September 11th attacks from occurring by telling his past self about them ahead of time when he traveled back in time to 1999 with Stewie, originally to find a lost tennis ball. As a result, George W. Bush, without any fear to exploit, lost the 2004 election, possibly to John Kerry. Bush returned to Texas and reformed the Confederacy from nine unspecified Southern states. This triggered a devastating Second American Civil War during which 17 million people were killed in concentrated nuclear strikes along the Eastern seaboard. The original timeline was restored by the end of the episode but not before myriad versions of Brian and Stewie warn their past selves to either allow or prevent 9/11 due to the disastrous consequences of their previous versions' alterations to the timeline.[1]
military aid which almost led to a coup). His (fictional) grandson, Samuel Longstreet, served as C. S. Senator for Virginia and became the first Whig in Confederate history to lose a presidential election, following the victory of Freedom Party candidate Jake Featherston in 1933.
travels to China in 1972 (the first time a Confederate President would do so). His talks with the Chinese government would open the way for Confederate-run labor camps to be run in China, which results in cheaper goods being made and imported from China. However, that year on June 17, five men were caught placing wire taps at the Watergate Hotel in order to spy on the Confederate National Committee. As the investigation wore on, it became clear that the orders came from high-up. How high up was unclear until a mysterious anonymous source, using the code name “Dark Throat”, tipped off the CBI that Nixon gave the orders to place the taps. Under pressure from the press and the CBI investigation of the Watergate scandal Nixon was forced to resign from the presidency on August 8, 1974 (as in real life). During his resignation speech he reminded the public, “I am not a Negro!”. Still, years from the event, the mystery surrounding the informant “Dark Throat” is still speculated about. The most popular theory is that one of the White House slaves had overheard the President, and turn against Nixon by turning him in to the CBI. With the penalty of slaves turning against their masters in the Confederacy being death, it is unlikely the informant would ever even be known.[3]
CSA: The Confederate States of America, Ronald Reagan served as president of the Confederacy sometime during the 1980s, possibly as a Democrat. At one point in the film, a newspaper called CSA Today (a parody of USA Today) shows a picture of Reagan, reporting his appointment of John Ambrose Fauntroy V as C. S. Commerce Secretary. In addition, a blurb quoting a Canadian prime minister saying "Mr. Reagan, tear down this wall!" (referring to the 'Cotton Curtain

" in real-life). Mitchel would be the last Whig Party president of the Confederacy after Featherston's victory in the 1933 presidential election, defeating the Whig candidate Samuel Longstreet (the fictional grandson of James Longstreet).
Donald Partridge
President in the
Second Great War (1941–1944). He eventually became Confederate president after Jake Featherston was assassinated by Cassius Madison, overseeing the Confederacy's surrender to the United States after the war, unwittingly agreeing to the dissolution of the Confederacy (including the office of the Confederate President) and the subsequent annexation of its former territories by the US. Having served as president for one week from 7 July 1944 to 14 July 1944, Partridge's reputation and limited role in the Featherston administration may have spared him from the fates that befell more active members such as Attorney General Ferdinand Koenig or Communications Director Saul Goldwyn, who were both executed for crimes against humanity since they had helped Featherston in his "Population reduction
" of Black people in the Confederacy.
