A bit late to sway the vote, but General Winfield Scott, Pompous rear end in a top hat Father Of The Modern American Army, is goddamn fantastic and will receive an effortpost in the next day or two. He is also a very reasonable man on the Native Americans (did his best to follow his orders as humanely as possible) and slavery. As befits a genius who stands above lesser men and also is noticeably more spherical.

Pre-corpse Webster endorsed Scott over his own then-live candidacy. We should respect his last official position on the subject and elect a stubborn, obnoxious curmudgeon to chart a reasonable, sensible path to enlightenment and prosperity and browbeat everyone who is not reasonable or sensible. We already elected a stubborn obnoxious curmudgeon in John Adams Pbuh. We need more.

Thank you for voting. We apologize for the delay. With only about a third of the popular vote, John P. Hale of the Free Soil Party has been elected President of these United States. Though he must still travel to Washington to be sworn in, Hale has already assembled a “Kitchen Cabinet” composed of prominent abolitionists, including Martin Van Buren, William Lloyd Garrison, and Calvin Fairbank, to discuss reconstruction of the rump United States and reintegration of freed slaves. The Vice President-elect George Washington Julian will be visiting major cities across the country to find a new, more defensible, location for the United States capitol. MOST POPULAR TICKET: John P. Hale / George Washington Julian (Free Soil) - 35 votes (38%) Daniel Webster / Charles J. Jenkins (Union) - 19 votes (20.7%) Winfield Scott / William Alexander Graham (Whig) - 19 votes (20.7%) George Troup / John A . Quitman (Southern Rights) - 10 votes (10.9%) Jacob Broom / Reynell Coates (Native American) - 6 votes (6.5%) Franklin Pierce / William R. King (Democratic) - 3 votes (3.3%) TOTAL: 92 votes

ELECTION OF 1856 Click here to vote in the Election of 1856! Background: The United States is collapsing, taking with it decades of political compromise and avoidance on the issue of slavery. Political pillage and murder has become commonplace within the territories. Just a week before the Democrat’s Cincinnati Convention, a congressman from South Carolina beat his colleague from Massachusetts to near-death. A fanatical abolitionist named John Brown has led an attempted slave revolt in Kansas, hacking pro-slavery leaders to death with an axe. The press takes turns praising abolitionism and condemning it. The Whig Party has virtually vanished, leaving two new and inexperienced parties to fill the void. And few remember that this collapse was brought to the forefront by a railroad. In 1854, officials from both North and South came together in support of a trans-continental railroad to California. Once debates over the issue began in earnest, however, sectional tensions began to emerge. Southerners lobbied for the rail line to take a southern route while Northerners pushed for a Northern route that might link St. Louis, Missouri, Chicago, Baltimore, Philadelphia, and New York. James Gadsden, Pierce’s Ambassador to Mexico, negotiated the purchase of Mexican lands in what is now the southern border of Arizona and New Mexico on December 30, 1853 to assure sufficient rights-of-way through less mountainous terrain. Meanwhile, the North began clearing land in the Nebraska Territory to facilitate their route. However, rival factions within Missouri wanted control of the route and the potential fortunes to be made from land speculation. Pro-slave forces threatened to block any efforts to organize Nebraska because Missouri would then be surrounded on its west, east, and north by free states. Fearing that it might be forced to abolish slavery, Missouri lobbied the South for support. The support emerged in the form of the Kansas-Nebraska Act. Introduced in January 1854, the act repealed the Missouri Compromise and opened all territories to slavery by devolving control over slavery to the individual states and territories. While popular in the South, because it essentially re-enshrined protections for slavery, the Act became wildly unpopular in the North. George Washington Julian, a former candidate for the Free Soil Party, condemned Congress and commented that: “The whole issue of slavery [is] thus reopened.” Outraged at their own party’s actions, Northern Democrats have started abandoning the Democratic Party en masse, led by Ohio Senator Salmon Chase. These dissenters found sympathetic supporters among “Free Soil” activists and “Conscience Whigs.” Working together, these factions began holding anti-Nebraska townhalls across the country, meetings which eventually led to the formation of a new party: The Republican Party. Committed to stopping the expansion of slavery, the Republicans are seen by abolitionists as the country’s best chance to abolish slavery. Meanwhile, Southerners are warning that if a Republican is ever elected to major office, that it will bring about immediate secession and Civil War. Meanwhile, another party, the secretive, nativist party, known as the Know-Nothings is gaining speed. Hoping to unite the country around an issue other than slavery, the Know-Nothings promise stringent restrictions on Catholic immigration. They have nominated former President Millard Fillmore in hopes of attracting supporters from both the North and South. DEMOCRATIC PARTY NOMINEES: Presidential Nominee: James Buchanan, Jr.
Vice Presidential Nominee: John C. Breckenridge
REPUBLICAN PARTY NOMINEES: Presidential Nominee: John C. Frémont
Vice Presidential Nominee: William L. Dayton

Awesome! Finally a platform I can get behind! Bonus info: my German autocorrect software just wanted to substitute "behind" with "behindert" (retarded). Even I think that that's a bit too harsh a word to describe the GOP. But then again, ze Computer is alvays right!
