History of USA senate [video] [OC]

This is timelapse I created showing history of USA Senate, how they swithed from party to party over time. For this projekt I decided to split all states into two parts to show both of two seats each state have. I find this method more useful than using stripes ar mixed color (aka purple for dem/gop) in times when state senators were from different parties, also this way I could show the history of each individual seat so I put numbers denoting which senate classes seats belong to.

If you dont know senate classes are for determining when particular senator face re-election. All classes have re-elections two years apart or put it other way one third of senate is elected every two years.

This video also show senate vacancies, but only long ones (nearly a year, years), vacancies that only lasted days, weeks or a few months arent shown due to timeframe of my gif being one year althrought there were many of them in almost all states.

I also added names of serving presidents and vice presidents (vices are presidents of the senate so I figured I will add them as well) in each frame (hope that helps). Senate majority leaders only appear 1920s because that title didnt exist before 1920s.


Furthermore there is also a GIF version: https://i.imgur.com/Gb28zfj.gifv, and album of each frame: https://imgur.com/a/W4jOm if you are interested in that.

You did a good job on these videos ,please make more.

I just started doing similar video about House of Representatives, but that will take a while to make because if the shear size of it (much more people than there was senators or governors) and complexity of it, so bear with me.

Really great job! Well done.

Never heard of the know-nothing party

Good job!
