vcczar Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I'm going to start posting all the historical legis props, pres actions, etc by Presidential Administration (and Continental Congresses). I think by organizing it this way, I can figure out if any proposals or whatever are needed for a specific time period. I'm fixing a lot of things in the spreadsheets as I put these together. Below is the 1st Continental Congress time period. It only functioned for part of 1774, but I include the pre-Congressional events. This Congress was quite impotent, and so this period is well-covered, despite its sparseness. I'll post the 2nd Continental Congress when I finish that one. 1st Continental Congress (1774) Scripted Events (excluding flavor events): Committees of Correspondence - 1772 Gaspee Affair - 1772 Boston Tea Party - 1773 Tea Act - 1773 Declaration of Resolves - 1774 Legis Props: Boycott British Goods - 1774 Petition the King to Repeal the Intolerable Acts - 1774 Pres Actions: *Not functional until post-Constitution* SC Cases: *Not functional until post-Constitution* Warfare: No active war New Gov Actions Available/Unavailable: *Not functional until Post-Independence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vcczar Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 I think the biggest area of need here is historical legis prop for the years 1777-1780. If anyone finds any let me know. I'd like to get one more for each of these years, but no more than 4 or 5 total. 2nd Continental Congress (1775-1781) Scripted Events (excluding flavor events): Dunmore’s Proclamation - 1775 Conciliatory Resolution - 1775 Proclamation of Rebellion - 1775 Restraining Acts - 1775 Prohibitory Act - 1775 Lexington and Concord - 1775 Common Sense - 1776 Virginia Declaration of Rights - 1776 Conway Cabal - 1777 Articles of Confederation - 1777 Republic of Vermont Proclaimed - 1777 Claim Vermont as a US territory - 1777 Lafayette Arrives - 1777 Culper Ring - 1778 Alliance w/ France - 1778 Von Steuben Arrives - 1778 Carlisle Peace Commission - 1778 Massachusetts Constitution - 1779 Philipsburg Proclamation - 1779 Treaty of Aranjuez - 1779 Turncoat General - 1780 Legis Props: Olive Branch Petition - 1775 Declaration of Causes - 1775 Invite Canada to Join Revolution - 1775 Seek Alliance w/ Anti-British Native Tribes - 1775 Establish Continental Army - 1775 Establish Continental Navy - 1775 Invade Canada as a Bargaining Chip - 1775 Tory Act of 1776 - 1776 Authorize Privateers to Fight British Navy - 1776 Declaration of Independence - 1776 Lee's Resolution - 1776 Adopt a National Flag - 1777 Create Minister to France - 1778 Create Minister to Spain - 1779 SC Cases: *Not functional yet Warfare: Revolutionary War - 1774 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IloveHistory48599022 Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 More "Tea Parties" happened. Philadelphia itself had a tea party (which didn't lead to destruction of tea, but the captain turned back to England), and Charleston had a tea party where they did destroy the tea. Random Events where more state legislatures are punished for defiance. Random Events where royal governors are tarred/feathered and or chased out of their mansion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Random Events where royal governors are tarred/feathered and or chased out of their mansion These are kind of 2nd tier and 3rd tier events. I'm not looking for these. I'm actually quite set for scripted events. Might add more such as these after early release. What would be more helpful is if you have any knowledge or can research the needed area where I am requesting help. Basically, for this thread, if I don't purposely request something, then I'm probably not going to add the idea at this time. I appreciate your eagerness to help, nonetheless.

vcczar Posted April 15, 2022 Author Share Posted April 15, 2022 Here's Washington's presidency. High need areas are historical legis props for years 1795 and 1796. Ideally, 4 total. It would also be helpful to find more historical presidential actions the Washington did as president. These would be things he did using the office of the presidency, such as executive actions or other executive branch policy. The presidency was weak in Washington's day, so it isn't required that I have more actions, but it might be nice from a playing standpoint. All suggestions must be historical please. George Washington (1st Pres: 1789-1797) Scripted Events (excluding flavor) French Revolution - 1789 Compromise of 1790 - 1790 Quaker Petition to Abolish Slavery - 1790 Cotton Textile Boom - 1790 Manufacturing Appears - 1790 Whiskey Rebellion - 1791 Haitian Revolution - 1791 Federalists are Formed - 1792 Jeffersonian Republicans are Formed - 1792 Buttonwood Agreement - 1792 Citizen Genet Stirring Up Trouble - 1792 Cotton Gin - 1793 General Napoleon Bonaparte dominating Europe - 1794 Tribute to Pirates - 1794 Jay Treaty - 1794 Pinckney’s Treaty - 1795 First American Labor Union formed - 1796 Legis Props: Bill of Rights (Amendments I-X) - 1789 Judiciary Act - 1789 Territory West of Virginia (KY) - 1789 Lighthouse Act - 1789 Establish National Standing Army - 1789 Hamilton Tariff I - 1789 Funding Act - 1790 Crimes Act of 1790 - 1790 Southwest Territory (TN) - 1790 Create District of Columbia - 1790 Naturalization Act of 1790 - 1790 Nonintercourse Act - 1790 Hamilton Tariff II - 1790 Establish Bank of the US - 1791 Vermont Statehood - 1791 Hamilton Tariff III - 1791 Create Dept of Post Office - 1792 Establish US Mint - 1792 Kentucky Statehood - 1792 Succession Act - 1792 Militia Act - 1792 Fugitive Slave Act - 1793 Construct Standing Navy - 1794 11th Amendment - 1795 Naturalization Act of 1795 - 1795 Tennessee Statehood - 1796 Pres Actions: Abolish National Debt - 1788 Institute Policy of “Civilizing” Native Americans in US Territory - 1795 SC Cases: Chisholm v.

vcczar Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 Here's John Adams. I think what I need here are more historical pres actions for Adams.

vcczar Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 Jefferson could use more historical pres actions. Legis props for 1802, 1804, 1805, and 1808 would be helpful as well.

vcczar Posted April 16, 2022 Author Share Posted April 16, 2022 Here's JQ Adams. Talk about a high-need presidency. Almost no accomplishment, primarily because Congress opposed everything he wanted to do. What I need most are historical legis props that passed during his presidency. I need like 7 or 8 legis props. I need some historical pres actions. I also need 1 historical SC case, whichever seems like the most historical or most interesting. JQ Adams is the great "what if" president because he has all sort of ideas that were never realized.

I found a few websites that have all legislation ever debated by Congress, but you can't search chronologically! You have to know the name or part of the name of the bill. (S. 1246, etc.).

vcczar Posted April 17, 2022 Author Share Posted April 17, 2022 Here's Jackson, clearly the first president making full use of his presidential actions. It would be nice to have a few more historical legislation that was passed during his tenure. He's well-covered otherwise.

OrangeP47 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 5 minutes ago, vcczar said: I found a few websites that have all legislation ever debated by Congress, but you can't search chronologically! You have to know the name or part of the name of the bill. (S. 1246, etc.). I'll find some things if no one else has the time to look. https://www.congress.gov/search?q={"source"%3A"legislation"%2C"congress"%3A["19"%2C20]} Had an idea. Set this to filter by 19th and 20th congress, boom, though you still have to read 1200 things to decide if they're important. I'll take a look too though and report back in a bit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
