And the winner is...
🕑 Added 2016-11-19 08:58:25 +0000 UTC The Articles of Confederation! Teddy rallied on the final day and closed what had been a fairly consistent 20 vote gap, but he didn't quite have the going power to overtake the Articles (or tie them). So now we know what our first ever US History topic will be, with congratulations to the patron who suggested this one!Current Schedule: Simon Bolivar --> Catherine the Great --> Ned Kelly and the Kelly Gang --> Articles of Confederation

Funny how I am learning about the articles of confederation in school right now

As an idea for the next one, how about William Stephenson.

Oh man. Tammany Hall was definitely some hijinks.

We love him too! And we'd love him to come back.

As a big fan of the Bull Moose; he is easily among my favorite presidents. I was hoping that Teddy would win out in this case. His life is a crazy and awesome ride. Well here is hoping that he will get a shot in the future. :)

You guys should look into doing a series on the rise and fall of William "Boss" Tweed and Tammany Hall, and the hilarious insane escapades of his.

One day it will win. Yes, one day...

Had ONE person voted differently it'd been a tie again!

IT'S TOO REAL

The only coinflip I read about said that Teddy won!

Every vote counts! Actually I'm surprised, as I always figured the closeness of our voting results was due to the fact that people can vote on multiple topics, and so the ones with the most general appeal tend to attract the most overlap. But here, everyone could only vote on one topic, and it STILL came down to the wire.

The rough riders will ride again!

It is now Headcanon that somebody living in Virginia agonised over which to pick as theirs was the tiebreaker...until someone in New Hampshire also voted for the articles a few seconds before they did.

In the end the election was decided by the voter who chose by coinflip.

By two votes? Wow I'm glad I voted
Christopher Smith
Well fought! Teddy'll take the next one. lol
