1948IW

1948 Identity War (or referred to as 1948IW) is a mod created by Efficient_Concert403, which takes place in an alternate universe where President FDR never switches his running mate and Henry Wallace remains as his VP. FDR dies in 1945, and Wallace assumes the presidency. The Republican candidate is Robert Taft, the Democratic nominee is Henry Wallace, and the States' Rights nominee (or Dixiecrat) is Strom Thurmond. Canonically, Henry Wallace wins, but only by one Ohio faithless elector who decided to cast their vote for Wallace. The mod would be subject to lots of controversy, and coincidentally it would be released the same day as Tom's 1948Red on April 7th, 2023. It would be added to the mod loader, but after much controversy, Thurmond's side would be removed soon after it was put on the loader because of it's historical inaccuracy and it's usage of shock value pertaining to racism through the usage of the N-word and having the ability to lynch MLK. On May 24th, 2023, Astro would take off the entire mod off of the mod loader because of a slur found in Wallace's side which directly targets Japanese people.
