That is based on the elo, but they lost because they were playing with basically none of their main players and didn’t have a great incentive to win given they were already classified.

I can only imagine the shenanigans that caused on occasion. I’m just imaging a union depo somehow getting a shipment of confederate uniforms from a private shipping company.

Both Sherman and Grant were from Ohio. That whole state was real thirsty for traitor tears.

It's interesting to see a large "less than high school" group and a large "Bachelor Degree or higher group (like California and Texas). Wonder what is going on there.

My first thought seeing Washington actually contributed soldiers was "Wait there were people there then?"

Absolutely wild and I had no idea anyone besides native Americans were present there at that point, much less enough to come back and actually contribute to the civil war.

What about countries in the southern hemisphere, where the school year starts in march?

My ggg was a calvary from boston, his sword is still in the family to this day

I'm embarassed that I thought Missiouri was a confederate state.

Apparently they were completely torn and setup state governments for both sides and sent soldiers for both sides.

As crazy as things have been these last few years, this really puts things in perspective for how good we have it right now.

The western states, then territories, had different shapes then. It would be appropriate to use the contemporary state lines in the graphic presentation when competing on r/dataisbeautiful

Built this in Power BI using data from https://wicn.nssc.nasa.gov/ (specifically, the "Workforce Profile Cube"). There's a ton of data you can get from that site (breakdowns by center, age, gender, retirement eligibility, more detailed labor categories, etc.). Wish there was a way to host interactive Power BI dashboards online for free -- if anyone knows of one I would appreciate it!

Being from southern Illinois myself… yea. It definitely thinks.. different. Than the rest of the state.

Immediate upvote. Original and well presented.

Since Alaska didn’t give anything to the union, I can only assume they supported the south /s

Such useless data you have posted here

I like it.

Very interesting to see how many shootings we had even back to the 70s, and that columbine wasn't even in a particularly 'active' year. Also find it interesting to see that the 90's were as bad as it was until very recently.

What does this say about you? What’s the story on top of this data?

It seems that Reddit's karma estimates are not accurate. My profile says 149k post karma by the analysis of my top 50 posts show 170k karma and my top 282 posts show 249k karma.

A fair number of those would have been black units.

I was just there, it’s incredible to see!

It'd be cool to see the reverse on the same map. Put confederate states in red with the same scale
