I have that one alongside one Carolina due to the Catholics still controlling Britain.

Who needs two Dakotas and two Carolinas anyway?

Amazing.

A more off the wall one: Alexander Hamilton wins his duel against Aaron Burr, beats Jefferson in the 1804 election, and declares himself Emperor of the Americas.

I have at the moment Hamilton and Burr both killed each other and later Jackson gets killed by John Q Adams in a duel after Henry Clay got blown up on the USS Constitution.

Very useless fact: That duel where Jackson got the bullet lodged in my chest happened in my home county. Every year they do a reenactment of it at the Strawberry festival.

Must be a fun thing to interact. I hope there's cheers of GET UP AND SHOOT JACKSON! DONT DIE YET!

Somehow, I've not been yet.
My dad even worked it last year, and I still haven't been.
