This is what I've watched, but I'm wondering if I'm running out! Suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Not all are exactly Republican Era, but they are similar. Definitely prefer love triangles, but not necessarily as much as the romance itself. Some may not be perfectly Republican Era, but still had that feel. I've also left my own list here so that if you are looking for something similar, you may be able to find it here as well. Also, I will continue to add to this list as/if I find more that are suitable to the criteria! <3
