Chapter 110: Chapter 107: (1791-1792)

AN: Since we've finished up the Asia Arc, I will be moving the timeline in two-year intervals to speed things up. I will still provide POVs and important events in a separate update, but these updates will give the readers an overview of the events happening in the United States and abroad.

1791:

February 3rd: The 6th United States Congress is officially sworn in. Ten seats in the Senate (Hisigi, Kentucky, Maine, Vermont, and Georgia) and all House seats were up for re-election. Voters' turnout across the nation hovered just above 60%. The election sees the rise of "The Front" (Frontier Party), which stands for greater government assistance in infrastructure to help integrate the western states to the east, expansion towards the west, granting land to citizens for settlement out west, and a lower excise tax to benefit the farmers in the western/rural areas. The new Frontier Party gained four seats in the Senate (two in Kentucky, one in Hisigi, and one in Georgia). The Democrats held one seat in Georgia (while losing the other one to the Frontier Party) and Hisigi (one seat was also lost to the Frontier Party). The Republicans lost two seats in Kentucky, but kept its hold on Vermont. Maine is still held staunchly by the Unionists. The Whig Party fails to gain any seats in the Senate once again, remaining a party for specific regions. The Democrat-Republican alliance holds a narrow 21-19 majority in the Senate.
