Both Sherman and Grant were from Ohio. That whole state was real thirsty for traitor tears.

We still have those ideals and values, we are just gerrymandered so bad that it looks like we're a mini Texas. Don't believe the votes or the numbers. Good people still live here!

How did Pirate Vance win the Senate seat then? Ohio is fucked.

That was a crazy race. The polling locations cut their voting machines by half or more. I still don't understand why they did that. And it wasn't just in big cities It was everywhere even in the rural areas. I had friends out in Delta and down in Kalida both say their polling locations only had a couple machines when they used to have 8 to 10.

Some of the best. Myself included. I quit paying attention to politics and the media and it's amazing how much nicer the world really is.

The Washington Territory had about 10,000 people total and they had to travel a very long distance over terrible terrain so I'm pretty impressed.

My first thought seeing Washington actually contributed soldiers was "Wait there were people there then?"

Absolutely wild and I had no idea anyone besides native Americans were present there at that point, much less enough to come back and actually contribute to the civil war.
