The Democratic Party probably dies sometime in the 19th century, and the Socialists replace it. The Whig Party probably lasts longer as a potent third party in the 1860's with the Republicans, Democrats, and Whigs compeating for power. The Whigs finally die in the 1870's or 1880's.Blochead said:Considering he got broadsided by a sword once, I don't think it's unrealistic to assume that Jackson could have easily not made it through the war alive.
