What kind of UA would the Big Stick Agenda give?

The Agendas appear to be separate from the UAs. Big Stick seems to be his Agenda (Hates Warmongers/Likes Peacemongers) rather than his UA.

American UU is the P-51 and the Rough Rider. Here is the Firaxis blog on the American civ:

I'm hoping for some version of Manifest Destiny that favors expantion. Not new but serves America perfectly.

Maybe they'll go with a Monroe Doctrine style America this time around.
I can't see manifest destiny being a UA given the big stick policy. Also there's nothing with manifest destiny that would preclude it from being an agenda.

What?
No, it's confirmed that the Big Stick Policy is their Agenda, in which they favor peaceful civs on their own continent.
But that is not the name of thier UA which is still unrevealed.
I just want to make sure people aren't mixing up because they are completely two different things.
There's talk America may not even have a UA.
My point is manifest destiny is very much a statement of diplomatic preference and would have been a candidate instead of big strick policy at some point. It's good they didn't go with manifest destiny which is far too obvious choice to go with for the Americans.

The rough riders seems to be specially linked with Ted Roosevelt. Don't think they would be there if we had another leader. So maybe one of the Uniques of each civ will be linked exclusively to the leader?
Also, our first cavalry unique. I hope they don't get a thousand of cavalry uniques as in Civ V

The only thing I'm kind of down about is that National Parks aren't a unique improvement.

He looks great! Definitely bodes well for an interesting leader. I also like that there are 3 uniques: do we know if 3 is the maximum, or could there be more?
Am I the only one hoping the really drab, wishy-washy Paint Shop Pro backdrop is a placeholder, though? I really don't like it. I was hoping for a proper 'environment' like the leaders in CiV had

I'm not sure Big Stick simply favors peacemongers as much as it means that Teddy is fiercely protective of City States on his own continent.

I'm really not bothered, they're fun the first tiem then they get bored as you quickly close out of the diplomatic screen.
Maybe a unique civic

I'm guessing it is a placeholder, but as MarshmallowBear said, it really isn't that important. If the resources needed to render complex environments are instead used to reintroduce multiple leaders in Civ6, I'll call it a good move.
