The McCain currently President of the United States is John McCain Sr., the grandfather of the John McCain known IOTL. His son is as OTL, as he was born in 1911, but the President's grandson is half-Samoan. This is a change from what I currently have in the writeup, but it makes more sense this way.



New Orleans is not a terrible place to live. The Ottomans have industrialized, and life there is stable, if not always pleasant. Attempts to convert the population of Louisiana have gone surprisingly well, and the province is maybe 30% Muslim (higher in the city). Aesthetically very interesting as Jazz and the like have flourished, but with Ottoman and Arab influences.
