Thanks guys.
And yeah, it's really fun to work those little bits of humor in there.
Kinda sad I couldn't squeeze the word 'frumpy' in on the final version but whatever.

Both, sort of. They don't so much legislate, though, as turn the propositions approved during the quarterly referenda into law, and oversee the carrying out of those laws. They're elected annually, and longevity in office is not considered a virtue in New Wales.
Certainly doesn't bode well for the old south, but it might just bode slightly less terribly for southern blacks.
Stevens probably wouldn't want to leave his post as the de facto overlord of the House. He's also radical enough that he might just be unelectable, even in this environment.
That does seem like a probable outcome of it. There were a lot of very radical proposals for Reconstruction that we have Andrew Johnson to thank (or blame, as the case might be) for averting.
A preview of a timeline I'm working on where the Lib Dems win in 2010. Obviously, it has ASB elements...

TNG has a casual mention that Spock was married again at some point in the 24th century, but they never followed up on it.
Really? I don't remember that but it's been a while since I watched TNG.

The old guard of the PRI retaliate against the increasingly open new party leadership, which up until that point had been winning the elections by smaller and smaller margins. The PRI candidate, Francisco Labastida, is put through a heavily rigged election amidst strong domestic protest, "defeating" Vicente Fox. The election is, of course, contested and heavily condemned by the world media. Further condemnation comes to the party after Labastida turns out to be a terrible leader. The economic woes of the Zedillo years continue unabated, the increasing privatization and neo-liberalist trends leads to increased economic imperialism and lower standards of living, while corruption runs rampant and deals are again being made with narco lords.
Throughout Labastida's term the country is in turmoil. Out of this chaos, and especially in response to the rampant privatization, the Labor Party, led by Alberto Anaya, finds great popularity. The first sign of this backlash occurs in 2000, soon after Labastida's election, when Anaya on the PT ticket wins the gubernatorial election for the state of Morelos. Anaya's programs of public welfare and de-privatization in the state begin to greatly improve the economy of Morelos, and the PT soon becomes the main icon of the anti-PRI movement.
In 2006, at the end of Labastida's presidency, Anaya runs a vigorous campaign throughout the country to unite the people against the PRI and behind the PT. Many who would have thrown in their lot with the PRD instead join the PT, and several Mexican far left parties, including the PRD, negotiate a coalition with the party.
Anaya's election to the presidency has been called the "September Revolution", and represents the ignominious fall of the PRI and the celestial rise of socialist and Eurocommunist tendancies in Mexican politics. The Communist Party of Mexico is renewed and manages to score 5 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and 2 in the Senate, while the PRD also becomes a major force. Under Anaya's administration, Mexican oil is renationalized under Pemex, Telemex and Azteca are renationalized, and state welfare is reinvigorated. After years of deals with drug lords, the Mexican government begins serious efforts to curb their influence and activities using military force when necessary. The Mexican political apparatus is democratized and the 1917 Constitution reinvigorated with several equal rights amendments and economic statutes.
The enormously popular PT and its allies would win again in the 2012 elections against the broad "Nationalist Coalition" led by the PAN.

The single largest ethnic group in AJND America, black Americans, who comprise 8.97% of the total population (German Americans are the third largest at 5.72% behind Mexican Americans at 7.69%).
Woah, Minnesota with a large black population? Don't think I've ever seen that before.
I think it may have had a larger population back in the early 20th century, but that it may have declined since then. Not sure, though.
Ah, thanks for the link.
I noticed it was 0.6 in 1850 but 0.2 in 1860. Not sure what this means, though, if anything.

No problem. They are actually growing in size, being about 5.2% of the Minnesota population in 2010. Part of a larger trend from the South to the North or West.
Maybe a lot of Free Blacks were kicked out? Some Western states, and others but I know of the Western ones, refused to allow them in, and carried fines and flogging for those who stayed.
Perhaps. Many U.S. state constitutions in the mid-19th century had clauses forbidding them from entering the state.
Not gonna lie, I laughed pretty hard at Vince Young being one of the most notable Black-Americans ever. OK, it's not actually him, but I still laughed
