First off, great map! It's extremely visually appealing! Secondly, East Tennessee's flag is awesome, does this mean that other American state flags are an improvement from OTL counterparts? Considering that reconstruction goes better ITTL and civil rights to African-Americans happen sooner I doubt that the Lost Cause mindset is as prevalent so what does this mean for southern flags that have Confederate symbols in OTL?
Thank you! And no, East Tennessee's flag is an exception. All U.S. State flags are still ugly, and even ET's breaks the rules still "no state seals on flags."
There is no Confederate imagery on any southern flag.
I'm guessing that there's no real 'First Lady/Gentleman' position in New England? I know parliamentary democracies generally don't have such a position, but it would've been interesting had that been one of the American influences on NE.
There is no such title, although "First Lady" is informally used. The spouse of the Prime Minister has no real functions and isn't known to take on a project of their own, which makes Bush exceptional in that regard.
@Kanan
I'm curious
1) Since the POTUS is still inaugurated March 4th, does Congress still meet on the first Monday in December?
2) I don't think it's been mentioned: Has any US Presidential election gone to Congress?
Congress does indeed still meet on the first Monday in December. Congressional and Presidential dates/times remain unchanged from Hamilton's first term in office.
Several have, but none in the 1900s or 2000s, and even then only once after the Civil War.
