Good point about the inflation random event. I don't know if it's still around. If he's elected, I'll hold a mini election to see what the minimum balance should be. He wants to raise it in general, it doesn't -have- to be 500. Crawford wants to maintain it. Jackson doesn't give a damn about that smart-pants stuff.
Brazil became a republic without interference.
I think West Australia has an oil resource, yes.
Hah! Oh, sorry. People must think that Jackson has some nervous tick now. It fits his personality, though.
Wow, this is such a close election...
By the way, I should note that Crawford is endorsed by Thomas Jefferson. However, Jefferson also endorses Jackson's aims to lessen corporate and aristocratic influence. Adams says Jefferson's opinion of Jackson is a symptom of senility. Jefferson, in 1808, praised John Q. Adam's role in foreign diplomacy under his father's administration. Adams' political party tries to dismiss Jackson as unfit for president; portraying him as a mere military chieftain. Jackson wants to cycle politicians so that politicians can't network so much that they become overly corrupt. Unlike Jefferson, Jackson does not care about the education of a politician.
Just some insight on their personalities which for the most part don't affect gameplay, but do affect how I roleplay for them. For the most part, I've had rather calm politicians win so my writing has been pretty neutral. Don't make that a reason to vote in some ding dong loudmouth, though.
Interesting stuff! Wasn't on his wikipedia page. Very nice read.

Wow! What a surprising turn of events. In the very last hours of the election, supporters of President Crawford storm the polls and re-elect him president! John Q. Adams retires in political disgrace, never amounting to the legacy his four term father did. Meanwhile, the murder of an ex-mason sparks the foundation of the Anti-Masonic Party, which wishes to oust all Masons in power.

William H. Crawford's Second Term: 1828-1832
With the declaration of war against Portugal for the security of Brazil in South America, Crawford declares war with Portugal. The war was clean, with no ships being lost in the four years. The Portuguese, however, would lose all their fishing industries and 4 carracks.
Brazil was quickly united without any mainland Portuguese reinforcements. In fact, Brazil even began invasion of their African colonies.
Meanwhile, Crawford negotiated with Argentina for them to open up their ports for trade for only 300 gold.
He also negotiated with England to sell Quebec copper to them for an extravagant price (thus Crawford is solidified in American history as one of the best diplomats)
Crawford sent settlers (which consisted of military, traders, merchants, agrarians, and freed slaves) to South Africa, with plans to quickly invade Cape Town when war is declared on Britain again. There has been discussion of also taking Portuguese colonies and Madagascar.
In 1831, France sent the United States the Statue of Liberty for help in the Napoleonic Wars and the War of 1812.
Domestically, Crawford's second term was very calm. He followed the minimum state treasury, and invested in libraries and observatories. Meanwhile, workers on the west coast are working vigilantly to make that side of the Rocky Mountains as productive as the other side.
