A Fork In Time: The Alternate History Podcast
Explore the realm of alternate histories as we explore the "what ifs" that can flow from history's most pivotal moments. Each episode will focus on a specific moment in time--the fork--where history could have taken a different path. A Fork In Time encourages contributions and participation by our community of listeners who have become an integral and vital part of the show.
This feed is also the home of our companion show, The Room Where It Happened, featuring the team looking at significant historical events without the alternative prespective.

Episode 0036—American Hannibal (Part 2)
Part 2 of 2
The US Presidential election of 1800 was one of the most unique with Thomas Jefferson being elected after the confusion of a tied vote in the electoral college and Aaron Burr becoming Vice President after a contested and controversial process in the House of Representatives.
What if a "rogue" elector had cast his ballot in a different way and Aaron Burr, who had been the nominee for Vice President, had actually been elected as President by the Electoral College and become the leader of the US the early years of the 19th Century?
