ROBERT'S
ALTERNATE HISTORY PLACE
MY
"MUGSHOT"
American
by birth
SOUTHERN
BY THE GRACE OF GOD!
Hello!
My name is Robert Perkins and I would like to welcome you to my personal homepage,
devoted to
one of my prime interests, ALTERNATE HISTORY.
What
is alternate history, you ask? Well, as Doug Hoff has written...
"Alternate
history is speculation, speculation about what might have been had things
happened differently.
History is full of forks in the road, and the world we
live in is a result of the paths taken in the past.
But it did not have to be
that way."
On
this site you will find alternate history timelines I have written, as well as
links to alternate history websites
that I would highly recommend. Enjoy!
MY
TIMELINES
THE
BLACK AND THE GRAY
What
if the Cleburne Memorial had been released to the press in January 1864?
BRITONS
TRIUMPHANT
What
if King Arthur had been able to establish a dynasty of strong hereditary High Kings in
Britain?
ANCIENT
EGYPT SURVIVES TO THE PRESENT DAY
What
if Pharaoh Necho II and his successors of the Saite dynasty in Egypt had been
able to establish control
over the gold mines of Southern Africa?
THE
THIRD HITTITE EMPIRE
What
if the Neo-Hittite States of Syria and southern Anatolia had combined into a
unified Kingdom?
INTO
THE VALLEY OF DEATH
The
Puckle Gun and the Ferguson Rifle lead to a revolution in military equipment in
the early 19th century,
resulting in a much bloodier American Civil War.
THE
GUNS OF THE TAWANTINSUYA
What
if a priest in the ancient Peruvian city of Chan Chan had accidentally
discovered gunpowder...about
500 years before the arrival of the Spanish?
ROME
DESTROYED IN 450 B.C.
What
if Rome had been destroyed in 450 B.C. and had never gone on to dominate the
Mediterranean world?
WHAT
HATH A WARM OVERCOAT WROUGHT?
What
if a firm Federal response had been made to Northern efforts to nullify the
Fugitive Slave Act and the
Fugitive
Slave Clause of the Constitution?
STARS
AND BARS FOREVER (OR "EVIL CONFEDERATE WANK")
A
very "tongue in cheek" timeline I wrote, as a reaction to various debates I have
had with those who feel
the Confederacy is the root of all evil and that if the
South won the Civil War, slavery would exist forever.
Okay,
so how bad could it have gotten?
WARNING...some viewers may find parts of this
offensive.
