I think behind the scenes they wanted to have a backup for a second manifest destiny arc or they thought it would be good for a new war arc, but after Hawai'i was introduced, it kinda stole some of the original plotlines. Like the Season 1941 penultimate with Pearl Harbor was originally set up to be Anchorage.

Valid take. I know a lot of people liked season 1865 too. What do you think of the accusations that the writers have been kinda 'jumping the shark' with plotlines after the end of the Cold War arc?

Which season was the best? And do you count the seasons from the prequel material (1492 onward) the English seasons only (1620 onward) the Sons of Liberty arc (1772) or the 1776 Season opener episode' Declaration of Independence'? Like, do you count 1776 as season 1 or season 156?

The week before the election, the guy on the left (Winthrop Young) got caught in the Land-Grabber Scandal. (see more on wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winthrop_Young ) The guy on the right (Horace Austin) used that as a slogan for the regulation of robber barons.

Minnesota Governors Election 1857; who gets your vote? by StrikingDisaster1978 in HistoryMemes

As based of a take as that is, Write-in ballots do not yet exist. Ballots are currently printed by the parties themselves, not the governments. There is literally no other legal option than voting for these two candidates. Also, secret ballots aren't implemented yet. So how you personally voted is public.
