Another America

In the early part of the twentieth century, the 19th Amendment did not give women the right to vote. There was still a suffrage movement and women were given more rights through various laws, but voting was still the domain of men. The 19th Amendment passed in 1920 and raised the age of majority to the voting age of 21. This was a result of many boys being drafted for a war America didn't want. They could still leave home at 18, but their parents were still legally responsible. The rest of the Amendments were largely the same, although the dates a bit different. The 20th and 21st Amendment were switched, the 18th repealed in 1930 instead of 1933 to help mitigate the stock market crash. Women did not get the right to vote until 1977 with the 26th Amendment. In 1994 Congress passed the 28th Amendment, The Lifestyles Amendment. This Amendment allows all forms of marriage between people, legalizes prostitution, and allows greater sexual freedoms. 'Greater sexual freedoms' was left purposely vague to allow states to create their own laws. A new government agency was formed so no one could take advantage of the various laws and tax breaks that formed as a result of this new amendment. The history of this would greatly diverged after the second world war. Hitler was captured alive by American and British soldiers, the Soviet Union agreed to surrender eastern Germany, thereby not creating East Germany. The Soviets were still the first in space but collapsed in 1977. Technology was the greatest thing advance with the advent of graphene computer chips developed in the mid 1980's thanks to less resources diverted to fighting communism. As a result, computers and cellular phones evolved at a more rapid pace along with medical technology, nanotech is quite common. It is now common practice across the world for girls to be implanted with reproductive prevention(RP) chips at sixteen years of age. When children graduate high school they are considered Minor Adults and have ID chips implanted in their wrist. The personal computer was still developed by the some of the same persons at the near same time in history, but had more power, the internet still came about in the early 1990's, as well as smartphones. Robotic machines were designed to aid the medical profession in the late 1990's, making health care cheaper. In the early 2000's, a basic nanotech medical suite could be purchased affordably, depending on the company. Overall, most things, while a little more advanced, were still the same with only politicians and celebrities changing.
