Hangman was originally a list of US presidents, but then a colloberative timeline based on that list was formed, which failed, however, I'm am now going to finish what I started, alone, in Chaos style.
Suggestions are always welcomed.
Some PoDs are taken from other posters in the original collaborative Hangman
The 1870's Part 1
March 17th 1871- Ohio Governor Rutherford B. Hayes is assassinated by an unknown killer, John c. Lee becomes governor. (PoD)
November 16, 1872- Missouri Senator Francis Preston Blair, Jr. struck down by paralysis (originally written by Solomaxwell6)
November 29th 1872- Presidential nominee Horace Greeley dies after the popular vote but before the electoral vote. As a result, the Radical Republican electors are split, leading to a more or less uncontested victory by incumbent Grant. (originally written by Solomaxwell6)
January 1873- The Missouri state government votes for Senate. Due to his paralysis, Blair has lost much political support. Congressman Parker gains appeal due to his honest dealings and support among the population, as well as his status as a staunch Republican in a time when the political affiliation of Missouri was beginning to shift to the Democrats. (originally written by Solomaxwell6)
January 21st 1873- President Grant says that Senator Parker is "The kind of man who always knows what to do when he's needed." this quote becomes a cornerstone of Parker's political career.
January 1st 1874- Surprise candidate Robert E. Lee Jr. becomes Governor of Virginia.
