratic incumbent Theodore Roosevelt, who was running for a third term. The ticket was reelected in 1924. Defeated Judson Hammond for the presidency in 1928 by a narrow margin.

Blackford is unable to prevent the Great Depression in 1929. A war with Japan erupts in 1932, and the Japanese attack Los Angeles during a campaign rally. Blackford is defeated by Hammond in a landslide in the 1932 election. However, Hammond dies on January 5, 1933 (the same date as he does in reality) of a heart attack less than a month before he would take office. This results in Coolidge's running mate Joe Steele to become the 31st president on February 1.

Dies in 1937.

## **Alternate Presidents I Universe**

**Richard Saunders(1789-1792)(*Alternate Presidents/Doctor Who: Seasons of Fear)***

Richard Saunders was elected as the first President of the United States by the 1st United States Congress on April 6, 1789, defeating his sole opponent George Washington and achieving a clear mandate to govern in the process. In spite of the fact that Saunders was 83 years old and was rumored to have fathered numerous illegitimate children while serving as ambassador to France from 1778 to 1785, he ultimately won the election in part due to reservations voiced by prominent members of Congress such as John Hancock and Charles Thomson regarding Washington. They were concerned that it would set a bad precedent for the first President to be a general. Furthermore, Saunders's supporters stressed that he was well liked and respected by foreign heads of state friendly to the United States, had been prominent in matters of diplomacy and government at home and abroad and had already proven that he had the best interests of the nation at heart. When he was offered the presidency after his election, Saunders emulated Julius Caesar's stance, who denied the crown of Rome three times. Consequently, he only accepted the position on being offered it for the fourth time. He was inaugurated in Federal Hall in New York City on April 30, 1789. His vice president was John Adams who had supported Washington in Congress, as had his second cousin Samuel Adams. During his tenure in office, President Sanders attempted to create a more democratic society and managed to live longer than he did in real life. Shortly after taking office, he began to insist on organizing the government as if it were a business. In a letter to his wife Abigail Adams, Vice President Adams was scornful of the idea that a government "could run with the same dispatch and efficiency as a printshop." However, the notion proved to be extremely popular with the citizenry as President Sanders was often surrounded by his supporters, friends and former subscribers while walking through the streets of Philadelphia. Adams believed that his role as President of the Senate would mean that the vice presidency would soon eclipse the presidency in importance and prestige. In September 1789, President Sanders made a speech decrying ambition and avarice as the two principal sins besetting the United States. The speech, which was published in the *Philadelphia Gazette*, was popular with Quakers, small merchants and farmers but less so with the landowners and aristocrats who made up the Congress. Congress also moved to insist that Sanders limit his writings to only the most serious of topics so as not to adversely affect the dignity of his office. Although he outwardly complied, Adams was aware that he continued to write his satires and hoaxes, which he published under various pseudonyms. One of these was a playful satire regarding Great Britain's position on trade with the United States which was attributed to a "Mr. Newly." On being confronted by Adams about the piece, Sanders did not admit or deny writing it but "his eyes twinkled with mischief." Losing patience with the elderly president, Adams told him that he must accede to Congress' request to cease from publishing such ephemera as the United States had gained the upper hand in its trade negotiations with Britain and did not want it to be ruined by a trivial matter. To Adams' annoyance, the Newly piece had become very popular with the general public and encouraged them to support the trade negotiations. While this proved advantageous to the government in the short-term, Adams confided in his wife that could also serve to set a precedent which he and his colleagues sought to avoid, namely allowing the public control of their government. In defiance of Congress' numerous requests, Sanders continued to publish articles using pseudonyms. In one commentary published in March 1791, the President stated that a trade agreement with Britain should be reached with great alacrity. Furthermore, Sanders attempted to manipulate the public through these articles by voicing the opinion that proposed bills should be presented to the public before being presented to Congress. This led to Adams being accosted by a tavern owner who objected to the new duty on rum. Adams was concerned that, if this trend continued, he and his fellow politicians would be forced to the indignity of consulting their constituents before voting in Congress, which he regarded as an absurd notion which would delay the workings of government. In a letter dated April 29, 1792, Adams confided in his wife Abigail that he regarded Sanders as "a meddlesome old man" and was privately relieved that his advanced age meant that he was coming to the end of his life. When that day came, Adams stated that he and his colleagues would be able to get on with the business of government unhindered.

**John Adams(1792-1801)(*Alternate Presidents*)**

**Aaron Burr(1801-1836)(*Alternate Presidents*)**

The grandson of Aaron Burr as well as the son of Theodosia Burr Alston and Joseph Alston. In "The War of '07" by Jayge Carr in the anthology *Alternate Presidents* by Mike Resnick, **Aaron Burr Alston** becomes the 4th President on September 14, 1836 upon the death of his maternal grandfather, to whom he had been vice president. It is implied that the presidency will henceforth be a hereditary office, making the United States a *de facto* monarchy or family dictatorship, as Alston's vice president is Paul Aaron Burr. In reality, Aaron Burr Alston died on June 30, 1812 at the age of 10 due to a fever. His grandfather therefore outlived him by more than 24 years.

**Aaron Burr Alston(1836-)(*Alternate Presidents*)**

## **North American Confederacy Timeline**

**George Washington(1787-1794)**

The Whiskey Rebellion succeeds after Albert Gallatin intercedes to help the farmers rather than the fledgling United States government as he does in reality. This results in the rebellion becoming a Second American Revolution. This eventually leads to the overthrowing and execution of **George Washington** by firing squad for treason in 1794 and the United States Government being reformed. This included the Constitution being declared null and void, a new caretaker government being organized with all taxes being repelled in 1795, and the Articles of Confederation being revised with a much emphasis on individual freedom in 1797. After the war, Gallatin would serve as the 2nd and 7th president from 1794 to 1812 and from 1836 to 1840 with his actions later starting a libertarian state known as the North American Confederacy in 1893. Despite this, Gallatin insisted that historians would still count George Washington as the first president.

**Albert Gallatin(1794-1812)**

In 1795, a new caretaker government is established and a revised version of the Articles of Confederation is ratified in 1797, but with a much greater emphasis on individual and economic freedom. Following the war, Alexander Hamilton fled to Prussia and lived there until he was killed in a duel in 1804. Over the ensuing century, the remnants of central government dissipate. The government can no longer create money, only individual people can, being backed by gold, silver, wheat, corn, iron and even whisky. In 1803, Gallatin and Benjamin Martin arrange the Louisiana Purchase from France, borrowing money from private sources against the value of the land.

Thomas Jefferson successfully leads an abolitionist movement that leads to a peaceful end to slavery in 1820. Jefferson is also responsible for developing new systems of weights and measures (metric inches and pounds, among others) in 1800. He also devised a new calendar system in to honor the birth of liberty as the old year 1776 becomes Year Zero, *Anno Liberatis* (Latin for Year of Liberation). When Jefferson first proposed the new calendar system in 1796, he originally marked it to Gallatin's ascension to the presidency. However, Gallatin protested that the real revolution was in 1776 and that the Federalist period should be regarded as an aberration and that commemorating even by implication the overthrowing and execution of George Washington might set a hideous precedent (as Gallatin insisted that historians should still count Washington as the first President). Jefferson and Gallatin compromised and utilized 1776 as the new Year Zero.

**Edmond-Charles Genêt(1812-1820)**

**Thomas Jefferson(1820-1826)** Second President to die in office.

**Benjamin Martin(1826-1831)** Third President to die in Office.

**Lysander Spooner(1860-1880)** By 1986, half-metric ounce .999 fine silver coins were minted in his likeness. The absence of government interference creates a libertarian utopia where science and medicine advance at a significantly greater pace than in our baseline history. As Elisha Gray had already invented the telephone in 1867 (91 A.L.), Alexander Graham Bell instead develops a voder technology which allows chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans and other simians to communicate and prove they are sentient and the greater primates are granted citizenship rights equivalent to all races of humans. Later on in history, dolphins, porpoises and orcas reveal their sentience and join the land civilizations.

**Jean-Baptiste Huang(1880-1888)** Is of French Canadian and Chinese ancestry.  In 1888 (102 A.L.), William Hattison invents electrically heated streets.

**Frederick Douglass(1888-1892)** First and only African-American president.

**Benjamin Tucker(1892-1912)** In 1893 (117 A.L.), almost all North American Nations and territories (Alaska, California, Canada, Cuba, Mexico, Newfoundland and Texas, among others) join together to form the NAC, a new nation whose government has very little power and which allows its citizenry to do as it pleases so long as they do not violate anyone else's rights. The NAC is not involved in any major wars as a country, but a massive cohort of volunteers arises to fight whenever Federalist and Federalist sympathizers disturb the peace

**Albert Jay Nock(1912-1928)** The NAC sends volunteers during a conflict in Prussia in 1914.

**H.L.Mencken(1928-1933)** He killed his vice president in a duel and was subsequently killed himself by his vice president's mother, resulting in him becoming the sixth president to have died in office.

**Frank Chodorov(1933-1940)** Chosen by the Continental Congress to be president following Mencken's death.

**Rose Wilder Lane(1940-1952)** Second female president. In 1947 (171 A.L.), colored television is invented.

**Ayn Rand(1952-1960)** Third female president. During her presidency, she became the first president to travel to the Moon.

**"None of the Above"(2000-?)** In 2008, "None of the above" is elected president for life, presumably abolishing the office of the presidency.

## **Paine's Pain Universe**

**George Washington(1787-1790)**

conspirators led by the turncoat Thomas Hickey managing to kidnap **George Washington** in 1776 and deliver him to the British commander, Sir William Howe. Transported by a British warship, Washington was taken to the Tower of London, to await trial on charges of High treason. However, the revolutionary Thomas Paine secretly traveled to England and with the help of British radicals effected a dramatic prison break. Paine and the freed Washington boarded a ship captained by John Paul Jones, which eluded the Royal Navy and arrived triumphantly at Boston. Paine was venerated as a hero and appointed as Washington's second in command. Throughout the rest of the Revolutionary War the two of them together led the American forces. There was, however, a fundamental difference between Washington's conservatism and Paine's radical ideas, which came into the open once independence was achieved. Eventually, Washington and Paine became bitter political foes. Following the first presidential election in 1789, Washington was elected President and Paine - Vice President, but there was increasing friction between them which culminated in a violent clash in August 1790. Washington was killed by a militia supporting Paine. He himself denied responsibility and expressed "great regret" at Washington's death.

**Thomas Paine(1790-1792)**

In the aftermath, Paine assumed the Presidency but was regarded as an illegal usurper by a considerable part of the American public and initially sought to mollify his opponents and reach a compromise, but in vain. After surviving three assassination attempts and facing several armed insurrections, Paine saw no alternative but resorting to increasingly harsh measures against his opponents. These tarnished his reputation and earned him the nickname "The American Robespierre". In the face of mounting opposition, Paine tried to rally his followers, including radical intellectuals and working-class crowds, around a program of thorough social and political reform. He had some successes but was assassinated in November 1792, after issuing a Proclamation for Emancipation of the Slaves which he did not live to implement. After Paine's death, there was a sharp conservative backlash, Paine's main supporters being arrested or fleeing to exile in Revolutionary France. The Electoral College, recalled into Emergency Session, elected Alexander Hamilton as president. Hamilton swiftly proceeded to annul Paine's reforms and was re-elected president in 1793. Thomas Paine remained one of the most controversial figures in American history, some venerating him as a great hero and martyr while others regarded him as the most black of villains. At every crisis point in American history over the next centuries, from the Civil War to the Vietnam War and the Gulf War, Paine's name and heritage were inevitably evoked yet again.

**Alexander Hamilton(1792-)**

* Given his popularity, it is assumed he won a second term. He must have won the 1992 election, otherwise he'd only have been President for about a year.

## **The West Wing Presidents**

The timeline seems to diverge around Richard Nixon, who's term is the last one identical to our own. From this I conjecture that a special Election was called and the election was shifted to be an inverse of what it is in our timeline.However, Gerald Ford was able to secure another term, presumably because he likely did not pardon Nixon as much.

Richard Nixon(1969-1974)

Gerald Ford(1974-1979)

Santos won the party nomination on the fourth ballot and named former Labor Secretary and former White House Chief of Staff Leo McGarry as his running mate.
