The Factions / Political Parties

[_]

Faction Name:  Patriots
Leader:  James Jackson
Ideology:  Limited government.  Southern interests

Core Beliefs:

Monarchy:  Anti-Monarchism, Pro-Republicanism

Slavery:  Pro-Slavery.  Protect the slave trade and fight any attempts to curtail slavery to protect the economy of slave states.

Constitution:  Support.  Will fight to guarantee the rights of states and against the expansion of federal power.

Religion:  Pro-secularism, though religion has a place in American society in keeping the people virtuous.

Taxation/Debt:  Oppose taxation.  Sell off federal lands to settlers to pay off national debt, allow states to pay off their own debts individually.

Foreign Policy:  American interests and neutrality.  Attempt to establish friendly trade relations with other nations while avoiding involvement in their conflicts.

Other:  States' Rights, Pro-Agrarianism.

(Note:  I'd like for the Patriots just to stand in southern/slave states if possible, as I want them to be a southern based faction.)
