I think that everyone in this thread should have to submit documentation that they are white, male landholders.

And citizens.

And literate.

They are all members of this forum.

But can they prove they're members? We need a long-form receipt showing purchase of membership.

A thing to remember about James Monroe (the loser who won this shitheap of an election and the farcical comedy of the election of 1820) and JQA (Monroe's Secretary of State and future ~~Elective Majesty~~ President) was that the Monroe doctrine was entirely serious when they made it. From the perspective of the US at this time, they were the premier player on the Americas. However, internal tensions, religious zeal, expansionism and loving Texans are a big part of the American identity for this period (Era of Good Feelings to the start of the Civil War). With this election, Jackson hasn't made politics an issue the common man thinks about yet so we're still dealing with times where an endorsement can come from a political enemy because the other option has no beliefs.

Voted Monroe

I'd say the rep as a major power was solidified between this time and the end of the Spanish-American war.

I think the end of the civil war is a useful point at least as far as discussing it, but if you want to argue the Spanish-American war, I wouldn't really fight you over it. the 1860s-1890s was the period when the US industrialized (especially in the north) and developed the necessary global reach, particularly in the Pacific Ocean, to be on a par with the British/French/Dutch/Spanish/Portugese in global affairs - affirmed by the haul of land in the Spanish-American war. The US did not move beyond being 'one of' the great powers until 1944 at the earliest.

Pretty much the only reason to vote Jackson is fear that the fucker would rise from the grave and personally shoot you, because thats something he would do.

That's good enough for me. Vote Jackson to Make America Great For The First Time.
