Well speaking of slavery were there any serious movements after the war to "bring it back" or something?

Honestly given the Anti-MAsonic coup last election how can we not vote for William Henry Harrison? He is the only candidate to firmly commit himself to be wholeheartedly against freemasonry.

I vaguely remember reading in a book that at the time of his election Taylor was lukewarm towards the South but by the end of his presidency he had gotten so sick of their poo poo so much he just started essentially trolling them.

Well I meant more each separate individual election we aren't running a continuous timeline, after all if we were clearly America would be a monarchy under the Adams Dynasty .I figure a civil war at least every other election is probably a safe bet.

MMM Whatchya Say posted:I mean i guess we should vote free soil, but we've already abolished slavery like 6 times. IDK, is there another fun party to vote for? I guess the dead guy. We should have voted for Zach "hang the South" Taylor last election. Dead dude is definitely the comedy option though. This and the elections after it probably are not ones you want to consider for getting away from slavery politics since it seems everyone is either making it a central issue of their campaign or trying to be as blank a state as possible and have little to no actual platform that could potentially piss one side off.

Cthulhu Dreams posted:It is amazing that two parties are both engaged on running on a platform of having no platform because they are so internally divided. You can really make the case that the party is running because the party machine doesn't know how to stop. Not only are there two parties running on "no platform" it is the two major parties that are doing that. Mantis42 posted:Please don't vote for the Southern Rights Party even as a joke. If you're wanting to mix things up from the usual abolitionists, then go for the dead guy. But Christ, Troup sounds like the biggest rear end in a top hat we've gotten yet. If people wanted to mix things up they should have voted for the blank slate that adopted the policy of "gently caress the south" last election  maybe we can settle on Zach Taylor lite in Old Fuss and Feathers.Edit: Also considering that Andrew Jackson, Calhoun and Clay are all dead by this point any other worthwhile quotes or phrases for the title?

The Whigs are going with a platform of both abolitionism and pro-slavery (abolitionism first, of course). Well the Whigs did it first last election with Taylor and tried to do the same thing with Scott, Old Fuss and Feathers however cannot keep his mouth shut.

oystertoadfish posted:i wonder if people were surprised when it turned out (if i remember my military history right) that fremont sucked as a civil war general Eh sucked is a bit strong given the plethora of civil war generals you could easily say sucked (on both sides) he wasn't the greatest or anything maybe in the bottom 50% but not the rock bottom, but his greatest problem and the reason he was initially relieved of command was for antagonizing Missourians a tad too much and being way to vocally anti slavery at a time when the North was still afraid all the border states were going to cut and run to the Confederacy. His command history is a tad short for real comparison though given he basically quit the army early in the war.

One of John Adams terms i think the third, Jefferson's second term and Quincy Adam's first term. Although I guess Quincy Adams gets a asterix given the corrupt bargain and everything.

UrbicaMortis posted:I find it a little surprising. Not the racism itself but the fact they seemed to be on the side of the confederates. By the time of the civil war, slavery had been illegal for like 80 years on British soil, the slave trade was banned in 1807 and it was banned in every colony by 1843. I think British support was less ideological and more practical they basically saw it as a opportunity to weaken the United States plus the South was a big trade partner for them. I think I remember reading that a lot of citizens in England had problems with their government unofficially supporting a slavery nation.

So the perfect goon candidate is someone who wants to free the slaves and treat them equally, loves hard cider and loving the South, wants to root out the Freemason menace, launch a expedition to the center of the earth, might engage in freemounting and whos last name is Adams?

So we have a choice between them morally upstanding and pretty cool guy Grant who unfortunately has a corrupt as gently caress administration, a proto communist with poor views towards former slaves and does not want to gently caress the South, another Adams candidate! Who is sadly the vice presidential candidate and his running mate is a confederate sympathizer, and the Prohibition Party with great views like equality and womens suffrage but... no alcohol. Man this might be the toughest election.

McClellan also had a bad habit of believing the rebel army was always ten times bigger than his own. Some of the numbers he threw around for Confederate troop strengths were mind boggling.
