What if freed slaves in America after the Civil War moved en masse to $_Southern_State and made it a 70%+ African American state?

Several Southern states were very strongly African American up until ~1910 or so.

Something I've often wondered about is what would happen if a president or whatever were revealed to be a ____ right in the middle of some pivotal moment.

What if the announcement of Japan's capitulation in 1945 was delivered by Truman in drag.

What if the first words on the moon were "one small step for a gay man."

What if the guy who broke the Nazis' codes in WW2 was gay.

What if Abraham Lincoln had not replaced staunch Union man Hannibal Hamlin with despicable white supremacist Andrew Johnson on the ticket in 1864?

Probably about the same, since Johnson didn't do much and after 66 he was overruled by the Radical Republicans at every turn (and nearly impeached).

Would it have expanded west of the Appalachians?

A lot of that land was actually claimed by Britain at the time so at the very least there would be more commonwealth nations there in all likelihood.

What if the Fairness Doctrine was never repealed?

Fox News would be the same, MSNBC would make programs more explicitly conservative than Morning Joe.

What if Nazi Germany never invaded any other country and concentrated on just the "undesirables" in their country? Would they still be in charge?

Based on Franco they'd probably last for a while before ultimately collapsing.

Though you have to remember that part of their national myth was reclaiming stolen land, so conflict was inevitable.
