Political

= Q:So...does this mean no Republicans or Democrats? = = A:YES (well maybe). =

There is only a certain possibility to this, let's recap. Before the Civil War, the Republicans had won, causing fear to the South had formed the Confederate States of America. The Democrats were nonexistent until the South was back into the US. Now that doesn't happen at all. What then? This may depend on the South's economy.

Scenario 1: This was where the South remained having an agrarian economy. How is this important? Due to the troubles with this type of economy, socialism may have been developed, then potentially in the future join the USSR due to the fact that the South may be poor, dirty, and unhealthy, but some small individuals may have the time of their life, so everyone could be treated the same if things do not improve, they will have to resort to joining the USSR for assistance and aid (unless the North intervenes).

Scenario 2: This was where the South followed the North and made its own industry-based economy. How is this important? With a better economy, the poor would live better than if they had an agrarian nation, but there is always a chance that it will join the communists but it may be lower since they are copying the North in this whole scenario. It is also lower because the South fought the Civil War having a weak federal government and stronger state governments, so the chance that they will be become communist (making the federal government much more stronger) is very, very, very low. The South may remain as a democracy and the government will not interfere so much.

Following scenario 1, there would still be a rare chance for them to want to join the communists but if that were to happen, then there was no need for political parties, once the USSR chooses a good candidate for dictatorship in the CS (Confederate States) and then successors will be chosen from then on, removing the need for any political parties. Following scenario 2, there is already a higher possibility of the South remaining as a democracy, it is often less corrupted than in communism and the South rarely has the need to use the federal government, only during a major crisis.

Next are presidents, now that the South is gone what presidents wouldn't be in the US? Let's see...
 * Andrew Jackson is a special case, even though been born in NC, he was a Unionist and did not went with the South on the independence train, so it is likely he became the next president for the North (assuming the assassination of Lincoln had occurred).
 * Woodrow Wilson, having been born in VA, he definitely would not be a future president.
 * Harry Truman, having been born in MO, he definitely would not be a future president.
 * Dwight Eisenhower, having been born in TX, he definitely would not be a future president.
 * Lyndon Johnson, having been born in TX, he definitely would not be a future president.
 * James Carter, having been born in GA, he definitely would not be a future president.
 * William Clinton, having been born in AR, he definitely would not be a future president.
 * Barack Obama is a special case, due to the two nations, it is unsure if they had expanded past their borders, and whether the North or South claimed Hawaii or not at all, so it's most likely he wouldn't be a president.



What about the North? They will probably keep the course of what really happened in history so they'll remain a democracy and hate communism and socialism with all of their blood, anger, and rage (and even with their weapons too).
