This Bloody Union: An Alternate History of America (Paperback)

In 1787, America made a crucial decision that would affect the continent forever. In this alternate history, Congress doesn't adopt the Constitution, and soon, just as Alexander Hamilton warned the states break apart into independent republics and confederacies. In the north, The New England Republic reigns, The Penmarsey Confederation on the East Coast, and the massive Southern Republic controls vast tracts of land in the south. Through war, diplomacy, rebellion, and bloodshed, these nations must come to terms with the decision they made so many years ago. In place of a constitution, these nations form The American Union, which acts as a diplomatic summit they all attend to make life or death decisions. From waging war, quelling rebellions, facing down Empires, or each other, The American Union is a chaotic scene of clashing ideals. Following a wide cast of characters including the famous founding fathers such as John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and James Madison, it also looks at less well known individuals such as Albert Gallatin, Robert Morris, Aaron Burr, and Thomas Clayton as they interact with this broken America.
