Women can hold no federal government positions. Women also may not vote in any circumstance. Allow states to pass laws saying husbands can count their vote twice if they are married. If Congress refuses to pass laws, pass it all via executive order. 2. Expand the United States further westward. If Native Americans stand in our way, permit any use of force necessary to remove them. Push Native Americans off of lands in the South, especially in South Carolina and Georgia to expand farm land capabilities. 3. Expand and prolong the slave trade. 48/100 The measure is partially successful. Most women are already disenfranchised, but laws and executive orders formally banning women from all federal cabinet spots pass, including the cabinet and supreme court. Betsy Ross leads the opposition, and manages to narrowly block some of the more extreme measures. Women retain the right to vote, but new literacy tests and property requirements limit this right to rich white women only. Black people are fully disenfranchised from all political offices. Husbands don’t get their wives votes, however. Van Buren uses the courts to block attempts to ban women from running for president, although they are successfully banned from the Democratic and National Republican / Whig Primaries. Barring a third party, women are done running for office for now. 17/100 The westward expansion is an abject failure. The settlers are met with fierce native resistance, and the few who return home unscalped are very unwilling to return. Several colonial powers also condemn the Americans for encroaching on their spheres of influence. Jackson takes a hit with many for treating the natives badly even by 1800s standards, and the slave owners grow angry as native raids on plantations increases. 53/100 The slave trade remains illegal, but Jackson succeeds in deregulating slavery laws to the point that they’re borderline unenforceable. Jackson wins major support from slavers, but is condemned internationally for the regressive policies. 56/100 The economy remains average. GDP improves slightly, but the benefits mainly go to the rich white slave owners. 15/100 The failed western incursions cause major backlash, and Jackson’s administration becomes an international pariah. His radically pro slavery stances also being the ire of many European nations. 92/100 Jackson’s efforts to disenfranchise voters helps him consolidate support from the remaining voters greatly. The era of good feelings continues, and while many may not like Jackson abroad his domestic popularity soars. Slavery booms too, as the rich whites and poor whites praise Jackson and his recreation of White America. 1828 coming soon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He calls it the “Democratic Party” and invites President Jackson to New York for its first annual convention. President Jackson accepts the invitation and likes this idea of a... Democratic Party. A much needed reorganization of the party as the elitists and Whigs try to prevent the poor white working man from voting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
