United States of America (A French World)

The Canadian War
In the early 1800s, British ships captured American ships and sailors, forcing them into work against the French navy. This heavily plauged by the Republican-Democrat party, who led the nation at the time. Finally, in 1812, America, under James Madison went to war against the British.

Early on, America took heavy blows, losing one fifth of its navy, and a tenth of its northern militia. By mid-1813, America was on the verge of being overwhelmed on its northern borders. Months later, on September 5, 1813 Great Britain surrendered to Napoleon. Shortly after, French forces arrived to relieve America. With the flow of British trooops ending, only Canada proved any threat, and the American-French allies took it by storm.

By 1815, Canada was defeated, and in the Treaty of Mexico City, it was divided between America and France. While France claimed Quebec, Ontario, and New Brunswick, with the United States laying claim to the rest.

Slaughter at Toronto
Late in the war, General Andrew Jackson of the Union forces arrived in Toronto. After mssing most of the war while stationed in New Orleans, Jackson was riled for a fight. It was said that when the general spotted a group of 'Frenchies', what the French-backed milita were called, he opened fire, killing them. When French regulars arrived, Jackson's troops opened fire at them as well. At the end of the day, thirty French lay dead.. Napoleon was outraged, demanding Jackson's head.

Madison was able to defuse the situation, fortunetly. This included sacking the general, of course, though. Jackson was later known as the 'Butcher of Ontario' for hi actions.

Election of 1816, 1820 and the Era of the Kings
Due to Madison's handling of the Canadian War, the Republican-Democratic party fell in disfavor with the Union. The Federalists nominated Rufus King, who won against Republican-Democratic candiate James Monroe in a hearty landslide.

Inspired by Napoleon, King enacted the Army Training Acts of 1818. This caused the Union to create an army of measurable size, and accurate traiing, rather than to rely on local militia. King would also pass the Federalist Accords in 1821, after being re-elected. This established an extra tax on all non-Federalists. This caused a large influx of voters joining the Federalist Party.

Election of 1824- Butcher versus Prodigy
In the election of 1824, multiple candiates ran for presidency. Representing the Federalists were John Q. Adams and Henry Clay, while the Republican-Democrats were represented by John C. Calhoun and Walter Leake. A third-party also ran, the War Hawks, speare-headed by
