Did they manage to not go Freedomite ?
Also is there a Mount Rushmore and if so who is on it ?
Also who is on the American currency in 2022 ?
and what about Gene Roddenberry and Rod Serling ?
The family, unlike many other families from Cuba’s local landowning aristocracy, was opposed to the Freedom Party. However, they kept their opposition quiet. It wasn’t until the end of the Second Great War, when the local rebellion was all but certain of victory and the first US forces arrived on Cuba, that the family openly declared their support of the anti-Freedom Party rebels.

I do not recall if an equivalent to Mount Rushmore exists in the series. In TTL, there is a large stone monument to Theodore Roosevelt and his Unauthorized Regiment in Montana, not unlike Roosevelt’s OTL Mount Rushmore carving. This monument to Roosevelt and the Unauthorized Regiment in Montana was opened in the early 1980s to mark the centenary of the Second Mexican War and the Battle of the Teton River.

By 2022, George Washington is one the one dollar bill, Alexander Hamilton is on the five dollar bill, Benjamin Franklin is one the ten dollar bill, Charles La Follette is on the fifty dollar bill, and Theodore Roosevelt is on the one hundred dollar bill.

This is what I already wrote for Roddenberry and Serling:
-
The Roddenberry family never moved to El Paso in TTL. The family was living further east, in another area of Texas, by the end of the FGW. There was a male child born to the Rodenberry family in 1920, but with a different name (Wes Roddenberry) and ultimately different fate to our world’s Gene Roddenberry: growing up in the post-defeat CSA and then under the Freedom Party regime, conscripted into the CS military, participant in Operation Blackbeard, severely wounded and taken prisoner by US forces in the Battle of Pittsburgh, and ultimately repatriated to the new Republic of Texas in 1944. After the end of the war, Wes Roddenberry worked for over four decades as a file clerk, before retiring in 1986. Wes Roddenberry never worked in film, television, or had any particular interest in science fiction.

Rod Serling doesn’t exist in TTL. By 2021, there hasn’t been a US television show that’s closely analogous our world’s
The Twilight Zone.
However, many of the themes explored in the OTL show were present more broadly in the horror genre as it developed in the USA in TTL during the postwar years, especially the use of horror as social commentary and horror scenarios as the basis for psychological thrillers.
