In the Land of Green Mountains
As the Republic of Vermont permanently became an independent nation, the United States was undergoing a crisis. Following the Whiskey Rebellion, the issue of states' rights came to a head. New York began to encroach on the "rebellious" Vermonters in the name of uniting the country. However, President Washington and the majority of the nation were against such an act. The largest opposition came from New England, long suspicious of New York and its ambitions in Vermont. With the nation in turmoil, the 1796 election took place. In it, former Secretary of State and Republican Thomas Jefferson won over Vice President and Federalist John Adams.

The Congress of United American Colonies

In an historic meeting known as the Albany Congress, Benjamin Franklin's Plan of Union, after weeks of debate which extended the Congress to July 23rd, was adopted. With the approval of the Crown in Britain, it was agreed that all twelve colonies would sign onto the plan. In 1756, the now-formalized Congress of United American Colonies, met for the first time. While the official President-General was appointed by the King, the President Pro-Tempore would be elected every March 4th by the Congress to preside over the more detailed aspects of running the Congress.

The Congress provided a good framework for the colonies during the Seven Years' War. Under President Pro Tempore and later President-General Franklin, a number of new internal improvements were able to take place, including the creation of a new network of roads between the colonies and the post-office. However, with taxes already high in order to fund these projects, things took a slow turn for the worst following the end of the Seven Years' War. With new taxes from Britain in addition to the high domestic taxes, Americans were outraged. While general peace was maintained, tensions soon began exploding, especially upon the election of Peyton Randolph of Virginia as President Pro Tempore. This led to the creation of political parties, with the Loyalists representing a more conservative and pro-British faction. With the British seeing trouble on the horizon, they soon took over the elections in order to ensure dominance for the Loyalist Party. Not even President-General Thomas Hutchinson, who'd made his reputation on being able to "squash the dissidents in Massachusetts" had a chance of maintaining order. Replaced by War Hero George Washington, there was hope for some unity and compromise to be brought forth. However, in the wake of seeing the assignments he was receiving from Britain as to how to handle protesters, he resigned. Eventually, war broke out in 1779 with the newer and more tough Jeffery Amherst in charge and Loyalists with complete dominance in Congress. By 1783, the new American Civil War had resulted in the slaughtering of a number of Congressmen on both sides, dis-solution of the Congress, and the slaying of President-General Henry Clinton.

Meanwhile, the newly formed Congress of the American Confederation elected former President Pro Tempore John Hancock to the post of new President. On the war front, with the dissolution of Congress, the British were unable to maintain a certain level of popular support. As well, with aging hero George Washington appointed by the CAC as Secretary at War and former independent Congressman and General Benedict Arnold leading ground troops, it seemed like the Patriots might actually win the American Civil War. By 1786, with the war having raged for years, the Patriots finally struck the lasting blow at the Battle of Chesapeake. With President Patrick Henry and Secretary of State John Adams having negotiated treaties with the Dutch and the French, the British forces had been heavily reduced. Finally, on July 4th, a day to be forever known as Independence Day, the British surrendered.

As for Benjamin Franklin, known for decades as "The World's American", he found himself strongly supporting American Independence as conflict throughout the 1760's and early 1770's wore on. "It is quite obvious America has matured to the point in culture and society where national autonomy is required and is, in fact, necessary", he said upon departing from office as President Pro Tempore in 1774. He had worn out his welcome with the British and returned to Philadelphia where it was safer and he was in a better position. Elected President of the Pennsylvania Legislature in 1776, he would serve there until 1782 when he became the first Secretary of State for the Congress. Retiring in 1786, he was replaced by John Adams. Franklin, treated by many as "The Father of his Nation", would go down in history, known of by all Americans as a historical giant. The state of Franklin, just West of North Carolina, is named after him.

Meanwhile, George Washington, following the end of the war in 1786, many called upon him to run for Congress and be elected Persident of the CAC. However, Washington, having already served as PPT and P-G, had no desire for personal power. He did consent, however, to continuing to head America's army until his death in 1792, where he died at his home in Virginia following large rainstorms. He was replaced by Benedict Arnold.

An Earlier Rise of the Roosevelts

Isaac Roosevelt (1726-1794)
In 1789, while searching for a Treasury Secretary, George Washington considered many folks. However, with Alexander Hamilton (the recommendation of Washington's first choice, Roger Morris) instead taking a seat in the United States Senate along side his father-in-law Phillip Schuyler, Hamilton recommended the former President of the Bank of New York and his former business partner Isaac Roosevelt. Roosevelt had been a longstanding politician in New York and was of course one of its foremost bankers. Dedicated to public service, Roosevelt agreed to take the position. With advice from his good friend Hamilton as well as ideas coming from Roger Morris (then a PA Senator), Roosevelt set out to create a strong and prosperous Republic. Roosevelt died in 1794 and was replaced by Gouverneour Morris. Hamilton would later die in a duel with the Senator who replaced his father-in-law: Aaron Burr.

James Roosevelt (1760-1847)
For James Roosevelt, son of Isaac, there would be a large legacy to live up to. The son of a man who had risen both in business and in politics to become 2nd President of the Bank of New York and 1st United States Treasury Secretary, Isaac soon found himself engaged in politics. In 1796 he joined the New York State Assembly. In 1804, following a few years in the Assembly, and a couple as an Alderman in New York City, Roosevelt was elected Governor of New York as a Federalist in a three-way race with former Senator Aaron Burr and State Senator Morgan Lewis. In 1807 he lost re-election to Daniel D. Thompkins.

Retiring from politics for a spell and going back to banking, Roosevelt was elected President of the Bank of New York in 1809. A staunch supporter of President Madison in the election of 1812 against his fellow New Yorker DeWitt Clinton (who in fact was the nephew of the late Vice President George Clinton, a New York rival of Roosevelt when he'd been in politics), Roosevelt, through newspapers, begged other Federalists to stand up for their country instead of England and support President Madison. Madison went on to win the election narrowly. Later in life, as the Federalists died off, James Roosevelt become one of the many nationalist Republicans (to be later termed as Democratic-Republicans in order to make history less confusing). In 1815 with the War of 1812 over, James Monroe left the War Department. In order to help unify and strengthen his party, Madison selected Roosevelt to replace Monroe. James Roosevelt served as the nation's War Secretary from 1815 to 1817. Elected Governor of New York for a second term in 1822, Roosevelt's final political act would be to cast his vote as an elector in favor of Secretary of State John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts.

Isaac Roosevelt (1790-1863)
Isaac, unlike his namesake and his father, had little interest in politics. However, politics seemed to find him. Initially only serving in the New York State Assembly during the 1810's at the behest of family members, he found what he thoughts was his true calling as a banker and businessman, in fact being ranked as the richest man in the United States in 1819. However, the debate over slavery would find a place in his heart as he became an active abolitionist among New York's aristocracy. At the 1844 Whig National Convention, Isaac supported Daniel Webster and in 1845 he was elected a Senator from New York. In the Senate he campaigned fiercely for the abolitionist cause. Such was his prominence on the issue that his name was submitted to the 1848 Whig Convention. While not nominated for President, he did win the Vice Presidential nomination in a surprise. In all irony he found himself on a ticket that was being opposed by former President Van Buren, a man that Roosevelt had come to respect over the last eight years.

As Vice President, Roosevelt was kept largely out of the limelight. That all changed however on July 8th, 1850 with the sudden death of President Zachary Taylor....

To Be Continued....

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

With an anti-slavery Northern at the helm, congressional relations soon began to fall apart. Attempts at compromise made by "the triumvirate" were stalled due to the new President's abolitionist stance. With tensions growing greater by the day, it became clear that Roosevelt's administration would not be one of success. Nevertheless, he pressed on, continuing to veto attempts at compromise. Congressional negotiations came to a stand-still and it seemed that the only reason the nation hadn't begun to break apart was that those in the Senate had agreed to wait until after the 1852 elections to settle their disagreements.

The 1852 election found a President without a party. Roosevelt, forced to run on the Free Soil ticket for re-election, was going up against former Attorney General John Crittenden of Kentucky (W) and former Senator Franklin W. Pierce.

36. George Marshall (Republican-Pennsylvania) January 20th, 1953-January 20th, 1961


1940 Election
The war in Europe soon became unpopular and with repeated losses under President Knox, protests soon began to swell. With Senator Lindbergh leading the charge on capitol hill, there was significant pressure to pull out, however, President Knox and the narrow Republican majority refused. With Republicans more unpopular than ever, the stage was set for a Populist re-emergence. In the 1940 election they  nominated their foreign policy leader Lindbergh along with Populist darling Robert La Follette Jr. The ticket was helped greatly when Republican Governor Henry Ford of Michigan endorsed it.

Senator Charles Lindbergh (P-MI)/Senator Robert La Follette Jr. (P-WI) 427 electoral votes, 55.3% of the popular vote
President Franklin Knox (R-IL)/Vice President James W. Wadsworth Jr. (R-NY) 104 electoral votes, 42.7% of the popular vote

1944
The last four years had been a disappointment. While America had withdrawn from the conflict and American boys were home safe, it was at a great cost internationally. As Germany continued to bombard England and Japan had gained a large foothold in mainland China, Secretary of State Ford had held firm in his conviction of American isolation. However, on the domestic front, little had been accomplished. While tariffs had been ramped up (much to the pleasure of Mid-Western Populists but not Western ones) and a large interstate highway system had been approved, not much had been done to directly improve the lives of the American people. With the Republican nomination of Governor Thomas Dewey of New York, a moderate in almost every way and therefore designed to win 51% of the American people, the Populists were on the run. However, Lindbergh remained determined and embarked on a cross-country tour. His speeches helped hold down the West--where poorer farmers had been dis-satisfied with the administration, the South, and of course part of his very own Mid-West. While Republicans captured the big vote states, Lindbergh's hard work had managed to creat a coalition to deliver him re-election.

President Charles Lindbergh (Populist-Michigan)/Vice President Robert La Follette Jr. (Populist-Wisconsin) 290 electoral votes, 49.8% of the popular vote
Governor Thomas Dewey (Republican-New York)/Governor John W. Bricker (Republican-Ohio) 241 electoral votes, 46.4% of the popular vote

Forgot he was German born. Oh well, I was just messing around a little.

It'd still be cool to have a Kissinger Presidency, but sadly impossible.

29. Charles August Lindbergh, father of the famous pilot, was elected in 1920 on a massively anti-Wilson platform, calling for the destruction of the federal reserve and a "return to normalcy" on the foreign policy front. One of the issues had been Wilson's jailing of famous socialist candidate Vladimir Lenin. Lindbergh proved at first an effective president but as the mid-terms passed, he soon began running into trouble with party bosses. Despite personal popularity, it was believed that he wouldn't be allowed re-nomination in 1924. Then he died.

31. Winston Churchill, a former "Rough Rider", Senator from New York, and a member of Henry Cabot Lodge's Irreconcilables, was chosen for Vice President in 1924 and was elected President four years later. He bucked the Republican trend and decided not to support Smoot-Hawley. Nevertheless, the stock market crash destroyed his Presidency and most of his presidency was spent attempting to fix the problem, but with little avail.

32. Joe Steel as he was called, had made his bones as the son of poor immigrants in New York City. With shady socialist ties in the 1910's, he was nevertheless able to rise through the ranks of Tammany Hall and had narrowly won the 1930  New York gubernatorial election. Enacting massive reforms, two years later he stormed into the presidency. However, the "Man of Steel" was unable to maintain his machine on a national level and with the collapse of Tammany Hall under the efforts of gang-busting DA Thomas Dewey, President Steel was brought to court, narrowly evading charges. With many of his programs repealed by the Supreme Court, Joe Steel went down in flames to Senate Majority Leader Charles McNary in 1936.

33. McNary, a devout isolationist, had chosen fellow isolationist, Ohio Senator Alexander Hitler, for Vice President. Despite the urgings of internationalists, including new Senate Majority Leader Winston Churchill, of taking out the Nazi threat in Europe, McNary and his administration stood firm. The 1940 Republican National Convention was rocked by news two weeks earlier that England had fallen to Germany. With McNary's credibility destroyed, he stepped aside. However, his Vice President tried, with failure, to keep the nomination in the hands of isolationists.

34. Politically back from the grave, Winston Churchill proceeded to launch war against Nazi Germany and its allies. Re-elected in a land-slide in 1944, Churchill had seemingly gone form one of the worst American presidents to one of the country's greatest. However, the post-war economy and American opposition to getting into war with the Soviet Union led to Democratic backlash against Churchill's presidency.

35. President Valera is known as the nation's first Catholic President and as a proud social conservative. Too conservative, too "Roman" in fact, for America. In 1952 the Democrats instead nominate his Vice President for his job.

37. President Heath had been nominated in a deal between the GOP's conservative and liberal factions. The monetarist, moderate Governor of Connecticut, he was the compromise candidate between Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York and Senator John W. Bricker of Ohio. His administration was seen as largely a liberal one, as, while taxes were raised, benefits were by-and-large expanded and universal healthcare was even passed.

38. Born the son of steel workers in Pennsylvania, Brezhnev's appeal to the working class in the 1964 election was the main reason he won. Compared to Heath's upper-class "elitism", Brezhnev was a man of the people. A veteran of World War II and two-term Governor of Pennzylvani, during his term, the War in Vietnam was escalated to an incredible height. Meawhile, inflation set in as he repealed many of Heath's middle-class tax cuts while keeping expenditures at record highs.

39. Kissinger, a one-term Senator from New York, was another compromise. However, Kissinger, unlike Heath, had the wherewithall to hold the Grand Old Party together. Publicly a hawk and a proud supporter of the free market, he nevertheless negotiated behind the scenes with the Soviet Union, made the first visit to Red China, and negotiated the end of the Vietnam War. He became known during the later years of his presidency as an incredible womanizer, somewhat destroying his credibility.

42. Margaret Thatcher, the nation's first female President and Vice President, and a highly popular President following the Gulf War, nevertheless went down to defeat in 1992 following unpopular budget cuts.

43. President Blair introduced the "Third-Way" and "Triangulation" into American domestic policy for the first time and worked well with the Republican controlled Congress.

45. Derided by many as the "Most Pro-Oil Administration in history", President Bush nonetheless was able to win a second term, due mainly to the then-popularity of the Georgian War. However, throughout his second term, his administration was the target of several conspiracy charges. Many viewed Vice President Putin as the "power behind the throne" and accused the Republicans of neo-imperialistic policies. Putin's past as a DCI (1987-1992) and Defense Secretary (replacing the late George H.W. Bush, assassinated by Saddam's forces in 1992, 1992-1993) didn't help, nor did his experience as an oil lobbyist before his election to the Governorship of Alaska in 1998.

The Death of King George I

1. George Washington I of Mount Vernon 1785-1799

With the death of King George, dubbed by those on both sides as "The one man capable of sustaining the union", the nation fell into anarchy. His appointed heir failed to be crowned and the palace on Potomac was lit up in flames by rioters. To the North, a convention of the Society of Cincinnati declared its authority in restoring order. Led by First Chancellor of the Treasury, Lord Representing Manhattan, and newly appointed General Alexander Hamilton, New York City was captured from its state of chaos and eventually Albany was put under control by the Society. Meanwhile to the South, on his estate of Monticello, Lord Governor of Virginia and Advisor on Matters of State Thomas Jefferson, a man who himself had been quite opposed to the establishment of a monarchy, resigned his posts and, with a meeting of allies from Virginia and its neighbors to the South, organized the United Republic of America. With the Society of Cincinnatus gaining control of the North and the U.R.A. quickly gaining support in the South and West, civil war began.

With a much better organized military and support from the Atlantic Coast in states such as Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina, the Society soon had the upper hand. However, they were unwilling to venture into the Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountain areas where Jefferson had gained support. An unofficial understanding had been reached by 1803, with the United Republic of America being relegated to an alienated and provincial power in Southern and Western America while the Society of Cincinnatus organized an official government in New York City, called the American Federation.

However, with the dispute between the powerful yet restrained American Federation and the loosely organized and provincial United American Republic winding down, veterans of the war, mainly on the A.F. side, began the demand for payment, either in tracts of land or in money. With that, First Lord Hamilton authored the Federal Proclamation Concerning Payment to Soldiers of 1803. This granted the right to lands in the Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois territories. With many soldiers jumping at the opportunity to claim estates of their own on America's Western frontier, a thing string of migration West began. On a cold Winter day in February of 1812, Winfield Scott, a veteran of both the War of Federation and later Indian wars, stumbled upon a camp made by Commander William Clark, deep in the Illinois Territory. Clark had been headed West to examine the Republic's new lands in Louisiana, claimed from its ally France. With this new encounter and subsequent conflict over rights to Western lands, the War of 1812 began.

First Lords of the American Federation
1. Alexander Hamilton of Manhattan 1801-1814
2. Charles Cotesworth Pinckney of Charleston 1814-1825
3. Philip Hamilton of Manhattan 1825-1827
4. Stephen Van Rensselaer of Albany 1827-1839
5. Winfield Scott of the Northwest 1839-1860

Presidents of the United Republic of America
1. Thomas Jefferson of Virginia 1799-1807
2. James Madison of Virginia 1807-1815
3. James Monroe of Virginia 1815-1819
3. William Clark, Republican of Missouri 1819-1827
4. Andrew Jackson, Republican of Tennessee 1827-1835
4. Henry Clay, National of Kentucky 1835-1843
5. James K. Polk, Republican of Tennessee 1843-1847
6. Zachary Taylor, National of Lousiana 1847-1850
7. John J. Crittenden, National of Kentucky 1850-1851
8. William Walker, Republican of Sonora 1851-1859

Following the Resolution of the War of 1812, the two nations gained a detente of sorts, with the Republic's rights to the Louisiana Purchase being respected and the Federation instead expanding to the North and strengthening its own industrial and military strength, centered around the Great Lakes area. It was only with Lord Scott's abolition of slavery in 1853 and the ambitions of President William Walker to "save our fellow lovers of liberty in the Federation" that the two nations again went to war. This time the Federation held a distinct advantage, the type it hadn't held since the War of Federation. With a strong military and well fueled industrial center, attempts by the wild Republican militias to take over coastal and southern parts of the federation were ill-fated and in the process, the Republic was severely weakened in the Northwest, losing Illinois, Missouri, vasts swathes of the former Louisiana Purchase, and any claim to lands farther North. President Walker, in his final two years in office, devoted his time to expanding the Republic south into the Caribbean to make up for his country's massive defeat.
