DBWI: James Madison doesn't commit suicide?

No, no, he is, in the most literal sense, asking the complete opposite of that. He's asking WI Madison had not committed suicide. Which happened in real life - Madison didn't commit suicide.

You are correct, my last sentence is quite incorrect. None-the less, a DBWI works best when tied to a specific event that did in fact happen in OTL rather than non-specific generalities that did not.
 
Madison was fighting a losing battle, it was his successor who found a good general. The major turning point happened when the English lost the race across the ocean against the French, from that point on, the British were effectively blocked from sending more troops or supplies.
