OrangeP47 Posted May 28, 2023 Share Posted May 28, 2023 I have included Matt's responses here for the sake of having everything in one place. Paraguay government seizes property of resident US citizens Everyone is A, Cobb Choses A Jim Crow Laws A - Rogers, Mitchell, Davis, Shortridge, B - Nobody, C - Mallory, Cobb Choses A Sioux and allies refuse to cede lucrative territory Everyone is A, Cobb Choses A Labor Movement A - Mallory, B - Nobody, C - Rogers, Mitchell, Davis, Shortridge, Cobb Choses C (While he's not actually picking a side here, there's ironically some right wing/Southern support for labor in this timeline, albeit it's being fed as a deliberate ploy to stick it to the Whigs/Northern interests it seems) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the IRL Confederate Sec Navy and a real forward thinker in terms of technology and economics but also a hardcore racist would definitely be one to be spitting at the Whigs even here 20 years later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
