1844

[PBrunsel]

Clay opposed Texas anexation, but wanted Oregon. I see a war with Britain, "The Oregon War."

54 40 or fight!

I bet we would have lost land.

I think the British would have invaded, taken Buffalo, NY, quite easily, and the Battle of the Erie Canal would have been quite a fight.

Though President Clay would have made peace before the Brits took D.C.

Generals Taylor and Scott would have been made heroes fighting in Canada, and one would have defeated an unpopular President Clay in the Whig Primary of 1848.
