Tea, Guinea Pigs and Racoon Dogs: A Timeline

and so the Age of Man fell at the feet of Rabid Animals
 
Interesting - coffee being destroyed as a crop means colder Anglo-American relations, and the whole guinea pig business will change the lives of a lot of people...
 
The Election of 1872

Grant had come into office due to his popularity. A Great Civil War General, who fougt numerous successful battles.

The Panic of 1867 had shown his inability to cope with economic problems, however. The stock market came pretty damn close to collapse, and Grant slowly responded, even vetoing a stimulus that would put a good $100,000 into the economy. Worse, Grant was thinking of reelection. The Public couldn't stand it.

Liberal Republicans and Democrats had offered Jeremiah S. Black to be the next President, mostly because the alternative was the foolish Horace Greeley. He turned out to be a strong campaigner, slandering the former General as 'For the Well-to-do, not for the suffering'.
Despite being popular in the South and in Pennsylvania, Grant won the electoral vote.

Hatred simmered in the south...
 
but President Black sounds so sexy!!!

could we see another civil war???

Well, there is certainly going to be some violence, altough if I told you, it would surely not be a surprise.

on a seperate note, are there any other comments?
 
The American Worries grow
Two major events rock America's boat once again, one involving another major disease.​

Equine Influenza emerges in Ontario, 1872, quickly reaching epidemic levels. America and parts of Canada are shut down without healthy horses and their use as an urban mode of transport. James Law, commissioner of Agriculture, described the disease as:​

James Law said:
"An epizootic specific fever of a very debilitating type, with inflammation of the respiratory mucous membrane, and less frequently of other organs, having an average duration of ten to fifteen days, and not conferring immunity from a second attack in subsequent epizootics."

Secondly, just after Federal troops were pulled from the South, the Great Fire of Atlanta ignited. It was believed to be started by disgruntled Army members, it tarnished Grant's reputation even moreso.

The North and South were both bouncing back, The North on Gold and The South on Tea, but the South had a head start, shifting sentiment away from the Union towards The South. Klan sentiment grew, as The Southerners became more spiteful to the North.

They tossed out their Republican State Governments, and installed their own Democratic governments. Nathan Bedford Forrest began to compete with Grant in the South For popularity, and some in the North began to worry about KKK infiltration into the Southern Government.
