The reason that part of Grafton is very Democratic is because Hanover is home to the very prestigious Dartmouth University, and education is basically the dominant industry — in the United States such places are almost uniformly (really except for Mormon schools, evangelical schools, or...

Islam fails to meaningfully take off, and the Arabs are eventually Christianized, but an alternate monotheistic religion arises in Scandinavia, and eventually is spread by much more virulent Viking Conquest to most of northern Europe and North America. Might include a much earlier Columbian event.

Do you mean Superia? Because we know they make it to the 1990s, and as long as they manage to play the Russians and the ENA off against one another...

Very excited to see this timeline back!

I'm obviously quite late to the party, but fantastic update, Thande! I'd missed it when it'd gotten posted.

I missed that this was back. Excellent update, Thande, and I definitely look forward to the e-book!

That was all the things we know, love, and miss from LTTW. Fantastic update, Thande.

I don't think French Louisiana actually has any claim over that territory at all; the Kingdoms of Carolina and Mexico just insist that it belongs to the other so they can claim to control the other, more desirable territory; rather like the situation in OTL between Bir Tawil and the Hala'ib...

Love the hint into the future that Russian will be spoken in India. Certainly seems as though the RLPC's adventures have barely even begun. Very well done update, Thande!

Oh, that makes sense. Yeah, Landrieu's was the last Senate seat like that; the last Republican who held it before Bill Cassidy was William Kellogg, who ran for the House in 1882 instead of for reelection to the Senate because he knew he had no chance to be reelected by the heavily-Democratic...

Most majority-black seats in the South have not voted Republican since Reconstruction; during Jim Crow, they voted for white Democrats, and afterwards they've elected black Democrats. For example, GA-2 has remained consistently Democratic ever since it was picked up in 1874. Also, I hate to...

A very nice two updates there, Thande, and a very evocative WW1 reference as well.

Man, I am behind on those election results. I haven't even done 1844 yet, and obviously these next two have both seen significant shifts. I don't think I'll get to it before spring, either. Another great update, though I'm not quite clear on the referendum in Carolina -- was it just a...

Fantastic update once again, and I'm quite curious as to who it is Freddy will pick.

It's BAAAACK!
