Hey guys. Here's an AAR I'm going to be doing about the United States. This is my second AAR (The first is here) so feel free to tell me what you think. Hope you enjoy it!
Empire of Liberty
In 1796, George Washington, the first president of the new United States of America, decided against running for a third term. This set the precident for each of the elected presidents from John Adams to John Quincy Adams to only remain in office for two terms. In 1835, a uniform date for choosing presidential electors was instituted by the Congress after pressure from Jackson. The new date for elections would be the first of January in years divisible by four.
By the time Andrew Jackson's second term was nearing it's end in the same year, the United States was at a crossroads. There were growing tensions in Mexico over the independence of Texas. Mexico had declared war on the republic on October 2nd, 1835, and the United States seemed to have an opportunity secure their new status as one of the greatest countries in the world in a war against Mexico. Jackson saw this opportunity, and decided to break with precedent and run for a third term.
On January 1st, 1836, Andrew Jackson was elected to his third term and set his eyes to the war in the south.
