The point of divergence

A United States that invests earlier in a professional military can turn the War of 1812 from a failed invasion into a conquest. But conquest does not end history. It creates files, resentment, occupations, habits, borders, and fifty years of delayed consequences waiting for the Civil War to reopen the wound.
