Okay, this is something from a legal perspective. One day, a discovery is made in a cave by someone exploring. Said discovery is a human skeleton. Closer examination reveals though that it is old, much, much older and there are primitive features. In fact, it seems to be a previously unknown...

This will be a relatively simple affair, and I can't tell you whether it will see as much action as I think it might, but I have entered Grad School at UMKC, for History, and so I might from time to time post completed assignments here, bitch about this or that bit of history, or otherwise...

At 1450 AD, all Native Americans across the two continents are made immune to European Diseases via ROB fiat. How does this affect history, and what ends up happening?

Gary, Indiana--nWoD, ??? The cigarette was stuck in his mouth, unlit, as he looked upon the world. The city was beautiful, he guessed, in the way every city in the world was beautiful. That’s what it was, after all. Hunter wasn’t used to cities, not really. When he wasn’t dreaming, he lived...

I have been looking through a series of articles and have recently been studying the beginning of the U.S civil war. During looking through an article I found myself coming across a repetitive cycle about how this is a war about slavery. But as you read further into the war there seem to be two...

@ondine introduced me to Hamilton the musical probably a year or so ago, and I listened to the songs and I thought they were fantastic. But I don't think they're accurate representations of the man Alexander Hamilton really was. It's a great musical, but in the end it's something which carefully...

Miami, Florida - August 5, 2016 The city of Miami! What could be said of this place that is not gushing with praise? To the public eye, it is a lovely seaport city on the Southeastern corner of the United States and the fourth-largest urban area in the nation. One of the region’s greatest...

Presumably, everyone on this board is familiar with the age-old game of RISK. You and seven of your closest friends, one map of the world, and a few sets of dice to simulate WORLD DOMINATION. This is not traditional Risk. This is AMERICA RISK. As is apparent, this particular game of...

The bombs fell and the world as we knew it ended, but the year is 2666 and a new world has emerged from the ashes. Forged from the incomplete histories left behind new dominions arose to fill the power vacuum and in this previous union of states new religions and cultures were birthed. We are...

So lately I've been swept up in the musical Hamilton (or at least its soundtrack) and it's lead to one historical question that's come to bother me. Why was it John Adams who ran in 1796, while Alexander Hamilton stayed on the side? From what little I've read, Hamilton had greater clout in the...

There's basically no place for discussion of live performance stuff or non-visual recorded media, so this is probably the best spot for this thread. So, Hamilton. As in, Alexander Hamilton. Founding Father, man on the United States' 10 dollar bill, First Secretary of the Treasury, most...

Found this interesting old video on YouTube, uploaded by the CIA, on the Soviet perspective on the United States of America. You know what I find hilarious? A lot of what the (likely CIA agent) narrator describes as "Soviet manipulation"... when a lot of what the Soviet media describes...

This is set from first contact. For example smallpox gives them a mild rash for a week.

Now, we are all familiar that the post Colombian contact brought many virulent diseases to the New World populations who had no acquired immunity or mechanisms to fight the diseases and thus suffered immense population loss, social disruptions and what not. But what if the Natives also had...
