Oliver Hazard Perry (Citizens') 1815-1817
1816: suspended
Treaty of London signed 1817
"The Rebellion of 1776 was always headed to failure from the start. The Janus-headed revolution of Northern mercantilism and Southern agrarianism breeding starkly different views, once left alone revelled in its contradictions. The Northern mercantiles created the Merchant's Association, aka the 'Mercantile Party'. Due to trade interests still pinned with the mother country, the Mercantiles was always arguing against war with Britain, instead casting scepticism on America's relationship with the now unstable and revolutionary France. The 'Assembly of Citizens', aka the Citizens' Party, was direct from the Southern elite. Those people were the ones who saw France as a role model and was deep in Enlightenment thinking despite the sheer contradiction their words of liberty had with their acts of slavery.
With President Irwin authorising war against Britain in an incredibly divisive move in 1811, the stage was set for the most bitter election in the young republic's history, and by a slim hair Alexander Hamilton won. Hamilton was known to be a staunch opposer of allying with the 'barbarous' French and for a peace with Britain. The Citizens got antsy and paranoid talk of Hamilton 'signing away American liberties' spread. With the war turning shaky and John Jay sent to London to negotiate an amiable peace, many became convinced that Hamilton was a British spy came to undermine America. So Oliver Hazard Perry made his move.
The coup of 1815 destroyed the last facade of American 'democracy' and established that might made right. With President Hamilton rotting in an unknown cell, his faction was outraged and in London, William Pitt made his move. Declaring that Perry's regime was illegitimate, the British Government would 'welcome prodigial sons back into the fold'. As Perry and the Citizens' Party became more authoritarian and implemented 'Atrocious Acts that would blanch even the most dyed-blue Patriot', the Mercantiles shifted more and more towards Pitt's Promise. In the end, with little Vermont being the first to declare that Perry 'has made our whole Revolution all a Farce' shortly after the 1816 election was suspended 'in the Interests of national Order', many followed.
And with many states including his native Rhode Island (by a bitter and slim margin) defecting, Perry found that winning the war became impossible. And as British forces surrounded the White House, President Perry glumly realised that the cause was lost.
The Treaty that followed only recognised the inevitable - the United States was no more."
Decided to try an early 19th century USA list for the fun of it.
