Looking at how even WWII units were segregated, schools not getting integrated until the '60s, etc. I'm unfortunately not sure they really lost to begin with (which should not be allowed to pass again if there is a next time).

They lost the war, then Lincoln got shot.

Doesn't feel like they're losing at the moment.

We haven't started shooting yet

It didn't in 1940 either. Didn't take them long after that, though.

They always lose in the end
