ITT: /int/ in 1879

Granny Hayes is a bum. Let's bring Grant back next year and get back to the good stealings we had six years ago.

I can't believe that fool vetoed Congress from restricting Chinamen from immigrating here. The yellow devils are taking over California like lice.

We ended Russians to the Balkans forever. Yay!

This state is angry, the odds it goes Democrat in '80 are getting larger and larger.

That’s it, i’m tired of eating roots straight from the ground and constantly be on the verge of starving, i’m boarding that ship to america and i’ll thrive!

*simps for aristocr*tic whore*

There’s nothing for me here. I should join my neighbours and move to Pennsylvania

Presumed socialist or Catholic that Bismarck bitchslapped.

I'm not rewarding a decade of Republican failure. The rascals under that fool Grant drove us into the worst panic since '37 and steal everything that isn't nailed down. Yes I feel the odds of a Democrat White House next year are looking favorable indeed.

wanna go west and shoot redskins? too bad i wasn't old enough for the war, my Uncle Albert told me some wild tales of it.

I’m a Protestant Palatine and therefore destined to leave, like most people here.

Alexander I has been dead for over 50 years now gramps, did you forget to take your arsenic pills again?

>On September 24, 1879, Herman Presser led a German-American citizens' militia called the Lehr und Wehr Verein in an armed march in Chicago to protest companies' private security forces. Presser was indicted by Cook County DAs for forming an illegal armed militia. He was fined $10.

>The verdict was appealed to the Supreme Court on the grounds that Presser's right to bear arms was infringed upon, which eventually ruled in Presser v. Illinois seven years later that there was no intrinsic right in the Constitution to form private armies and that the 2nd Amendment applied only to Congress not the states.

>Presser was overturned by McDonald v. City of Chicago in 2010.

>>213915260
surely he meant Alexander II...oh well he will be dead soon anyway.

Are you threatening our beloved tsar?
I'm sorry sir, but I'm gonna have to ask you to remain calm while I call the secret police.

What a dull year this is. Nothing slightly important going on, no wars or anything save for some colonial bush wars in Africa and Asia.

>>213916212
shit hits the fan in South America this year

I am tired of living in a cave and chasing animals. Its time to invent agriculture

>>213916244
That's basically a bush war anyway but then again we haven't seen their posters in here.

>>213914367
Hayes is an illegal president anyway. The robbery of '76 will not be forgotten!

Dear Tribune, I must set the record straight on the 17th anniversary of the great battle of Shiloh that all of us who were there on that terrible field know that General Buell and the Army of Ohio without any question saved Grant from catastrophe. We found no organized units when we arrived on the evening of April 6th, only panicked men running from the enemy's onslaught. Grant was not to be found anywhere, rumor had it he lay drunk in his tent as the Rebel army ravaged the Federal camps. And yet there are supporters of the former president who continue to circulate such base and absurd lies to the contrary.

Rip our beloved crown prince, we would have much rather the disease claimed your father instead.

better a questionable election than to return the party of treason and slave whippers to power

Gentlemen, everyone knows a base-ball game is no place to bring a lady. Most of the matches end in a brawl between the players or the referee each time someone strikes out. Keep the fairer sex at home knitting linens where they belong.

Those fiendish Apaches are attacking down in the New Mexico Territory again. Let's take them to school, boys.

HOLY SHIT I LOVE GERMANY SO MUCH WE CAN DO ANYTHING RAAAAAAAAAAHHHH

>The Utes attacked an Indian agency near their reservation in western Colorado on September 29, 1879 after miners repeatedly encroached on their land, which the US government had guaranteed them, and after the governor of Colorado called for their eviction. Indian agent Nathan Meeker was killed; he had attempted to encourage the Utes to convert to Christianity and give up their nomadic lifestyle. The same day, Utes ambushed an Army detachment near Milk Creek some 18 miles away, inflicting 13 casualties and killing its commander Maj. Thomas Thornburgh. Reinforcements arrived and drove the Utes off.

>The government retaliated by removing the Utes' promised land rights and forced their removal from Colorado.

It's only 110 years until Taylor Swift is born. Enjoy it while it lasts.

>Bimetallism had been restored by the 1878 Bland Allison Act and the Specie Resumption Act had allowed greenback holders starting in 1879 to exchange their paper notes for gold coins, but few actually ended up exchanging the lighter, more convenient bills when the time came.

>The economic depression that had started in the fall of 1873 finally lifted in 1879 and there were signs of prosperity returning.

I fucking love potatoes and pigs

Today the company police fired upon and shot 15 workers at our shoe factory for an illegal strike in which they demanded a $2 salary increase. What an absurd demand, we should go bankrupt at that rate.

My Uncle Nathaniel he hasn't been right since the war. Poor fellow panicked the other day when some laborers were nailing roof tiles across the street this morning, he thought it was the sound of Rebel muskets being fired.

My dad did a POG job in the Civil War and tries to act like he's some hard Antietam level veteran. Am thinking moving away from PA and going out West to Oregon, but feel as if the hassle of it will be a lot. Thoughts on doing the trail. Anyone else done it? Will I get dysentery?

>>213920649
>the trail
this is 1879 not 1845 you can ride a comfy railroad car from coast to coast

>>213920691
Can I move all my stuff on a train? Are we to the point where we're able to order houses off the Sears catalog?

>>213920691
correct. the transcontinental railroad has been up and running for a decade now (well more like 5 years because several were spent fixing issues with the construction of the tracks)

STOP THE STEAL

Aha! The Italians are believed as brawny hooligans and swindlers; I have yet to observe one that doesn’t hold the traits of a delicate catamite. Truly the Anglo Saxon displays a high measure of vigor equal to a gentleman cow! (que laughing for all to hear)

CHINESE GO HOME NOW

If only we did away with the curse of the gold standard and could print unlimited money and have 30% inflation, I would have paid off the mortgage on my farm by now.

Cocaine is legal in 1879 and you can purchase it at any drugstore.
