Hi all,
I've been visiting this site for quite some time and have always been interested in alternate history. One of my favorite periods to think about is the early United States, specifically, when the Articles of Confederation were falling to pieces. I firmly believe that there are numerous ways in which the United States could've gone if the right people WEREN'T there at the right time.
Lately, I've been pondering if George Washington sustained a severe injury and wasn't able to make the Philadelphia Convention and if, say, Roger Sherman were to die before he'd make the Convention to propose the Connecticut Compromise, what are some possible avenues the constitutional question could go? Maybe we see a United States with some government akin to the Virginia Plan? Maybe a rump United States?
Best,
Mr. Havana
