| Topic | B8 Elects - The Election of 1816 - James Monroe (R) vs Rufus King (F) |
| Anagram 06/03/20 12:39:23 PM #2: | Rufus King I don't like all of the Federalists' proposals, but none of them are complete deal breakers, and King's opposition to slavery is appealing. Monroe clearly doesn't feel strongly about it or actively supports it. Both support the national bank, which is fine, and I don't see much of a problem expanding it. I'm not seeing any significant advantages to Monroe's policies here other than supporting a standing army, which at this point looks like a necessity. --- Not changing this sig until I decide to change this sig.
