Octatonic posted:Quincy is like the lamest president, and the weak Adams line is a mere artifact of history. The only remainder of the once-proud legacy is a mid-tier beer company. I demand immaculate, anachronistic dynasties. Speaking of that, he left out a non-presidential portion of said early american political dynasties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_Adams

Thump! posted:To be fair, none of us would be allowed to vote were we alive back then. Surprise surprise, poor people from the 21st century know how much of a shitfucking loon states rights are. As a not-poor white man from Boston I probably had a decent chance of being able to vote. And being anti-slavery would make me fit right in with my preferred candidate so far of Adams

John Adams will continue to dominate these elections until he no longer runs...which will be fairly soon. We're going to need to take a break from the Adams clan for a couple of a elections too, which is pretty sad.

Wait, so DeWitt Clinton finished a massive government project ahead of schedule and under budget...and also basically single handedly orchestrated the Missouri compromise apparently? What a boss.

QuoProQuid posted:DeWitt ran the Erie Canal project well, but a good portion of its success was the result of factors beyond his control. The Panic of 1819 was a spectacular boon for the canal and Clinton's personal career. Just throwing out there, once more, that this thread is fantastic and extremely interesting.

Cthulhu Dreams posted:I wish you could vote for JQA + Nathan Sanford. As an Australian my knowledge of american history begins in 1861, I had now idea of how much a terrible person Andrew Jackson is. Good thing we put him on our money for some reason.

Ibogaine posted:Birney seems to be the man for you then. He even wants Mexico to take of the kids gloves when dealing with the seditious scum in Texas. Looks like I made the right choice.

QuoProQuid posted:They've sent several notices to Washington about their secession but they keep getting lost in the mail. I think it's because we've erased history immediately after each election. They can't remember why they were mad exactly and just throw the letter in a fire because no one knows what they were talking about, and assumes they were drunk when they wrote it. At least that's how I sees it.
