I believe Henry Clay is a trustworthy chap, but more importantly, I hope the attempted assassination on Jackson that historically happened in 1835 (and failed under hilariously improbable circumstances) actually happens to him and succeeds, so we can get Sergeant in office, who is clearly the best.

Anti-Masons are crypro-federalists, given how they eventually merged into the Whig Party.

It'd kinda suck to have to be a member of a shadowy cabal that's always failed at everything just because your father and your grandfather and your great-grandfather, going back to the first term of George Washington were members.

We can all see it for now, but Photobucket tends to take down images that get too much traffic and images that are too old. Imgur is generally preferred on forums because pictures will last as long as Imgur lives.

Yeah, especially back then it wasn't uncommon for minor parties to support major party tickets for elected office. For instance, in this 19th century election for Governor of New York, you can see that a bunch of minor parties including the Anti-Nebraska Party and the Anti-Rent Party listed Whig candidates on their ticket.

Have a quirky high pitched voice that popular media has overridden? Get assassinated? All the talk is always about Lincoln. Hamlin got bored of being Vice President and joined the Maine Coast Guard as a private while he was still in office.

QuoProQuid posted:1876 through 1892 will be really interesting for me. It's the longest string of elections where I am not sure who will win. I think it's pretty clear what direction SA's going to go in 1876. Hayes was a shitbag who ended Reconstruction and turned a blind eye to the South's suppression of African-American political rights in return for being handed the presidency, and the Democrats were involved in widespread voter intimidation against African-Americans, but Peter Cooper of the Greenback party was in favor of fiat currency, breaking up monopolies, labor rights, and Native American rights. Plus he had a glorious beard.

I did 2016 as Clinton/Brown and got 318 electoral votes. Everything seemed to fall my way and I ended up winning in a landslide with 55% of the popular vote and all the swing states. Interestingly enough, I was within 300 votes of winning Utah even.

poo poo, I just played as Wilson in 1916 and lost the election despite winning the popular vote. I only lost by 132 votes in Washington, and that would have been enough to swing the election in my favor.

I thought that racist depiction of a brown person looked familiar, and sure enough, it looks like that's by the same artist as this famous political cartoon.  Using "gently caress the South" as a justification for imperialism. A true conundrum for D&D.

Jai Guru Dave posted:The South participated in a free and fair election, lost, and wouldn't abide by the result. Textbook treason. If you don't think Lincoln deserves his status, picture his predecessor or successor on the job. Or that vacillating snake Douglas. Too bad the Equal Rights Party didn't get 0.5% of the popular vote in 1872. I have no doubt in my mind that goons would vote for them in a landslide.

I know that later on, a lot of pro-prohibition rhetoric would be couched in anti-Catholic terms, with lots of bashing of Irish-Americans for being drunkards. I don't know if that particular line of rhetoric has developed at this point in history, though.

They were initially brought over to work on the transcontinental railroad, but once that was done, they moved on mostly to other low-paying jobs. By this point, over 100,000 Chinese immigrants were living in the US, mostly in California, and a lot of working class Californians were pissed that the Chinese were "taking their jobs."

Strange bedfellows. (The last Greenback VP candidate, Barzillai Chambers, was also a Confederate veteran.) To be fair, very few white people at the time on either side of the Mason-Dixon line considered blacks equal to whites.
