If DeWitt does successfully get his early peace, what I'dthe rest of his first/only term like (1813-16)? Does the DeWitt administration look to build up America's military, so as the be better prepared for the next war?
@Historyman 14 mentioned Techmseh still being screwed, but what of the native nations more generally? Once the war in Europe is concluded, does the US still look to throw its military weight around? Do the Federalists now enjoy a more successful resurgence? What are the key dividing issues come the 1814 midterms? And how does all this affect how the Election of 1816 plays out?
Hm.
As said, America will avoid the worst of the War of 1812, and be in a far better shape. The Creek War would still happen around this time, and native nations are more screw as the USA is not fighting the British Empire as in OTL, and avoid the worst beatings by the English. (Sot the USA has a ton more to focus on the unruly natives.) At best, the Natives get an extra decade. (At best.)
There is a lot in the air. This would be a America that got a bloody nose, but get out before the worst happen. There not a gutted Capitol and Presidential mansion. No reason to not mess around, and mess with the bear.
No Monroe doctrine, or at least something for it down the road.
DeWitt could focus on patching up matters between America, and Great Britain, and a maritime build up, and trade. The Federalists can be stronger besides dealing with those who call out making peace so soon.
The American economy would be a lot stronger with this and without the US encouraging paper money during that whole war, you'd have a lesser version of the Panic of 1819. (But there would be an panic thanks to Europe, and a War, if only a year something, happen.)
Now wait till after the Napoleonic Wars are over with. (Withstand the buttyfly affect.) and American can jump, and smash the Spanish Empire into Hades. This is the war the whole Union can rally behind, and Spain would be in no shape at all to fight back. Taking Florida, New Orelans/Keep it away from Spain, lands to the west, and in turn support the independence movements in Spanish America, like Mexico's, as part of their war with Spain, giving them leverage to get some massive gains in territory without "just taking it". (Texas in fact already had a low-level rebellion happening during this time.)
