What would a Medieval America be Like?
I like this idea and am kind of running with it on my own. So the Puget Sound and Portland being a Hanseatic league form a hansatic league for unified defense against raiding Tlingit tribes from Alaska. would be the west cost verson of Vikings along with mountain raiders from the east. And fighting with the Mormon Theocratic state over what's left of Washington and Oregon.
Using Cascadian Gallowglass and Idaho Huscarls clans as mercenaries in their wars.
And San Francisco being like a west coast Venice with the central valley being like their version of Domini di Terraferma.
With all sides highering vaquero horse archers/lancers as a southwest version of Greek Stratioti.
And since the cascades are a temperate rainforest, and the locals could wear wide brimmed hats like the Pacific Northwest first nations people did. Or maybe since we are going medieval, would dress like northerner German and Scandinavian peoples did.

Interesting stuff. S.M. Sirling wrote a series with this premise a few decades ago. Premise was that some supernatural deities wanted to save humanity so they disabled all pos-medieval technology. America then reverted to various social and old tech forms of life depending on who was in charge. th professor of medieval history who taught the biker gangs to be feudal was especially funny.
ReplyDeleteI'll see about hunting it down. If I games it, I probably would've just magic it into being.
