>Post Civil War

Not really. Maybe a large-scale communist rebellion at some point before the end of WWII, but that's about it. After the Civil War, Yankee America was too stable to fail.

Before the Civil War the biggest threat was the War of 1812. If the British had waged war in earnest on America, they'd have probably devastated them and Tecumseh would have gotten his Aboriginal Nation around the contemporary American Great Lakes States. There was also the possibility that either Texas or California would have never joined. California could have even been a rival against America expanding to the Pacific, although that's an incredibly unlikely scenario.

Dubya broke the curse, prior to him every president elected in a year with 00's died in office. We came close with the pretzel incident, and I remember reading about them replacing the bulletproof glass in the oval office during his term because they had shot at.

BUT even assuming Bush did die in office, Cheney was the architect of anything from the entire administration, to the war in iraq and afghanistan (depending on how much tinfoil you feel comfortable wearing). So at least the first term would go pretty much the same as it did, the only real question is if cheney is capable or willing to run running for office in '04. The guy is wicked smart but has all the charisma of carbonated diarrhea.
