What If Slavery Had Been Geographically Confined?", "1789: Could the
Articles of Confederation Have Worked?", "1801: Would Aaron Burr Have Been
a Great President?", "1832: What If the Second Bank Had Been
Rechartered?", and "1850: What If the Compromise of 1850 Had Been
Defeated?"; and Graham's "1887: Whites and Indians — Was There a
Better Way?", "1917: What If the United States Had Remained Neutral?",
"1933: What Would the 1930s Have Been Like Without Franklin Roosevelt?",

Roosevelt Had Lived?", "1963: The United States and Vietnam -- What if John
F. Kennedy had lived?", and "1974: What If There Had Been No Watergate?".
Extensive discussion on what actually happened is provided, followed by short speculation
on the possible results of a divergence.
