My sincere thanks for the praise! And I remain grateful to those who have voted! And subtly hint for more votes of course
Thank you! I'm thrilled you're enjoying this piece so far - and that you find it in depth! I'm hoping to make 1866 an exciting year, but one finished much more quickly than others! I have some thoughts on how to round it out properly!
The 1866 midterms will be interesting, as to put it mildly we are watching a slow collapse of the existing party system thanks to the ideological contradictions brought on by the war. So where people will see Democrat they may not necessarily be seeing men who are
Democrats vs, well, something else. The Radical Democracy Party is going to make a showing too, though how much to the detriment of the Republicans I have yet to decide!
