Part Two
1812: President Levi Lincoln retires on the onset of the war of 1812, the closest election ever is pitched battle between Madison of the DR's (who rejoined after rebelling in 1808 to oppose Lincoln) and Federalist Senator Rufus King of New York. Maintaining a pro-war stance in the South and a  anti-war stance in the north , King narrowly defeats Madison.

1816: After ensuring the end of the War of 1812, President King recieves only nominal oppostion from former Virginia governor James Monroe. A era of Good Feeling sweeps the Nation.

1820: President King's retirement leaves the race open between 1816 DR candidate James Monroe and King's Secretary of State , John Q. Adams son of the first Vice-President. King's popularity and the continuing of the Era of Good Feeling makes the election a confortable win for Adams but the election is much closer than 1816 with Monroe doing well in the South .

Part Three
John Q. Adams (F-Massachusetts) 1821-1825
Andrew Jackson (D-Tennessee)     1825-1833

1824: President John Q. Adams recieve serious opposition from General Andrew Jackson, Senator Henry Clay and Attorney General William Crawford.  Clay  withdraws midway through the campaign and Crawford suffers a stroke making it a two man race between Jackson and Adams.  Jackson's popularity with the western and southern United States is too much for Adams to overcome and he becomes the first president to be defeated for reelection.

1828: This election is a rematch of the 1824 election between President Andrew Jackson and Ex-President John Q. Adams. The economy is going well and Jackson's popularity ensures his re-election.

1832: Popular President Andrew Jackson retires after the customary two terms.  The Democrats nominate the War of 1812 hero Richard Johnson who was famous for killing the Indian leader Tecumseh hoping to elect another war hero.  The whigs nominated Senator Henry Clay of Kentucky. The election hinged on the issue of renewing The Second Bank of the unitUnited States. The election was very close with the State of PEnnsylvania deciding the elction in favour of Clay.

Part Four
Henry Clay (W-Kentucky) 1833-1841
Martin Van Buren (D-New York) 1841-1849
1836: In his first term as president , Henry Clay renewed the Second Bank of the United States , much to the mispleausure of the Democrats. The Democrats field the 1832 Vice Presidential candidate Martin Van Buren.  Van Buren is able to run a decent campaign mostly on the charges of Clay's  corruption, but the strong US economy helped Clay win reelection narrowly.

1840: President Henry Clay retires  leaving  former Senator  and Indian War Hero William Harrison to protect his record during the current recession. The Democrats again nominate Martin Van Buren who thinks he has his best chance at getting elected with a weak economy. The weak economy dominates the economy much to the displeasure of the Whigs who were hoping to run on Harrison's war record. Van Buren wins the election in a landslide
