I probably would've been a Jeffersonian Democrat against the aristocratic nature of the federalists.
1824 is interesting because I probably wouldn't have like the Brahmin elite nature of Adams nor the populist nature of the Jackson. In the end of it I would've sided with Jackson and his expansion of democracy. Similarly I would've sided with Jackson in 1828 and 1832 while probably not liking the expansionary side of his politics. Similar siding with my Democratic/Jacksonian legacy I'd have sided with Van Buren in 1836 and 1840.
1844 is the first real ? election because Polk was rabid expansionist but I think the chaos of the wig presidency and my democratic nature would've kept me in Polk's fold.
I'd have supported Van Buren in 48 and I think Pierce in 52' out of legacy and Scott not being a compelling alternative.
From 1856, I'd support the republicans with their anti-slavery campaign and after the civil war would look at the democrats as traitors leading me to vote straight republican from 1856 to 1932 (La' Follette in 1924)
The Great Depression would've affected me and would've resulted in me shifting to the Democratic Party and across the FDR years I'd be a moderate new deal democrat on a national level.
Eisenhower-Eisenhower as a military hero and Stevenson being an intellectual would not have appealed to be. I'd have voted for Nixon as continuation as well most likely, before from there voting Straight D
