The year is 1841.

It is 100 years before America's entry into the Second World War. The last major American conflict was Texas's battle for independence from Mexico. The Californian Gold Rush won't be for another eight years and the current president is John Tyler.

So, what are you up to?

I think you forgot about the civil war?

Taking out that "Abraham Lincoln" fellow I met the other day. I don't know why, but somehow he gives me a bad feeling about the future of these United States... Like he's going to start a war between different sections of the nation.

[LocoJoe]

Fun fact, it actually started in 1746 as a weekly pamphlet published in Philadelphia called "The New Ground", the first in the New World to feature reader submissions. Ben Franklin held the job of making sure the presses ran correctly, and his current successor is James (aka liljim). Meanwhile, Thomas Fulpe was its editor, a title currently held by his direct descendants Tom and Wade Fulp. It went to all the colonies, and Alexander Hamilton was a big fan.
