All right, jabronies–we made it to the end of this timeline, exploring the presidencies of a splintered United States, with New England breaking away in the 1810s, and the Midwest breaking away in the 1870s, with France retaining most of the Rockies and the Pacific Northwest, and Mexico never losing Texas, California, or the rest of what is now the American Southwest.
So here are our last three president cards for the Algonquin League, and I may post some concluding thoughts on this timeline in the future. For now, I need to post this before my son wakes up from his nap…
