39th United States Congress (National Union America)

The 39th United States Congress was the first congress under a National Unionist Presidency and was held at the start of the nation's transitional phase and reconstruction. As such the National Union Party only has the Presidency and Vice Presidency and none of the Senatoral or Represenative seats. The National Union League (the coalition of War Democrats and Republicans that formed the National Union Party) is still operating but has yet to firmly entrench the new party into federal politics nor has yet to advance it's agenda of a national consensus through a single party state.

Major Events

 * March 5, 1865: Second Inaguration of President Abraham Lincoln
 * April 9, 1865: Surrender of the Confedrate Army.
 * January 1866: The second and current dome of the United States Capital Building is completed after 11 years of construction.

Developer Notes

 * Without the assassination of Lincoln the rise of Andrew Johnson as President doesn't happen nor does his reversion to a Democrat as the National Union Party crumbled with Lincoln's death in OTL. Due to Andrew Johnson not becoming President Benjamine Wade (Radical Republican) doesn't become President Pro-Temp of the Senate.
