They did convert the natives though

Yes but negligable settlers

The U.S. would have made the Alaskan territory part of lend-lease or otherwise for it's assistance to Russia

I think longterm it would've become more Russian like Siberia did become

I wish they had just annexed cuba

I did enjoy your video yesterday

thanks

I have not read those books

However during the civil war it could've hosted a government in exile

Oh are you talking to someone else

lol

but I did watch Alt History Hub do videos on it

no you

Oh right

and I like hearing about it

also did you see my comment lol

I think so

```"Southern blacks just kind of run rampant across burning and looting, and setting up their own little socialist pocket states." - Just like our own timeline. You are right about Turtledove using real events for the 919 timeline.```

I thought that was pretty clever

Not annexing the Phillipines was a really really good idea

Cuba I think might have worked out

yeah, the Phillipines were a disaster

Cuba sure

I think Cuba has gotten a lot blacker since the revolution

I've heard so too

A lot of whites left

Then race mixing

If only https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Walker_(filibuster) had suceeded

Super LARPer

It's amazing how close people like him came to succeeding though

I think Nicaragua actually was under the control of someone like him

Also there's actually a somewhat recentish example of this

That would have been a shit show

Like Pannama or Castarica

might have worked out

David Duke once tried to overthrow the Dominican government reinstalling some old leader

I think they called that one the Bayou of pigs

I'm not making this up

Ya

It also involved the founder fof Storm Front
