2.4.3 Scripted Events

The American Colonization Society Founds Liberia

A bipartisan group, mostly composed of prominent Virginians and Kentuckians, have formed a society to encourage free blacks to migrate and develop land in West Africa to be named Liberia. The group does include some abolitionists or anti-slavery supporters. Some argue that black Americans would be safer and more prosperous in Africa. Some argue that this society will lead to the gradual emancipation of all slaves. Some argue that this society is necessary for the protection of slavery and will likely decrease rebellions.

Liberia now a US Possession

How will President Jefferson response?

A: Endorse the society for its quasi-harmonious nature between slaveholders and anti-slavery members.

B: Ignore making an official statement

😄 Oppose the philosophy of the society as it seems more like a ploy that will lead to the deportation of free black Americans

@sk Sec Madison, @dkh Sec Gallatin and @pman Sec Smith can make a suggestion to the President

After they make their suggestions @jnewt Pres Jefferson to make final decision.

 

Sec Gallatin suggests endorsing the society

2.4.2 General Events

Party Switch

President, over the course of the year we've lost @pman Charles Willing Byrd, @dkh64 William Wirt, @ShortKing Dudley Chase, and @jnewt Gabriel Holmes to the opposing party. We've now been informed that @Murrman104 Smith Thompson will also be joining the other party. This isn't looking good. We need to excite our party again.

Byrd and Thompson join @matthewyoung123

Wirt joins @10centjimmy

Chase and Holmes join @WVProgressive

 

British Trade Tension

Trade tension has been gradually escalating and has now resulted in a diplomatic war of words between diplomats of both nations.

UK relations drop by 1

 

Scandalous Office Holder

Did you see the news? Uriah Tracy resigned from his office almost as soon as the scandal was released to the press. At least Tracy had the integrity to admit fault and step aside. We're told that Tracy won't retire from politics, however, which renders them only fit for appointed office.

@Pringles Sen Uriah Tracy of CT resigns his seat and receives a permanent -1 in future elections

@Pringles Gov Trumbull, Jr to appoint a new Senator

 

Random Military Personnel Gains Command

There has been talk among politician of the possible presidential candidacy of one of our leading military officers

Random Ambassador Gains Command

One of the nation's leading ambassadors is considering a presidential run.

@dkh64 Minister to France Robert Livingston gains +1 Command (his 1st!)

 

Random Politician with Puritan Gains Command

One of the more ideologically stubborn politicians is talking about running for president to keep the nation within ideals best suited for the people.

@10centjimmy Fisher Ames gains +1 Command (his 1st!)

Governor Trumbull Jr. will appoint Representative Roger Griswold @10centjimmy to the Senate seat. 

He will then appoint David Daggett @WVProgressive to the now vacant House seat.

Historically it was done right about now because of the most recent election iirc. 

Yeah, they passed it because Jefferson and Burr, the intended VP, tied in the Electoral College, and the Federalists nearly gave it to Burr.

Added fun fact: Georgia submitted its vote incorrectly. If Georgia's votes didn't count, Jefferson and Burr would have missed a majority by one vote. The House would've elected a president from Jefferson, Burr, Adams, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, and John Jay (who received one vote). But VP Jefferson was reading the electoral votes and ignored the Georgia error.
