Octosteel - The American Prophet
So I kind of love the setting of Bioshock Infinite so I was thinking what's the most plausible way we could get a self-proclaimed Prophet in charge of government during that era. Hence this list. Sorry if it's way too long and unrealistic to boot. I tried my best but I'm still unhappy with it so I'd love some feedback.
The American Prophet
1877-1881: Samuel J. Tilden / Thomas Hendricks (Democratic)
1876: Ulysses S. Grant / Elihu Washburne (Republican), Peter Cooper / Samuel Cary (Greenback)
It came to pass that in 1876, just over a decade after the Civil War during which they had been branded "the party of traitors" and just four years after an election in which they did not even field a candidate, the Democratic Party would reclaim the White House largely due to one man: Ulysses S. Grant.
Now, Grant could have been forgiven for thinking at the time that him running for a third term was a splendid idea. After all, he had won in 1872 despite his party being divided and his administration scandalized. It seemed the country trusted Grant, and he trusted the her.
But the Long Depression was taking its toll on the people's perception as the mental image of the great general taking Lee's at Appomattox was replaced with an aloof politician vetoing a popular relief bill. So when Grant seized the nomination for a third time by slapping down the demoralized Liberal Republican opposition, he found himself campaigning in front of an electorate that had seen its patience eroded. With little on economic successes to speak of, Grant instead would focus his campaign on his foreign policy. He reminded the nation that he had tried to annex Santa Domingo, but that his political opponents had prevented him. It was God's will for the nation to expand yet Democrats had opposed it. He appealed to nationalism. He appealed to Christian faith. He never said Manifest Destiny or "go west, young man", but the thought was on everyone's mind. A passion that was buried upon the Civil War found itself burrowing its head out again.
Tilden's classical liberal and anti-imperialist Democrats would seize the day though as the economy was just too bad to ignore and beyond what hi-jinks by Republican Governors could overcome, but Grant did better than some expected considering the circumstances. Meanwhile, farmers unsatisfied with both parties rallied behind the newly formed Greenback Party. Farmers were tired of being ignored and demanded to be taken seriously. More on that later.
Tilden's term was what one could expect from a Gilded Age President: average. He walked the country out of the Depression while cutting taxes and half-heartedly attempting some civil service reform. He reminded all that he was a former railroad lawyer when he responded to the railroad strikes in Pittsburgh with armed troops which served only to radicalize those dispossessed workers both in cities and in the country. While he sent troops to Pittsburgh, he pulled them out of the South, allowing his party to reign supreme once again below the Mason-Dixon which would come in handy in 1880.
1881-1885: Samuel J. Tilden / John Palmer (Democratic)
1880: John Sherman / Horace Maynard (Republican), James Weaver / Barzillai Chambers (Greenback)
Tilden, as unhealthy as he was, would run again in some sense from pressure by Democratic bosses unsure if any of their people could actually win. Tilden reached out to Republicans by putting former Republican Governor and general John Palmer on the ticket, the mugwumpiest of the mugwumps.
The Republicans were more divided. While some wanted to run Grant again, his sickness that he could from his world tour was serious enough that the proposal was abandoned. Conkling's Stalwarts and Blaine's Half-Breeds clashed as expected which led to a rather long and drawn out convention, compromising with the world's least exciting ticket of always dull Senator John Sherman and the half dead Horace Maynard. Perhaps running the brother of the man who burnt down Atlanta was not the best man to run in the first election where white supremacist Redeemer governments had seized most of the states but oh well. Sherman was canny in one sense in that he reused the popular Grant platform of focusing on foreign policy, specifically imperialism as per God's wishes. Sherman, as one of the supporters of an amendment making America officially a Christian nation, brought out the idea of this amendment to the public to build on the past campaigns and found it to be remarkably popular if relatively meaningless. It seemed these social issues would evoke just as much excitement as economic ones which put the pieces for one crafty Republican Senator to create a winning coalition.
In the background, the face of agrarian populism that the Greenbacks represented was changing. With a newfound religiosity in America both in politics and in concurrence with the Third Great Awakening, the doctrine of Social Gospel was rising. Christ promised to return on this earth once again, but this would only be after the Millennium where Christian beliefs and ethics prosper. To do it, man would have to fix the earth, and if something as horrific as the Long Depression and all the suffering it inflicted could happen, clearly the world was not ready. Everyone would need to be taken care of and that meant making sure farmers, the forgotten class, was cared for. You see, agrarian populism was not some selfish vote by an economically distressed class. It was the will of God! It would just take time to develop.
1885-1888: James G. Blaine / Chester Arthur (Republican)
1884: Thomas F. Bayard / Allen G. Thurman (Democratic), Benjamin F. Butler / Absolom M. West (Greenback/Anti-Monopoly), John St. John / William Daniel (Prohibition)
1888-1889: James G. Blaine / VACANT (Republican)
James Blaine was considered the most corrupt man in Washington, but the fact that he managed to stay in office showed a certain political cunning as well. Seizing the nomination after compromising with Conkling through Chester Arthur as Vice President, Blaine would run on a campaign lambasting the Tilden administration for its refusal to expand America as God willed it. Manifest Destiny was called destiny for a reason, but foolish Tilden didn't know it! He captured the fire of Grant with the detailed proposals of Sherman and crushed the colorless Bayard. After eight long years, Republicans were back in the White House.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Butler took control of the now faltering Greenbacks. The Long Depression was way in the past, and the issue wasn't resonating anymore. But Butler didn't care about that. He didn't abandon his successful political career to take over some dying party. No, Butler wanted more than that. He wanted a grand alliance of these smaller single-issue parties to smash the corrupt two party system. Through fusion voting, anything was possible! Well, except that was a lot harder than it seemed. In the end, Butler would only manage to get the Greenback and Anti-Monopoly Party nominations, but even with that, he received more votes than the Prohibition Party. It got people's attention. Maybe there could be a viable third party. Perhaps a party that included farmer's rights and prohibition
Perhaps in another world, the paths of imperialism and agrarian populism would continue down its separate paths. But instead in 1885, one of the leaders of the Social Gospel movement would write his magnum opus that would seize the country by its heart. Our Country: Its Possible Future and Its Present Crisis by Josiah Strong would codify in flowing polemic that it was God's will to colonize and spread His Word to those unknowing masses, that we as the Anglo-Saxon race was God's chosen people to Christianize and civilize the world, that God gave us this land that we call America because it is our Promised Land and is holy as that of Jerusalem. But yet even the Holy Land can be corrupted as it was by Pharisees and heretics as Jerusalem turns to Gomorrah. So it is to prevent this that we must fight against the great perils facing this nation: Catholicism, Mormonism, Socialism, Intemperance, Wealth, Urbanization, and Immigration.
There is no doubt a copy landed on the President's desk. Whether it be that the book convinced Blaine or just aware how much of the country was convinced that Blaine began to follow the teachings in the book. When the Berlin Conference came about (slightly delayed due to Tilden having denied Belgian King Leopold's wish for the United States to recognize his ownership of the Congo) for all the nations to carve out what parts of Africa would go to who, Blaine would demand that America have its place in the sun. It was this insistence and the fact that Bismarck didn't want France nor Britain to have it that the Conference agreed, much to Leopold's chagrin, that Congo would be given to the United States as long as the US didn't bother the Europeans about Africa again. The news was met with great cheers back in the States as missionaries began to prepare to make a trip across the Atlantic as Strong's book encouraged. Strong himself began to build a strong network to support missionaries visiting Africa which would only increase his fame and prestige. Manifest Destiny and faith became intertwined in ways never expected before.
1889-1893: James G. Blaine / Russell Alger (Republican)
1888: Samuel Randall / Isaac P. Gray (Democratic), Leonidas L. Polk / Ignatius Donnelly (Farmer's Alliance/Union Reform), Clinton Fisk / John Brooks (Prohibition)
Blaine would win his reelection by continuing to hammer home his strengths. He was already known across the country as an anti-Catholic man for his actions in pushing the failed Blaine Amendment. Seeing as it seemed to only help him, he successfully pushed the amendment again. Blaine would also pass Sherman's Christian Amendment to establish the United States as a Christian nation. On matters of nationalism, Blaine would build up the navy and enact immigration restrictions to prevent Catholics and Celestials from entering the US in the mass waves that they did in the past. After a failed push to take Santa Domingo once again, Blaine instead annexed the Kingdom of Hawaii into the Union. The classical liberal Bourbon Democrats protested these popular actions which would lead to Blaine easily defeated Minority Leader Randall in 1888.
When the remains of the Greenbacks merged together in 1889 into the People's Party aka the Populists explicitly on Social Gospel principles, Blaine found himself rather concerned. Blaine was considering doing what Washington Wouldn't and Grant Couldn't, winning the fabled third term. As someone who had contributed to the religious fervor in the country, he could easily see how that it could be used against him by a skilled and popular preacher like Josiah Strong. So Blaine decided he would knock Strong out of the picture. In 1889, he announced that he would be appointing Josiah Strong as Territorial Governor of the American Congo, a task which the pastor took with much fervor. Under Strong, Leopoldville would be renamed New Jamestown to mark this historic moment in American imperialism while ordering the natives into church and to behave more "civilized" as he began to work to make the colony profitable.
When Polish merchant mariner Józef Konrad arrived in New Jamestown, he would ride how the city looked like a normal American city with colonial style buildings. The natives would go to the magnificently built church on Sundays and be dressed according to western cultures. But Konrad remarked that there was a deadness in their eyes that he remembered many years later. Yet his writings would get little attention. Americans were happy to hear that Strong was bringing profits and faith to the colony while Blaine was pleased when the People's Party nominated an elderly Washington Gladden, a has-been in Social Gospel circles. His scheme had worked and secured him reelection to a third term.
1893-1897: James G. Blaine / William McKinley (Republican)
1892: David B. Hill / William Vilas (Democratic), Washington Gladden / Ignatius Donnelly (People's), John Bidwell / James Cranfill (Prohibition)
It all started with a coup in Argentina that managed to annihilate agricultural prices. Then it turned into a panic on the banks. Then banks started running out of money. After a prosperous decade, it seemed the horrors of the 1870s were coming back as another Depression hit the United States.
It was under this setting that Josiah Strong felt great concern for his people. He was uncertain what he could do during these trying times to alleviate the suffering of Americans while he was trying to civilize the Congo. During a particularly nasty outbreak of malaria, Strong was incapacitated in his bed, struck with illness. It was then that an angel appeared before Strong, identifying herself as Angel Columbia, the protector of America. Columbia delivered a message from God that while there was a great amount of work to be done outside of America, the Holy Land needed him now. He was to resign from his governorship and get on the next ship to America. Upon arriving, he was to restore Christ's church, to spread the Word, and to alleviate the suffering of His people. Strong obeyed the angel and even in illness, set upon his God-given task.
America had been full of "prophets" throughout its history. They tended to either be laughed at or extend their followers to a sizable but still small small group in the grand scheme of things. So it was likely that if Strong had made this announcement at another period of time or if he had not been a celebrated and famed preacher and writer already read by millions across the country or perhaps even if the nation had not been fed for the past decade how expansion was their God-given destiny and that America was a special and exceptional land from God Almighty himself. But the timing was perfect, and the Prophet returned to the Promised Land to a nation that hardship had made humble enough to bow before the throne of God, to accept his messenger, and enter the halls of his blessed and holy Church of Columbia.
Some would accuse Strong of planning the whole thing. Was it purely by chance that he was to return to America right when the country was most receptive for a message of hope? Was it purely by chance that his governorship of the Congo allowed him to amass a fortune so that he had the capital to build his church from the ground up? Was this all by chance that the ideas that this angel supposedly told him to found the church on was practically the things he had been writing all these years anyway? It was not chance, Strong would say. For the Lord works in mysterious way, his invisible hand of providence guiding his Prophet until he was ready for the message. The "convenience" of it all proved only that he truly was the Prophet, and it was through His Church that the suffering of his sheep would be alleviated with the social services the government under the Republicans and the newly empowered Democrats would not provide. Salvation would come not from the White House, but from the Temple.
So it was so that Strong would continue to sow the seeds for his rise as another election passed.
1897-1898: William Russell / John Palmer (Democratic)
1896: James Forsyth / Matthew Quay (Republican), Charles E. Bentley / Thomas Watson (People's / Prohibition), Eugene Debs / Charles Matchett (Socialist Labor)
1896 was a time of change. The Republicans, having had their bench hollowed out by a nasty midterm and Blaine's own sidelining of anyone talented for his ambition's sake, nominated a war hero and celebrity, the Man Who Tamed The West, out of desperation more than anything. The Populists, smarting from their less than impressive showing with Gladden due to his pro-Catholic views, decided no longer could they split the religious vote with the Prohibition Party and forged a unity ticket with pastor Charles Bentley. But it was the Democrats that produced a real man of change. The youngest nominee for President in American history, the Massachusetts Governor William Russell ran on Bourbonite principles of sound money. Paired with former Vice President John Palmer to show this wasn't a totally inexperienced ticket, Russell's earnest and optimistic speeches would win the day as a nation thoroughly disenchanted with Blaine and the Republicans chose new leadership somewhat skeptically.
Russell would prove to be a perfectly fine economic leader who would ignore calls for bimetallism and would just ride out the economic storm. The problems arose when foreign policy came into the picture, when Bourbon anti-imperialism clashed with the nation's Manifest Destiny urges. With Spain weak and Cuba wide open for the taking, the yellow press blew a gasket at Russell for not seizing the territory and declaring war. Even when the warship Maine exploded in Havana harbor, Russell insisted that it was an accident and no action will be taken. Strong could take it no longer. In a speech carried by all the newspapers, Strong declared that Russell would be punished for denying God's will in taking Cuba, that he would not serve out the rest of his term. That this man claiming to be a prophet would suggest that the 41-year old Governor would somehow fail to finish his term was met with laughter throughout the country. It was met with eerie silence when President Russell would die of heart failure three days later.
The Prophet had spoken.
1898-1901: John Palmer / VACANT (Democratic)
The nation's youngest President would be succeeded by the nation's oldest President, but it was almost like there was no difference. Palmer held strong that there was no need for war against Spain much to the nation's fury. The Democrats suffered in the midterms, some to the Republicans but mostly to the Populists. The nation didn't trust the Democrats on foreign policy, and it didn't trust the Republicans on fiscal policy which left only one party left.
Meanwhile, Strong continued to gain strength as his Church's social services became more and more in need with the Bourbons and business Republicans continuing to offer little relief to those struggling and as people continued to be uncertain of what to make of Strong's fulfilled prophecy. Whether if his Church of Columbia movement which mixed American nationalism, imperialism, and Christianity together could gain nationwide attraction wasn't certain until the Boxer Rebellion. When raging Celestials slaughtered thousands of foreigners including Americans in Peking, Palmer would respond with righteous indignation backed by some handful of ships and marines. That the President of the United States would respond to this barbarity which such little backing infuriated the nation, especially when Germany had sent out a whole army to burn down the Chinese countryside like "Huns" as the Kaiser said. It was the final straw. As mobs would lynch Chinese immigrants in the streets of San Francisco, a feeling began to pervade across the country that the self-proclaimed prophet may in fact be right. Both the Republicans and Democrats had led the nation away from God's chosen path. If one was to accept that, there was really only one choice, and that was to elect the Prophet himself.
1901-XXXX: Josiah Strong / Joseph B. Foraker ("Holy" Republican / "Millennialist" People's / Prohibition / United Christian)
1900: Augustus Van Wyck / Carter Harrison Jr. (Democratic / Anti-Imperialist), James Weaver / Wharton Baker ("Strictly Agrarian" People's), Eugene Debs / Job Harriman (Labor), Morgan Bulkeley / Henry Clay Evans ("Agnostic" Republican)
The Populists nominated Strong by acclaim. Not all believed he was truly a prophet, but they at least agreed with him and he had shown wisdom in his actions so far. The few who didn't stormed out and would form their own secular ticket, led by James Weaver, the 1880 Greenback nominee and thoroughly a has-been at this point. The Prohibitionists saw that Strong was their best chance and endorsed him as well. The United Christian Party was formed by evangelicals across the country to show who they supported which promptly endorsed Strong. The anti-Catholic American Protection Association would also announce in their paper that Strong was their man.
With Palmer declining to run for his own term, the Democrats doubled down on the urban vote. They knew Strong would alienate Catholics and immigrants so they picked the New York Governor Augustus Van Wyck and the Chicago Mayor Carter Harrison Jr. as their ticket. Scandals would immediately erupt in the Democratic ticket. Van Wyck would find himself embroiled in a corruption scandal that took down his brother, the Mayor of New York, and which naturally implicated him. Harrison, despite being at the bottom of the ticket, was not freed from scandal as well with his Catholic wife becoming a target of the APA that would lead to Harrison famously cursing out an audience that he was to give a speech before. The Democrats seemed to have everything go wrong for them.
The Republicans were still mostly benchless as a result of the late Blaine's amibitions. They could run some no-name Governor or Senator they had lying around and inevitably lose. But a different idea formed within some bosses. There was an alliance between Strong and Blaine during the 1880s. Why could that not be done again? And if he was a prophet of God as it seemed much of the nation believed, why get on his bad side? Let him be win purely on a Populist ticket, and then Strong would see that smashing corporations and spreading their remains over farmlands was a winning platform. No, they would need him on their side if corporate America was to survive. This was the logic of the ever wily Henry Clay Frick who convinced much of his fellow businessmen and Republican officials that the path forward lied with the Prophet. Some disagreed of course, but Frick made sure they received no support, leaving the splinter Republican ticket to be led by a wealthy gadfly Governor of little note or ballot access. Meanwhile, some of the Populists protested, but if the Prophet had decided an alliance was what was needed, who were they to disagree?
And so it came to pass that the Promised Land would be led once again by a man of God, that blessed Columbia may fulfill her sacred duty to cleanse the world of sin and bring about the Millennium. The yellow hordes of China would have to pay for their crimes against God's chosen people. The heretics in Utah must be cast out into the ocean. The papists must be thrown out of our cities, out of our continent, out of Europe. No, there would be much work to be done before the world was cleansed and ready for Christ's return. There was little time. They had to work fast.
The Lord may forgive all, but Josiah Strong is just a Prophet so he didn't have to. Amen.
The American Prophet
1877-1881: Samuel J. Tilden / Thomas Hendricks (Democratic)
1876: Ulysses S. Grant / Elihu Washburne (Republican), Peter Cooper / Samuel Cary (Greenback)
It came to pass that in 1876, just over a decade after the Civil War during which they had been branded "the party of traitors" and just four years after an election in which they did not even field a candidate, the Democratic Party would reclaim the White House largely due to one man: Ulysses S. Grant.
Now, Grant could have been forgiven for thinking at the time that him running for a third term was a splendid idea. After all, he had won in 1872 despite his party being divided and his administration scandalized. It seemed the country trusted Grant, and he trusted the her.
But the Long Depression was taking its toll on the people's perception as the mental image of the great general taking Lee's at Appomattox was replaced with an aloof politician vetoing a popular relief bill.

While he sent troops to Pittsburgh, he pulled them out of the South, allowing his party to reign supreme once again below the Mason-Dixon which would come in handy in 1880.
1881-1885: Samuel J. Tilden / John Palmer (Democratic)

Tilden, as unhealthy as he was, would run again in some sense from pressure by Democratic bosses unsure if any of their people could actually win. Tilden reached out to Republicans by putting former Republican Governor and general John Palmer on the ticket, the mugwumpiest of the mugwumps.
The Republicans were more divided. While some wanted to run Grant again, his sickness that he could from his world tour was serious enough that the proposal was abandoned. Conkling's Stalwarts and Blaine's Half-Breeds clashed as expected which led to a rather long and drawn out convention, compromising with the world's least exciting ticket of always dull Senator John Sherman and the half dead Horace Maynard. Perhaps running the brother of the man who burnt down Atlanta was not the best man to run in the first election where white supremacist Redeemer governments had seized most of the states but oh well. Sherman was canny in one sense in that he reused the popular Grant platform of focusing on foreign policy, specifically imperialism as per God's wishes. Sherman, as one of the supporters of an amendment making America officially a Christian nation, brought out the idea of this amendment to the public to build on the past campaigns and found it to be remarkably popular if relatively meaningless. It seemed these social issues would evoke just as much excitement as economic ones which put the pieces for one crafty Republican Senator to create a winning coalition.
In the background, the face of agrarian populism that the Greenbacks represented was changing. With a newfound religiosity in America both in politics and in concurrence with the Third Great Awakening, the doctrine of Social Gospel was rising. Christ promised to return on this earth once again, but this would only be after the Millennium where Christian beliefs and ethics prosper. To do it, man would have to fix the earth, and if something as horrific as the Long Depression and all the suffering it inflicted could happen, clearly the world was not ready. Everyone would need to be taken care of and that meant making sure farmers, the forgotten class, was cared for. You see, agrarian populism was not some selfish vote by an economically distressed class. It was the will of God! It would just take time to develop.
1885-1888: James G. Blaine / Chester Arthur (Republican)
1884: Thomas F. Bayard / Allen G. Thurman (Democratic), Benjamin F. Butler / Absolom M. West (Greenback/Anti-Monopoly), John St. John / William Daniel (Prohibition)
1888-1889: James G. Blaine / VACANT (Republican)
James Blaine was considered the most corrupt man in Washington, but the fact that he managed to stay in office showed a certain political cunning as well. Seizing the nomination after compromising with Conkling through Chester Arthur as Vice President, Blaine would run on a campaign lambasting the Tilden administration for its refusal to expand America as God willed it. Manifest Destiny was called destiny for a reason, but foolish Tilden didn't know it! He captured the fire of Grant with the detailed proposals of Sherman and crushed the colorless Bayard. After eight long years, Republicans were back in the White House.
Meanwhile, Benjamin Butler took control of the now faltering Greenbacks. The Long Depression was way in the past, and the issue wasn't resonating anymore. But Butler didn't care about that. He didn't abandon his successful political career to take over some dying party. No, Butler wanted more than that. He wanted a grand alliance of these smaller single-issue parties to smash the corrupt two party system. Through fusion voting, anything was possible! Well, except that was a lot harder than it seemed. In the end, Butler would only manage to get the Greenback and Anti-Monopoly Party nominations, but even with that, he received more votes than the Prohibition Party. It got people's attention. Maybe there could be a viable third party. Perhaps a party that included farmer's rights and prohibition
Perhaps in another world, the paths of imperialism and agrarian populism would continue down its separate paths. But instead in 1885, one of the leaders of the Social Gospel movement would write his magnum opus that would seize the country by its heart. Our Country: Its Possible Future and Its Present Crisis by Josiah Strong would codify in flowing polemic that it was God's will to colonize and spread His Word to those unknowing masses, that we as the Anglo-Saxon race was God's chosen people to Christianize and civilize the world, that God gave us this land that we call America because it is our Promised Land and is holy as that of Jerusalem. But yet even the Holy Land can be corrupted as it was by Pharisees and heretics as Jerusalem turns to Gomorrah. So it is to prevent this that we must fight against the great perils facing this nation: Catholicism, Mormonism, Socialism, Intemperance, Wealth, Urbanization, and Immigration.
There is no doubt a copy landed on the President's desk. Whether it be that the book convinced Blaine or just aware how much of the country was convinced that Blaine began to follow the teachings in the book. When the Berlin Conference came about (slightly delayed due to Tilden having denied Belgian King Leopold's wish for the United States to recognize his ownership of the Congo) for all the nations to carve out what parts of Africa would go to who, Blaine would demand that America have its place in the sun. It was this insistence and the fact that Bismarck didn't want France nor Britain to have it that the Conference agreed, much to Leopold's chagrin, that Congo would be given to the United States as long as the US didn't bother the Europeans about Africa again. The news was met with great cheers back in the States as missionaries began to prepare to make a trip across the Atlantic as Strong's book encouraged. Strong himself began to build a strong network to support missionaries visiting Africa which would only increase his fame and prestige. Manifest Destiny and faith became intertwined in ways never expected before.
1889-1893: James G. Blaine / Russell Alger (Republican)
1888: Samuel Randall / Isaac P. Gray (Democratic), Leonidas L. Polk / Ignatius Donnelly (Farmer's Alliance/Union Reform), Clinton Fisk / John Brooks (Prohibition)
Blaine would win his reelection by continuing to hammer home his strengths. He was already known across the country as an anti-Catholic man for his actions in pushing the failed Blaine Amendment. Seeing as it seemed to only help him, he successfully pushed the amendment again. Blaine would also pass Sherman's Christian Amendment to establish the United States as a Christian nation. On matters of nationalism, Blaine would build up the navy and enact immigration restrictions to prevent Catholics and Celestials from entering the US in the mass waves that they did in the past. After a failed push to take Santa Domingo once again, Blaine instead annexed the Kingdom of Hawaii into the Union. The classical liberal Bourbon Democrats protested these popular actions which would lead to Blaine easily defeated Minority Leader Randall in 1888.
When the remains of the Greenbacks merged together in 1889 into the People's Party aka the Populists explicitly on Social Gospel principles, Blaine found himself rather concerned. Blaine was considering doing what Washington Wouldn't and Grant Couldn't, winning the fabled third term. As someone who had contributed to the religious fervor in the country, he could easily see how that it could be used against him by a skilled and popular preacher like Josiah Strong. So Blaine decided he would knock Strong out of the picture. In 1889, he announced that he would be appointing Josiah Strong as Territorial Governor of the American Congo, a task which the pastor took with much fervor. Under Strong, Leopoldville would be renamed New Jamestown to mark this historic moment in American imperialism while ordering the natives into church and to behave more "civilized" as he began to work to make the colony profitable.
When Polish merchant mariner Józef Konrad arrived in New Jamestown, he would ride how the city looked like a normal American city with colonial style buildings. The natives would go to the magnificently built church on Sundays and be dressed according to western cultures. But Konrad remarked that there was a deadness in their eyes that he remembered many years later. Yet his writings would get little attention. Americans were happy to hear that Strong was bringing profits and faith to the colony while Blaine was pleased when the People's Party nominated an elderly Washington Gladden, a has-been in Social Gospel circles. His scheme had worked and secured him reelection to a third term.
1893-1897: James G. Blaine / William McKinley (Republican)
1892: David B. Hill / William Vilas (Democratic), Washington Gladden / Ignatius Donnelly (People's), John Bidwell / James Cranfill (Prohibition)
It all started with a coup in Argentina that managed to annihilate agricultural prices. Then it turned into a panic on the banks. Then banks started running out of money. After a prosperous decade, it seemed the horrors of the 1870s were coming back as another Depression hit the United States.
It was under this setting that Josiah Strong felt great concern for his people. He was uncertain what he could do during these trying times to alleviate the suffering of Americans while he was trying to civilize the Congo. During a particularly nasty outbreak of malaria, Strong was incapacitated in his bed, struck with illness. It was then that an angel appeared before Strong, identifying herself as Angel Columbia, the protector of America. Columbia delivered a message from God that while there was a great amount of work to be done outside of America, the Holy Land needed him now. He was to resign from his governorship and get on the next ship to America. Upon arriving, he was to restore Christ's church, to spread the Word, and to alleviate the suffering of His people. Strong obeyed the angel and even in illness, set upon his God-given task.
America had been full of "prophets" throughout its history. They tended to either be laughed at or extend their followers to a sizable but still small small group in the grand scheme of things. So it was likely that if Strong had made this announcement at another period of time or if he had not been a celebrated and famed preacher and writer already read by millions across the country or perhaps even if the nation had not been fed for the past decade how expansion was their God-given destiny and that America was a special and exceptional land from God Almighty himself. But the timing was perfect, and the Prophet returned to the Promised Land to a nation that hardship had made humble enough to bow before the throne of God, to accept his messenger, and enter the halls of his blessed and holy Church of Columbia.
Some would accuse Strong of planning the whole thing. Was it purely by chance that he was to return to America right when the country was most receptive for a message of hope? Was it purely by chance that his governorship of the Congo allowed him to amass a fortune so that he had the capital to build his church from the ground up? Was this all by chance that the ideas that this angel supposedly told him to found the church on was practically the things he had been writing all these years anyway? It was not chance, Strong would say. For the Lord works in mysterious way, his invisible hand of providence guiding his Prophet until he was ready for the message. The "convenience" of it all proved only that he truly was the Prophet, and it was through His Church that the suffering of his sheep would be alleviated with the social services the government under the Republicans and the newly empowered Democrats would not provide. Salvation would come not from the White House, but from the Temple.
So it was so that Strong would continue to sow the seeds for his rise as another election passed.
1897-1898: William Russell / John Palmer (Democratic)
1896: James Forsyth / Matthew Quay (Republican), Charles E. Bentley / Thomas Watson (People's / Prohibition), Eugene Debs / Charles Matchett (Socialist Labor)
1896 was a time of change. The Republicans, having had their bench hollowed out by a nasty midterm and Blaine's own sidelining of anyone talented for his ambition's sake, nominated a war hero and celebrity, the Man Who Tamed The West, out of desperation more than anything. The Populists, smarting from their less than impressive showing with Gladden due to his pro-Catholic views, decided no longer could they split the religious vote with the Prohibition Party and forged a unity ticket with pastor Charles Bentley. But it was the Democrats that produced a real man of change. The youngest nominee for President in American history, the Massachusetts Governor William Russell ran on Bourbonite principles of sound money. Paired with former Vice President John Palmer to show this wasn't a totally inexperienced ticket, Russell's earnest and optimistic speeches would win the day as a nation thoroughly disenchanted with Blaine and the Republicans chose new leadership somewhat skeptically.
Russell would prove to be a perfectly fine economic leader who would ignore calls for bimetallism and would just ride out the economic storm. The problems arose when foreign policy came into the picture, when Bourbon anti-imperialism clashed with the nation's Manifest Destiny urges. With Spain weak and Cuba wide open for the taking, the yellow press blew a gasket at Russell for not seizing the territory and declaring war. Even when the warship Maine exploded in Havana harbor, Russell insisted that it was an accident and no action will be taken. Strong could take it no longer. In a speech carried by all the newspapers, Strong declared that Russell would be punished for denying God's will in taking Cuba, that he would not serve out the rest of his term. That this man claiming to be a prophet would suggest that the 41-year old Governor would somehow fail to finish his term was met with laughter throughout the country. It was met with eerie silence when President Russell would die of heart failure three days later.
The Prophet had spoken.
1898-1901: John Palmer / VACANT (Democratic)
The nation's youngest President would be succeeded by the nation's oldest President, but it was almost like there was no difference. Palmer held strong that there was no need for war against Spain much to the nation's fury. The Democrats suffered in the midterms, some to the Republicans but mostly to the Populists. The nation didn't trust the Democrats on foreign policy, and it didn't trust the Republicans on fiscal policy which left only one party left.
Meanwhile, Strong continued to gain strength as his Church's social services became more and more in need with the Bourbons and business Republicans continuing to offer little relief to those struggling and as people continued to be uncertain of what to make of Strong's fulfilled prophecy. Whether if his Church of Columbia movement which mixed American nationalism, imperialism, and Christianity together could gain nationwide attraction wasn't certain until the Boxer Rebellion. When raging Celestials slaughtered thousands of foreigners including Americans in Peking, Palmer would respond with righteous indignation backed by some handful of ships and marines. That the President of the United States would respond to this barbarity which such little backing infuriated the nation, especially when Germany had sent out a whole army to burn down the Chinese countryside like "Huns" as the Kaiser said. It was the final straw. As mobs would lynch Chinese immigrants in the streets of San Francisco, a feeling began to pervade across the country that the self-proclaimed prophet may in fact be right. Both the Republicans and Democrats had led the nation away from God's chosen path. If one was to accept that, there was really only one choice, and that was to elect the Prophet himself.
1901-XXXX: Josiah Strong / Joseph B. Foraker ("Holy" Republican / "Millennialist" People's / Prohibition / United Christian)
1900: Augustus Van Wyck / Carter Harrison Jr. (Democratic / Anti-Imperialist), James Weaver / Wharton Baker ("Strictly Agrarian" People's), Eugene Debs / Job Harriman (Labor), Morgan Bulkeley / Henry Clay Evans ("Agnostic" Republican)
The Populists nominated Strong by acclaim. Not all believed he was truly a prophet, but they at least agreed with him and he had shown wisdom in his actions so far. The few who didn't stormed out and would form their own secular ticket, led by James Weaver, the 1880 Greenback nominee and thoroughly a has-been at this point. The Prohibitionists saw that Strong was their best chance and endorsed him as well. The United Christian Party was formed by evangelicals across the country to show who they supported which promptly endorsed Strong. The anti-Catholic American Protection Association would also announce in their paper that Strong was their man.
With Palmer declining to run for his own term, the Democrats doubled down on the urban vote. They knew Strong would alienate Catholics and immigrants so they picked the New York Governor Augustus Van Wyck and the Chicago Mayor Carter Harrison Jr. as their ticket. Scandals would immediately erupt in the Democratic ticket. Van Wyck would find himself embroiled in a corruption scandal that took down his brother, the Mayor of New York, and which naturally implicated him. Harrison, despite being at the bottom of the ticket, was not freed from scandal as well with his Catholic wife becoming a target of the APA that would lead to Harrison famously cursing out an audience that he was to give a speech before. The Democrats seemed to have everything go wrong for them.
The Republicans were still mostly benchless as a result of the late Blaine's amibitions. They could run some no-name Governor or Senator they had lying around and inevitably lose. But a different idea formed within some bosses. There was an alliance between Strong and Blaine during the 1880s. Why could that not be done again? And if he was a prophet of God as it seemed much of the nation believed, why get on his bad side? Let him be win purely on a Populist ticket, and then Strong would see that smashing corporations and spreading their remains over farmlands was a winning platform. No, they would need him on their side if corporate America was to survive. This was the logic of the ever wily Henry Clay Frick who convinced much of his fellow businessmen and Republican officials that the path forward lied with the Prophet. Some disagreed of course, but Frick made sure they received no support, leaving the splinter Republican ticket to be led by a wealthy gadfly Governor of little note or ballot access. Meanwhile, some of the Populists protested, but if the Prophet had decided an alliance was what was needed, who were they to disagree?
And so it came to pass that the Promised Land would be led once again by a man of God, that blessed Columbia may fulfill her sacred duty to cleanse the world of sin and bring about the Millennium. The yellow hordes of China would have to pay for their crimes against God's chosen people. The heretics in Utah must be cast out into the ocean. The papists must be thrown out of our cities, out of our continent, out of Europe. No, there would be much work to be done before the world was cleansed and ready for Christ's return. There was little time. They had to work fast.
The Lord may forgive all, but Josiah Strong is just a Prophet so he didn't have to. Amen.

Augenis - Directors of the Estates-General of the Republic of France
I am bored, so I will make this list.
A list of the currently known Directors of the Estates-General of the Republic of France from my TL, starting from the French victory against Anglo-French forces in the Flammantian Wars to the last chapter on France released so far.
Enjoy.
1576-1584: Jean de Foix (Independent)
1576: No major opposition
1580: No major opposition
A hero of the Flammantian Wars, de Foix led the organized French rebellion against English Catholic dominance during the 15 year long Flammantian Wars, named after the unifying force behind the French - the Flammantian faith, an offshoot of the Reformation. Thanks to a successful Dutch intervention and the capture of King Henry IX in the Battle of Loire in 1573, the war came to a close with a French victory, and the Republic of France was established. de Foix was unanimously elected twice for the position, and while his style of rule was autocratic and not necessarily adherent to French values, the Republic survived him, even if he is still hailed as a hero to this day.
1584-1588: Albertus Saint-Yves (Les Fédéralistes)
1584: Gilebertus Suchet (Foixite), Verain Duret (Independent)
1588-1596: Gilebertus Suchet (Foixite)
1588: Albertus Saint-Yves (Les Fédéralistes), Verain Duret (Liberty), Philippe Gainsbourg (Piety)
1592: Gerard Descombes (Les Fédéralistes), Verain Duret (Liberty), Philippe Gainsbourg (Piety)
1596-1604: Jean-Claude Bardin (Clermont Foixite)
1596: Philippe Sadoul (True Foixite), Jaquemin Boutin (Les Fédéralistes), Sylvain Pichard (Liberty), Herbin Allaire (Heroic)
1600: Philippe Sadoul (Heroic-Foixite), Mathé Genest (True Heroic), Jaquemin Boutin (Les Fédéralistes), Sylvain Pichard (Liberty)
1604-1608: Mathé Genest (Les Fédéralistes)
1604: Godeffroy Choquet (Anti-Habsburg), Sylvain Pichard (Liberty), Victor Ponce (Piety)
1608-1612: Nicolaus Duclos (Pro-Habsburg faction)
1608: Godeffroy Choquet (Anti-Habsburg faction), Mathé Genest (Les Fédéralistes)
1612-1624: Maximilien de Béthune (Anti-Habsburg faction)
1612: Nicolaus Duclos (Pro-Habsburg faction), Jacobus Lalande (Les Fédéralistes)
1616: Thierry Cuvillier (Pacifist), Jacobus Lalande (Les Fédéralistes)
1620: Thierry Cuvillier (Pacifist), Jacobus Lalande (Les Fédéralistes)
Maximilien de Béthune was elected in a tough time - tensions across Europe were rising, especially in the Holy Roman Empire. A fervent Flammantian, de Béthune pushed his country to war against the Habsburgs, supporting the Munich League and conflicting with the Emperor in Italy, which eventually led to the beginning of the Twenty Years' War in 1615. Despite France's main ally, Visegrad, leaving the war after a Lithuanian and later an Ottoman invasion, the French and the Munich league held on and even began to turn the tide, especially thanks to the death of Emperor Ferdinand.
1624-1640: Jean-Baptiste Colbert (Blue Party)
1624: Jean-Pascal Dubuisson (Pacifist), Jacobus Lalande (Les Fédéralistes), Robert Rousseau (Piety)
1628: Jean-Pascal Dubuisson (Pacifist), Philippus Chapelle (Red Party)
1632: Philippus Chapelle (Red Party), Mathé Bescond (Free Party)
1636: Quentin-Delano Bouthillier (Red Party)
Nowadays commonly considered to be one of the greatest Directors of France, Jean-Baptiste Colbert ruled over the nation for an unprecedented four terms, which later even backfired on his newly founded "Blue Party", as the opposition often referred to him as "King Jean-Baptiste I" and ran a smear campaign against his supporters. Colbert oversaw the final victory in the Twenty Years' War and the drafting of the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1630 to establish Europe's postwar borders. His rule saw the beginning of the French Golden Age, a period of unprecedented economic growth, prosperity and French domination over European politics.
1640-1648: Quentin-Delano Bouthillier (Red Party)
1640: Edouard Simon (Blue Party), Amaury Gaumont (Free Party)
1644: Edouard Simon (Blue Party)
1648-1652: Garnerus Charbonnier (Red Party)
1648: Mile Brian (Blue Party)
1652-1660: Christophe Jacquinot (Blue Party)
1652: Garnerus Charbonnier (Red Party)
1656: Clamens Jaubert (Red Party)
1660-1668: Ernest Barthet (Blue Party)
1660: Clamens Jaubert (Red Party)
1664: Hemericus Milhaud (Red Party)
1668-1676: Hemericus Milhaud (Red Party)
1668: Gaétan Rousselot (Blue Party)
1672: Gaétan Rousselot (Blue Party)
1676-1684: Pierre de Foix (Blue Party)
1676: Marc-Antoine Carpentier (Red Party)
1880: Marc-Antoine Carpentier (Red Party)
1684-1688: Husson Philippon (Red Party)
1688: Théophile Caillat (Blue Party)
1692: Théophile Caillat (Blue Party)
1696-1704: Pierre Fatio (Red Party)
1696: Dominique Veil (Blue Party)
1700: Dominique Veil (Blue Party)
Commonly known as the "father of the French colonial empire", Pierre Fatio sought to expand France's colonial holdings in Asia and South Vespucia, which drew the nation to conflict with the Inca Empire.
1704-1712: Dominique Veil (Blue Party)
1704: Aurélien Blaise (Red Party)
1708: Lionel Bachelot (Red Party)
1712-1720: Lionel Bachelot (Red Party)
1712: Pierre-Marie Rochette (Blue Party)
1716: Pierre-Louis Beaumont (Blue Party)
1720-1724: Pierre-Louis Beaumont (Blue Party)
1720: François Carrel (Red Party)
Pierre-Louis Beaumont presided over the French-German War, sparked by a number of border conflicts between France and the HRE, during which French forces soundly defeated the less organized and less numerous Germans within the span of a single year. While this ensured continued French dominance over the region, it created a feeling of revanchism among the Germans, while the French grew to underestimate the power of the HRE.
1724-1728: François Carrel (Red Party)
1724: Pierre-Louis Beaumont (Blue Party)
1728-1736: Didier Diderot (Red Party)
1728: Pierre-Louis Beaumont (Blue Party)
1732: Gilo Camille (Blue Party)
1736-1738: Gilo Camille (Red Party)
1736: Arsène Bourbeau (Blue Party), François Rousseau (Independent)
1738-1746: Jacques Passereau (Red Party)
1738: Arsène Bourbeau (Blue Party), François Rousseau (Independent)
1742: Arsène Bourbeau (Blue Party)
1746-1754: François Rousseau (Blue Party)
1746: Jonathan Pernet (Red Party)
1750: Jonathan Pernet (Red Party)
An independent turned Blue Party member, François Rousseau had to deal with an international crisis as soon as he was elected - this being the Saxon Crisis, where a revolution tore down the old regime and was threatening to devolve into a rebellion across the entirety of the HRE. Rousseau advocated for maintaining peace, and thus he agreed to negotiate with the HRE and the rebellion leaders, working out a bipartisan solution to the crisis. With his moves, he prevented a war, and worked hard to rebuild relations with the HRE.
1754-1758: Jonathan Pernet (Red Party)
1754: Nicolas Neri (Blue Party)
1758-1762: Léopold Barthélemy (Blue Party)
1758: Jonathan Pernet (Red Party)
1762-1770: François Doriot (Red Party)
1762: Paulin Courvoisier (Blue Party)
1766: Lucas Vannier (Blue Party)
A retired general, François Doriot was one of the most anti-German politicians in the nation, and he ascended to the highest position in the nation in a very tough time. Director Doriot threatened with intervention in the Vespucia Free State and quelled a Republican rebellion in Bohemia, and after a brief conflict, his armies occupied the left bank of the Rhine and installed a French emperor in the Holy Roman Empire, which was the direct cause of the Great German Revolution. The election of 1770 arrived before Doriot could intervene in the revolutionary events in Vienna, but he always stayed as a loud supporter for French interventionism.
1770-1776: Arthur Bachelot (Red Party)
1770: Rasse Gérin-Lajoie (Blue Party)
1774: Jean Claude D'Aboville (Blue Party)
A controversial figure in French history, Arthur Bachelot led France during the German Revolutionary Wars. The French army underestimated the Germans, led by the talented Maximilian Schwarzburg, and suffered many major defeats during his first term, and despite a very successful reelection campaign and some bribery and extortion involved, the Red Party failed to acquire a majority in the 1774 election - but neither did the Blues. Bachelot was assigned as Director pro tempore until the war was resolved, which it was in 1776 thanks to a Lithuanian intervention, after which Bachelot was soundly defeated. Not a very competent, but a very conservative and anti-German Director, Bachelot nevertheless stands as one of the most important figures in French history.
1776-1784: Jean Claude D'Aboville (Blue Party)
1776: Arthur Bachelot (Red Party)
1780: Maussart Brosseau (Red Party)
A capable diplomat and a proponent of peace, Jean Claude D'Aboville organized the Paris Conference, which replaced the antiquated Amsterdam System and reorganized Europe with new borders drawn and new states established.
1784-1788: Maussart Brosseau (Red Party)
1784: Cedric de Calais (Blue Party)
1788-1792: Cedric de Calais (Blue Party)
1788: Maussart Brosseau (Red Party)
Cedric de Calais is often called many things - an incapable administrator, a corrupt kleptocrat and others - but it should be noted that many of his perceived faults were created by the increasingly decadent and tiresome system, favoring only two parties, rather than his own personality. de Calais interfered in the Rhineland Referendum, hoping to create a victory for the pro-French movement and integrate the region into France, but not only did it fail, but the knowledge about fraud and bribery in the Rhineland created a public storm in his own nation, a storm that only grew wilder with the Black Weekend, when tons of information about massive widespread corruption, bribery, redrawing constituency lines for easy seats in the Estates-General and numerous other types of fraud from both parties were leaked to the public.
1792-1800: Constantin Gounelle (En Avant)
1792: Cedric de Calais (Blue Party), Francois D'Aboville (Red Party)
1796: Francois D'Aboville (Protectionist), Jérémie Allais (Unionist), Jean-François Bissonnette (New Federalist)
Constantin Gounelle was a lawyer and a statesman, a former member of the Blue Party who was assigned by Cedric de Calais to "investigate" and cover up fraud in the Rhineland, but instead fought against his superior and became the man behind the Black Weekend leaks. Uniting disgruntled politicians, activists and people from all sides of the spectrum, Gounelle formed the Forward movement, which then proceeded to win the 1792 election in a historical upset and became the first third party to win the election in 200 years. The Forwardists reformed the electoral process and created the Constitution of the Republic of France, and many of their Republican ideas live on to this day.

A list of the currently known Directors of the Estates-General of the Republic of France from my TL, starting from the French victory against Anglo-French forces in the Flammantian Wars to the last chapter on France released so far.
Enjoy.
1576-1584: Jean de Foix (Independent)
1576: No major opposition
1580: No major opposition
A hero of the Flammantian Wars, de Foix led the organized French rebellion against English Catholic dominance during the 15 year long Flammantian Wars, named after the unifying force behind the French - the Flammantian faith, an offshoot of the Reformation. Thanks to a successful Dutch intervention and the capture of King Henry IX in the Battle of Loire in 1573, the war came to a close with a French victory, and the Republic of France was established. de Foix was unanimously elected twice for the position, and while his style of rule was autocratic and not necessarily adherent to French values, the Republic survived him, even if he is still hailed as a hero to this day.
1584-1588: Albertus Saint-Yves (Les Fédéralistes)
1584: Gilebertus Suchet (Foixite), Verain Duret (Independent)
1588-1596: Gilebertus Suchet (Foixite)
1588: Albertus Saint-Yves (Les Fédéralistes), Verain Duret (Liberty), Philippe Gainsbourg (Piety)
1592: Gerard Descombes (Les Fédéralistes), Verain Duret (Liberty), Philippe Gainsbourg (Piety)
1596-1604: Jean-Claude Bardin (Clermont Foixite)
1596: Philippe Sadoul (True Foixite), Jaquemin Boutin (Les Fédéralistes), Sylvain Pichard (Liberty), Herbin Allaire (Heroic)
1600: Philippe Sadoul (Heroic-Foixite), Mathé Genest (True Heroic), Jaquemin Boutin (Les Fédéralistes), Sylvain Pichard (Liberty)
1604-1608: Mathé Genest (Les Fédéralistes)
1604: Godeffroy Choquet (Anti-Habsburg), Sylvain Pichard (Liberty), Victor Ponce (Piety)
1608-1612: Nicolaus Duclos (Pro-Habsburg faction)
1608: Godeffroy Choquet (Anti-Habsburg faction), Mathé Genest (Les Fédéralistes)
1612-1624: Maximilien de Béthune (Anti-Habsburg faction)
1612: Nicolaus Duclos (Pro-Habsburg faction), Jacobus Lalande (Les Fédéralistes)
1616: Thierry Cuvillier (Pacifist), Jacobus Lalande (Les Fédéralistes)
1620: Thierry Cuvillier (Pacifist), Jacobus Lalande (Les Fédéralistes)
Maximilien de Béthune was elected in a tough time - tensions across Europe were rising, especially in the Holy Roman Empire. A fervent Flammantian, de Béthune pushed his country to war against the Habsburgs, supporting the Munich League and conflicting with the Emperor in Italy, which eventually led to the beginning of the Twenty Years' War in 1615. Despite France's main ally, Visegrad, leaving the war after a Lithuanian and later an Ottoman invasion, the French and the Munich league held on and even began to turn the tide, especially thanks to the death of Emperor Ferdinand.
1624-1640: Jean-Baptiste Colbert (Blue Party)
1624: Jean-Pascal Dubuisson (Pacifist), Jacobus Lalande (Les Fédéralistes), Robert Rousseau (Piety)
1628: Jean-Pascal Dubuisson (Pacifist), Philippus Chapelle (Red Party)
1632: Philippus Chapelle (Red Party), Mathé Bescond (Free Party)
1636: Quentin-Delano Bouthillier (Red Party)
Nowadays commonly considered to be one of the greatest Directors of France, Jean-Baptiste Colbert ruled over the nation for an unprecedented four terms, which later even backfired on his newly founded "Blue Party", as the opposition often referred to him as "King Jean-Baptiste I" and ran a smear campaign against his supporters. Colbert oversaw the final victory in the Twenty Years' War and the drafting of the Treaty of Amsterdam in 1630 to establish Europe's postwar borders. His rule saw the beginning of the French Golden Age, a period of unprecedented economic growth, prosperity and French domination over European politics.
1640-1648: Quentin-Delano Bouthillier (Red Party)
1640: Edouard Simon (Blue Party), Amaury Gaumont (Free Party)
1644: Edouard Simon (Blue Party)
1648-1652: Garnerus Charbonnier (Red Party)
1648: Mile Brian (Blue Party)
1652-1660: Christophe Jacquinot (Blue Party)
1652: Garnerus Charbonnier (Red Party)
1656: Clamens Jaubert (Red Party)
1660-1668: Ernest Barthet (Blue Party)
1660: Clamens Jaubert (Red Party)
1664: Hemericus Milhaud (Red Party)
1668-1676: Hemericus Milhaud (Red Party)
1668: Gaétan Rousselot (Blue Party)
1672: Gaétan Rousselot (Blue Party)
1676-1684: Pierre de Foix (Blue Party)
1676: Marc-Antoine Carpentier (Red Party)
1880: Marc-Antoine Carpentier (Red Party)
1684-1688: Husson Philippon (Red Party)
1688: Théophile Caillat (Blue Party)
1692: Théophile Caillat (Blue Party)
1696-1704: Pierre Fatio (Red Party)
1696: Dominique Veil (Blue Party)
1700: Dominique Veil (Blue Party)
Commonly known as the "father of the French colonial empire", Pierre Fatio sought to expand France's colonial holdings in Asia and South Vespucia, which drew the nation to conflict with the Inca Empire.
1704-1712: Dominique Veil (Blue Party)
1704: Aurélien Blaise (Red Party)
1708: Lionel Bachelot (Red Party)
1712-1720: Lionel Bachelot (Red Party)
1712: Pierre-Marie Rochette (Blue Party)
1716: Pierre-Louis Beaumont (Blue Party)
1720-1724: Pierre-Louis Beaumont (Blue Party)
1720: François Carrel (Red Party)
Pierre-Louis Beaumont presided over the French-German War, sparked by a number of border conflicts between France and the HRE, during which French forces soundly defeated the less organized and less numerous Germans within the span of a single year. While this ensured continued French dominance over the region, it created a feeling of revanchism among the Germans, while the French grew to underestimate the power of the HRE.
1724-1728: François Carrel (Red Party)
1724: Pierre-Louis Beaumont (Blue Party)
1728-1736: Didier Diderot (Red Party)
1728: Pierre-Louis Beaumont (Blue Party)
1732: Gilo Camille (Blue Party)
1736-1738: Gilo Camille (Red Party)
1736: Arsène Bourbeau (Blue Party), François Rousseau (Independent)
1738-1746: Jacques Passereau (Red Party)
1738: Arsène Bourbeau (Blue Party), François Rousseau (Independent)
1742: Arsène Bourbeau (Blue Party)
1746-1754: François Rousseau (Blue Party)
1746: Jonathan Pernet (Red Party)
1750: Jonathan Pernet (Red Party)
An independent turned Blue Party member, François Rousseau had to deal with an international crisis as soon as he was elected - this being the Saxon Crisis, where a revolution tore down the old regime and was threatening to devolve into a rebellion across the entirety of the HRE. Rousseau advocated for maintaining peace, and thus he agreed to negotiate with the HRE and the rebellion leaders, working out a bipartisan solution to the crisis. With his moves, he prevented a war, and worked hard to rebuild relations with the HRE.
1754-1758: Jonathan Pernet (Red Party)
1754: Nicolas Neri (Blue Party)
1758-1762: Léopold Barthélemy (Blue Party)
1758: Jonathan Pernet (Red Party)
1762-1770: François Doriot (Red Party)
1762: Paulin Courvoisier (Blue Party)
1766: Lucas Vannier (Blue Party)
A retired general, François Doriot was one of the most anti-German politicians in the nation, and he ascended to the highest position in the nation in a very tough time. Director Doriot threatened with intervention in the Vespucia Free State and quelled a Republican rebellion in Bohemia, and after a brief conflict, his armies occupied the left bank of the Rhine and installed a French emperor in the Holy Roman Empire, which was the direct cause of the Great German Revolution. The election of 1770 arrived before Doriot could intervene in the revolutionary events in Vienna, but he always stayed as a loud supporter for French interventionism.
1770-1776: Arthur Bachelot (Red Party)
1770: Rasse Gérin-Lajoie (Blue Party)
1774: Jean Claude D'Aboville (Blue Party)
A controversial figure in French history, Arthur Bachelot led France during the German Revolutionary Wars. The French army underestimated the Germans, led by the talented Maximilian Schwarzburg, and suffered many major defeats during his first term, and despite a very successful reelection campaign and some bribery and extortion involved, the Red Party failed to acquire a majority in the 1774 election - but neither did the Blues. Bachelot was assigned as Director pro tempore until the war was resolved, which it was in 1776 thanks to a Lithuanian intervention, after which Bachelot was soundly defeated. Not a very competent, but a very conservative and anti-German Director, Bachelot nevertheless stands as one of the most important figures in French history.
1776-1784: Jean Claude D'Aboville (Blue Party)
1776: Arthur Bachelot (Red Party)
1780: Maussart Brosseau (Red Party)
A capable diplomat and a proponent of peace, Jean Claude D'Aboville organized the Paris Conference, which replaced the antiquated Amsterdam System and reorganized Europe with new borders drawn and new states established.
1784-1788: Maussart Brosseau (Red Party)
1784: Cedric de Calais (Blue Party)
1788-1792: Cedric de Calais (Blue Party)
1788: Maussart Brosseau (Red Party)
Cedric de Calais is often called many things - an incapable administrator, a corrupt kleptocrat and others - but it should be noted that many of his perceived faults were created by the increasingly decadent and tiresome system, favoring only two parties, rather than his own personality. de Calais interfered in the Rhineland Referendum, hoping to create a victory for the pro-French movement and integrate the region into France, but not only did it fail, but the knowledge about fraud and bribery in the Rhineland created a public storm in his own nation, a storm that only grew wilder with the Black Weekend, when tons of information about massive widespread corruption, bribery, redrawing constituency lines for easy seats in the Estates-General and numerous other types of fraud from both parties were leaked to the public.
1792-1800: Constantin Gounelle (En Avant)
1792: Cedric de Calais (Blue Party), Francois D'Aboville (Red Party)
1796: Francois D'Aboville (Protectionist), Jérémie Allais (Unionist), Jean-François Bissonnette (New Federalist)
Constantin Gounelle was a lawyer and a statesman, a former member of the Blue Party who was assigned by Cedric de Calais to "investigate" and cover up fraud in the Rhineland, but instead fought against his superior and became the man behind the Black Weekend leaks. Uniting disgruntled politicians, activists and people from all sides of the spectrum, Gounelle formed the Forward movement, which then proceeded to win the 1792 election in a historical upset and became the first third party to win the election in 200 years. The Forwardists reformed the electoral process and created the Constitution of the Republic of France, and many of their Republican ideas live on to this day.

[1] Macmillan's resignation in 1963 paved the way for R. A. Butler to finally become Prime Minister. Butler's time in office would be dominated by a preparation for the upcoming general election. Butler's tenure in office would see the government's electoral fortunes turn around. While the Conservatives would not win the general election, they would see to it that the lead the Labour Party had formerly enjoyed, had been reduced to a mere two seat majority. This herculean feat could be considered to have been as a result of public uncertainty over the Labour Party's economic policy, as well as several results, such as Smethwick, which bucked the national trend and swung from Labour to the Conservatives.
[2] During the first year of the new Labour government, the party would be dealt a major blow in the form of the Leyton by-election, engineered by the party leadership so as to allow the Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker to re-enter into the Commons after his loss in Smethwick in 1964. This backfired as the popular local Tory candidate won a surprise victory in the by-election. This would see a minor, but significant, reshuffle in the new government, Richard Crossman would be shifted from the Home Office to replace Gordon Walker; Home Office Minister Bob Mellish would be promoted to the position of Home Secretary. The government would be left with no majority and would be unable to engage in its proposed renationalisation program, due to two right-wing Labour MPs, Desmond Donnelly and Woodrow Wyatt opposing such policies. The Chancellor, Anthony Greenwood, would resign in frustration in April 1965, bemoaning the government's inability to press ahead with a more left-wing economic policy. Disagreements over the devaluing of the pound, something that Greenwood supporter, and which Callaghan was reluctant to press ahead with. In Greenwood's place the Prime Minister would appoint Tony Crosland as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Conflict within the Tory Party over foreign policy (after Shadow Defence Secretary Enoch Powell gave a speech arguing for withdrawal from East of Suez; a direct snub to the United States.) Questions were raised over Butler's leadership (or lack thereof), though he would remain in place. Crossman's brief tenure at the Home Office had seen a PMB introduced by Sydney Silverman, advocating the temporary suspension of the death penalty, was passed. After such a vote the new Home Secretary, Bob Mellish, was committed to preventing any further social change in the United Kingdom during his tenure at the Home Office. Moves to liberalise abortion, contraception and sodomy laws were blocked either by Mellish's direct actions, or by his reliance on 'Bob's Boys' - a group of social conservative Labour MPs (Simon & Peter Mahon, Walter Alldritt and Leo Abse) who would work together to kill PMBs on certain social questions (namely David Steel's abortion PMB in 1965.) The government would also see a gradual de-jure British withdrawal from South Arabia, installing the anti-communist FLOSY group under Abdullah al Asnag, in power. This, coupled with Tory divisions and the popularity of the government, would contribute to Labour's returning with nearly 380 seats at the 1966 general election. Silverman would be punished in his Nelson & Colne seat, where he would be defeated by a Tory backed candidacy from the ENP of Patrick Downey, the uncle of one of the victims of the Moors Murderers - he ran on a decidedly pro-death penalty ticket. After the election, relations with the United States began to decline further, through the actions of the Foreign Secretary, Richard Crossman (who would be called "a lazy S.O.B. by President Johnson during a visit in 1967), the county would begin to lapse on its NATO commitments. The US were especially irked by the government's refusal to get involved in Vietnam and its withdrawal from South Arabia (where a communist revolt was expected.) Relations with Israel would improve during this period; an intervention of advisors to Biafra to aid the Igbo people was also proposed, though nothing would come of this. The 1968 Conservative leadership election would see Iain Macleod propelled to a narrow victory over Enoch Powell and Reginald Maudling (who was harmed by his support of his daughter, who bore an illegitimate child.) UK efforts to join the EEC would be further frustrated with French President Charles de Gaulle's use of a veto once again in 1969. The Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1969 would see a general move to tighten immigration laws - this would pass with backbench Tory support. This was not enough for Wyatt and Donnelly who would split off to form their own 'Democratic Party' in 1969. The passage of the bill was condemned and applauded from many different quarters - Ian Gilmour, Iain Macleod and the Beatles (with their 'Commonwealth' song which directly referenced Mellish) would be strong opponents of Mellish and his immigration reforms. In Northern Ireland the position of the embattled UUP leader Terence O'Neill would come to a head with the bombing of a water reservoir by loyalists in 1969 - he would be replaced by critic and former government minister Brian Faulkner, who defeated O'Neill's (equally critical) cousin James Chichester-Clark, by a single vote. British troops, with assurances of support for the B Specials and the RUC, from Mellish, would be met with warmth from Irish Catholic Nationalists. During this period the Liberal Party would elect the social liberal Eric Lubbock as its new leader, making the potential of Liberal support for the Conservatives in the event of a hung parliament more likely. Heading into 1970 the government would receive a shock concerning the nation's finances, leading to Crosland making the unpopular decision of devaluing the pound. Increases in taxation across the board were seen to 'lessen the blow' (in the words of the Foreign Secretary.) Heading into the election year of 1970, Callaghan would see to it that the cabinet would be 'spring cleaned' appointing loyal Ministers to his government, in place of more rebellious Ministers. Mellish would introduce The Misuse of Drugs Act 1970, a hardline anti-drug bill which would see drug use, possession, dealing, and production, dealt with seriously by the authorities. in cabinet the legislation was criticised by the Education Secretary Roy Jenkins; he would be attacked by Mellish who branded him a “supreme sodomite and evangelist for permissiveness.” The publication of a white paper written by Harold Wilson and Barbara Castle was met with fury from Number 10 who threatened the two with immediate removal from office. Callaghan's address to a generally belligerent TUC was receive with an standing ovation, and is considered one of the best speeches of a British Prime Minister during the second part of the twentieth century. The release of trading figures before the 1970 general election would see many predict that Labour would fall below a majority. While this didn't materialise, the government was reduced to a mere 338 seats. Callaghan's first act in office was to sack Jenkins from the cabinet, replacing him with ardent loyalist Ray Gunter. A mass demonstration in Trafalgar Square in November 1970, held by students to protest the government's conservative social policy, would turn into a series of riots that would grip the nation until January 1971. The riots only succeeded in launching the annual Nationwide Festival of Light, a Christian march which received support from various members of the government. Around this time Macleod would die and was replaced by moderate Ulster MP Robin Chichester-Clark, who once again defeated Powell by a slender margin. At the Tory conference where Chichester-Clark was elected, the party delegates voted in favour of a plank that would commit a future Tory government to supporting the reintroduction of the death penalty. The move to reintroduce the death penalty would begin in summer the early summer of 1972 when Downey introduced a PMB to do just that. It would receive behind the scenes support from the Home Office and would be buoyed with Downey's moving speech in the chamber, which saw many nominally anti-rope MPs vote in his favour. The country would however get bogged down in a conflict in South Arabia, supporting the anti-communist FLOSY regime, against the Soviet aligned communist forces, the Federation of Arab Republic backed YAR and forces of the Kingdom of Yemen, who were aided by Saudi Arabia. 'Britain's Vietnam' would play a major part in culture during this decade, with the much loved 'NAAFI' comedy series arising out of the (funnier side of the) conflict. The effects of the Arab invasion and near defeat of Israel in late 1972 would see the British government stretched to breaking point in an effort to support their Israeli allies. During the crisis the Foreign Secretary, Richard Crossman, would collapse due to ill health, and was replaced by Denis Healey at the Foreign Office (John Stonehouse would replace Healey at the MoD.) The conflict would ultimately be won by Israel after using small nuclear devises against the Arab forces. As a retaliation for western support for Israel, OPEC would force the price of a barrel of oil to over $4. In the aftermath of the events the Prime Minister addressed the nation on Christmas Eve 1972, he announced he would be standing down in the new year.
[3] George Brown's election as Labour leader was both a surprise and a shock to many in Westminster. The Labour Deputy Leader had just scraped into the last round ahead of Denis Healey, and would defeat Harold Wilson in a hotly contested leadership race. The party and country would be rocked by allegations concerning a communist spy being in the party and even the cabinet. Brown won on account of him having no suggestions of an affiliation with the eastern bloc. His new cabinet would be filled with loyalists of the old leadership of the party. Many of those who had badmouthed Brown over the prior years would suffer demotion or the sack as a result of their comments. Brown would launch a goodwill tour after his election, meeting voters up and down the country in an effort to combat the government's haemorrhaging at the polls - especially as the forces of Scottish, Welsh, and English nationalism flexed their muscles, generally at Labour's expense. In Northern Ireland the situation was deteriorating, though the authorities still had the upper hand. Faulkner would be weakened at the 1973 general election in NI, with the Nationalist Party winning 11 seats, owing to the Unionist vote being split between Bill Craig & Ian Paisley's VDUPP and the NI Labour Party led by David Bleakley. Brown would soon after jet off to Washington, D.C. for talks with the Murphy Administration, in an attempt to warm relations between the two nations. While there was definitely a move in 'the right direction,' relations still were quite icy. Brown would notably (and jokingly) dance with 'Taptoe George' to a mock version of 'Bad Bad Leroy [George] Brown.' Back at home as 1973 became 1974 the global recession began to ease off, this gave Brown's government a bit of breathing room over the coming months. This breathing space would soon contract once more, when it was reported that several leading military officials believed that the war in South Arabia was a drain on resources and could have been 'won' much sooner if the war and resources had not been mismanaged. A whiff of financial improprieties concerning the Defence Secretary would help contribute to the government's fall in support at the end of the year. This, coupled with the buoyant Conservative & Unionists in the polls, would lead to a rather predictable result in the end for the general election.
[4] Robin Chichester-Clark would form the first Conservative government in over a decade in 1975. He was the first Conservative Prime Minister to have a direct link to Northern Ireland since Bonar Law, who had served as Prime Minister five decades prior. The immediate priorities of the government were to ensure that the 'damage' of the Labour government over the last decade. Decimalisation and various tax reforms were spearheaded in the first budget of Anthony Barber. Meanwhile a PMB introduced by Ian Gilmour would see homosexuality decriminalised in late 1975 - 'too little too late' in the words of the PMB's introducer. Pushes to liberalise other social issues would ultimately come to nothing, as Chichester-Clark was reluctant to support such pushes, especially with the conservative electorate in his Londonderry seat. Chichester-Clark's government would be formed by a mixture of those on the right and left of the party; Barber at the Treasury, Rippon at the Foreign Office, Amery at the Ministry of Defence, Norman St John-Stevas at the Home Office, Sandys at the new Commonwealth Affairs Office, Thatcher at Education, Heath (having returned to parliament in a by-election in Cambridge in 1967) was the newly created Minister for Europe, Airey Neave was the new Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. The 'Government of All Talents' was seen as a welcome break from the Callaghan cabinet format with its silencing of those who disagreed with the general direction of policy within government. In relation to Northern Ireland policy, Chichester-Clark saw to it that there would be a 'gloves off' approach to militants on both sides of the isle, while also supporting general reform of institutions (or "tinkering within") political and social, without removing said institutions. These moves would ultimately result in the adoption of fairer electoral boundaries (the removal of the 'Derrymandered' electoral boundaries, which were replaced with multimember constituencies based on council areas, which would each elect three members - except Belfast which saw three members elected based on the nine electoral districts within the city) that exist to this day. The moves were generally well received by most across the political divide, though this did contribute to a further haemorrhaging of votes from the OUP to the VDUPP. A general strike was called in opposition to these moves by the Ulster Workers Council, the move nearly ground Northern Ireland to a halt as the means of energy production were now unmanned. Only the intervention by the military to get services up and running, the resolve of Faulkner and the eventual boredom of some of the strikers, would see the strike fail in its aim of forcing the government's hand and collapsing the Faulkner government. At the 1977 general election in Northern Ireland, Faulkner would gain a slightly larger share of the vote and would gain a handful of seats, ensuring his position as Premier was moderately safer than it had been in 1973. Moves towards devolution were made for Wales and Scotland, with the party adhering to the Declaration of Perth which committed the party to a devolved Scottish Assembly. Referendums were held in both Wales and Scotland (a motion for a Yes vote to be endorsed by 40% of the entire electorate was voted down) in 1976; Scotland would narrowly vote Yes by a 52-48 margin (there was divisions within both the Scottish Conservative and Labour parties on the question - most Tories were understood to be leaning towards No); Wales would reject devolution by a 77-33 margin. The Scottish Assembly would convene for the first time on St. Andrew's Day 1978, with Conservative George Younger elected as Chief Executive, leading a minority coalition with the Scottish Liberals (led by Laura Grimond, wife of the former leader, who would take the position of Deputy Chief Executive); Labour was led into second place by Tam Dalyell, the SNP were led by William Wolfe (their leader and 'longtime' MP), and the 'Scottish Labour Party' of Jim Sillars would return three MSAs at that election. The failure to achieve 'home rule' for Wales would not weaken the rise of Plaid Cymru in Wales. The global economy by 1977/78 was generally in a far better place than it had been during 1972/73. The government's programme of small-to-medium scale privatisation of several industries was generally popular, though it was met with a series of strikes in early 1978, of which the government would emerge with a slight upper hand. At the 1975 general election Labour and the Liberals had seen both of their leaders lose their marginal seats to Conservative candidates, thus forcing both parties to hold leadership elections in the coming months. The Liberals would see a fight between the various factions of the party - the traditional Liberals represented by Mark Bonham-Carter, the social liberals (now increasingly dominated by Roy Jenkins and his acolytes) represented by David Marquand (a 'paper' candidate for Roy Jenkins), and the outsiders, represented by Emlyn Hooson and Trevor Jones. Bonham-Carter would narrowly edge Marquand for the leadership. For Labour, the leadership race was seen as a referendum on the Callaghan years, yet it was a remarkably open and shut election. Bob Mellish would easily see off challenges from the left - in the form of Barbara Castle, and from the Gaitskellite right - in the form of Douglas Jay. Mellish's victory is seen to have been as a result of his close connections with the party whips and his usage of patronage while at the Home Office. One of the more interesting episodes of his earlier leadership was concerning the MP for Northampton North - Maureen Colquhoun. Colquhoun had been selected as a safe pair of hands and a traditional female MP. She raised some eyebrows with her insistence early on in the new parliament at being addressed to as Ms. rather than Mrs. by the Speaker (Enoch Powell, who had been elected to the post not long before stated that in the interest of parliamentary tradition he would not entertain the request.) She was seen initially as an ally of Mellish on account of her seemingly defending his Immigration policy and arguing against branding people as racialists. This would earn her a junior shadow ministerial position. This would all change when she decided to come out and announce she was a lesbian and would leave her Sunday Times journalist husband Keith Colquhoun for a female publisher. Mellish, enraged, saw to it that she was deselected by her constituency party due to her "obsession with trivialities such as women's rights." She appealed this decision, but was rebuffed by the party NEC. After she punched a car park attendant after he made a slur against her, Mellish would use this as an opportunity to have her whip resigned. Sensing she had no chance at getting back into the parliamentary party, Colqhoun would sit as an Independent until November 1977, when she would form the 'Women's Party' - a direct reference to the party founded by Christabel and Emmeline Pankhurst nearly sixty years to the day. The party would gain some words of encouragement from the likes of Germaine Greer and other leading feminists, but its growth would be stifled by the calling of a general election. Despite being endorsed by the local Liberal (and ironically National Front) party, Colquhoun would come in a distant third with a respectable 23% of the vote - this would hand the seat to Conservative Richard Tracey. Still, the Women's Party would remain a fixture of British elections for some time. The government would be obsessed by the issue of Europe around this time. Gaining British membership of the European Economic Community had been the aspiration of virtually every British government since Macmillan was forced to tears by the stubbornness of de Gaulle when he had attempted to gain British membership of the Community. All British applications had been vetoed by de Gaulle during his lifetime, though after his death the more reasonable centrist Alain Poher had been elected President of the French Republic in 1970. George Brown had set the groundworks for British entry during the latter period of his time in Number 10; now Chichester-Clark reasoned that it was his turn to try and gain British entry into the Community. The start of the talks would be overshadowed by the defections of Alan Clark and Peter Griffiths to the National Front on account of the government's rather laid back immigration policy and stance on Europe. After a series of negotiations it was agreed that the United Kingdom would be permitted membership of the Community - newly elected President Mitterand would not object to British membership of the Community. Chichester-Clark was then prepared to present a bill of parliament to have British membership be endorsed by parliament. He was then 'spooked' by the Chief Whip who (incorrectly) informed him that Mellish would attempt a stunt and would have the PLP vote down the measures - claiming he had a plan for a better settlement for the UK (Mellish was actually a pro-Marketeer and would have voted for the bill.) Chichester-Clark then abruptly announced that a general election would be fought on the question of British membership of the Community. Over the course of the campaign Mellish would argue for a referendum to be held on the matter, so as to deflect from the Labour Party's division on the question. Chichester-Clark in a momentary lapse of judgement would blurt out that a vote for the Conservatives would see a referendum held. In the end the general election saw the Conservatives fall just short of a majority, while Labour had to fight off challenges from Plaid Cymru in Wales; the SNP & Sillars' SLP (Sillars would be the only SLP MP re-elected.) After several days of negotiations, Chichester-Clark would enter into a confidence and supply agreement with Bonham-Carter's Liberals. Almost as soon as the new government convened, the referendum campaign would begin. The Yes campaign was backed by the leadership of the Conservative and Liberal Parties, as well as the Northern Irish VDUPP. The Labour Party in the interest of avoiding a split, opted to adopt no official party position for the referendum. The No campaign was backed by the SNP, Plaid Cymru, the NI Nationalist Party, the OUP, the National Front, the CPGB, and the Scottish Labour Party. Polls initially showed that the British people were tepid and reluctant to support British membership of the Community. The polls would narrow and show a narrow lead for Yes owing to the large financial support that it entertained from business and individual backers. What the No campaign lacked in funds it made up for in terms of raw passion. The No campaign however lacked a central, moderate, and popular figure to play the public leadership role that the Yes campaign had in Chichester-Clark, Jenkins, and Rippon. They would find this individual in the form of former Prime Minister James Callaghan who announced he would (despite having tried to gain British entry in 1969) be voting No in the referendum. With that the No campaign managed to rise in the polls leading to the result being seen as a toss up by polling day on the 13th July 1978. Results indicated that membership had been rejected in Northern Ireland, Scotland, the southern part of Wales. London, the north east and parts of south Yorkshire. Yorkshire and the majority of rural England and (central & western) Wales were in favour of Yes. The result however would be a disappointing one for Chichester-Clark and the government, with the country rejecting EEC membership by a 52.5-47.5 margin. Britain would not be joining the Common Market. This would represent a downward spiral for the Chichester-Clark government. Concerns about communist influence in the west reared their ugly head once again in early 1979 when US President Edward Gurney was slain by an assassin's bullet at a rally in Memphis - the killer was an alleged communist. The fact that Theodore Robert Bundy was a former Republican operative appeared to not filter through the media and public frenzy. Vice President Robert McNamara would take the oath of office less than an hour after the President was confirmed dead. The House of Commons Committee on Un-British Activities, under Chairman John Gouriet would see renewed interest after its formation in 1974. Then the global economy took a nosedive in 1979 and entered into a 'winter of discontent.' That year would signal a change of government economic policy away from non-interventionism towards a more interventionist economic policy. Taxes were increased across the board, wages and prices were frozen by the government in an attempt to try and contain inflation, the amount of money that could be take abroad was capped at a lower rate that it had been before, and all financial transactions overseas needed Treasury approval. These moves were very unpopular and led to Barber being unfavourably compared with Crosland. Moves to make the economic approach more centralised to the Treasury would see the Economic Affairs position dissolved and merged into the Treasury. To make matters worse a series of public sector strikes were called due to wage increase freezes. The government saw that its hands were tied due to the economic conditions, but were unprepared to give into the strikers - a standoff between the unions and the government would begin. Chichester-Clark did little to alleviate fears when he arrived back from a NATO summit in Barbados at Heathrow, where he was asked what his approach to the mounting chaos in the country was - the Prime Minister would chuckle and begin to answer, yet it was the chuckle that was carried on the news that evening. 'Robin out of touch' boomed the Mirror, 'Crisis? What Crisis?' exclaimed The Sun, carrying a photo of Chichester-Clark half-way through his laugh. The Conservative position in the polls nosedived, while Mellish's Labour Party continued to tick upwards. This rise was only stilted when allegations of Mellish sexually harassing a young male Labour activist at a constituency event were reported in The Guardian. Mellish brushed this off and made a variety of homophobic slurs about the openly gay individual and threatened to take The Guardian to court. The Guardian published an apology soon after. Some felt that Mellish received his comeuppance when a Gay Liberation Front activist smashed him in the face and broke his nose at an event in Bradford. The nation's economic state, coupled with Mellish's increasingly outlandish remarks provided Chichester-Clark with a window of opportunity to call an election in early June 1982. By this time the Tories had a unified threat from the right - the VDUPP, National Front, Democratic Party, and the English Nationalist Party had all merged into the right-wing National Party, led by Alan Clark. In an attempt to capitalise on wrong footing Labour and to use Mellish's outlandish nature to the Tories' advantage a 'debate' was held between the two main party candidates. The programme would take place in front of a live studio audience with Donald MacCormack questioning each leader in a half-an-hour segment separately. Mellish appeared first and was seen as rather effect, taking the fight to his inquisitor and stating that he would take a stand against the dishonest media which misrepresented him - that was quite a popular response. Chichester-Clark answered ably for the most part, but had been outshone by Mellish who had not self destructed as the head of the Tory campaign, party Chairman Airey Neave, had hoped. The election saw Labour win a narrow majority over the Conservatives, while the Liberals continued their slow rise into the high teens - the National Party gained a seat (in Ulster) overall to go on top of the eight it notionally held. Chichester-Clark took the loss in his stride, he would stand down at the next general election and would become a member of the board for the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and an active member of the House of Lords, taking the title of Lord Chichester-Clark of Maghera.
[2] During the first year of the new Labour government, the party would be dealt a major blow in the form of the Leyton by-election, engineered by the party leadership so as to allow the Foreign Secretary Patrick Gordon Walker to re-enter into the Commons after his loss in Smethwick in 1964. This backfired as the popular local Tory candidate won a surprise victory in the by-election. This would see a minor, but significant, reshuffle in the new government, Richard Crossman would be shifted from the Home Office to replace Gordon Walker; Home Office Minister Bob Mellish would be promoted to the position of Home Secretary. The government would be left with no majority and would be unable to engage in its proposed renationalisation program, due to two right-wing Labour MPs, Desmond Donnelly and Woodrow Wyatt opposing such policies. The Chancellor, Anthony Greenwood, would resign in frustration in April 1965, bemoaning the government's inability to press ahead with a more left-wing economic policy. Disagreements over the devaluing of the pound, something that Greenwood supporter, and which Callaghan was reluctant to press ahead with. In Greenwood's place the Prime Minister would appoint Tony Crosland as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Conflict within the Tory Party over foreign policy (after Shadow Defence Secretary Enoch Powell gave a speech arguing for withdrawal from East of Suez; a direct snub to the United States.) Questions were raised over Butler's leadership (or lack thereof), though he would remain in place. Crossman's brief tenure at the Home Office had seen a PMB introduced by Sydney Silverman, advocating the temporary suspension of the death penalty, was passed. After such a vote the new Home Secretary, Bob Mellish, was committed to preventing any further social change in the United Kingdom during his tenure at the Home Office. Moves to liberalise abortion, contraception and sodomy laws were blocked either by Mellish's direct actions, or by his reliance on 'Bob's Boys' - a group of social conservative Labour MPs (Simon & Peter Mahon, Walter Alldritt and Leo Abse) who would work together to kill PMBs on certain social questions (namely David Steel's abortion PMB in 1965.) The government would also see a gradual de-jure British withdrawal from South Arabia, installing the anti-communist FLOSY group under Abdullah al Asnag, in power. This, coupled with Tory divisions and the popularity of the government, would contribute to Labour's returning with nearly 380 seats at the 1966 general election. Silverman would be punished in his Nelson & Colne seat, where he would be defeated by a Tory backed candidacy from the ENP of Patrick Downey, the uncle of one of the victims of the Moors Murderers - he ran on a decidedly pro-death penalty ticket. After the election, relations with the United States began to decline further, through the actions of the Foreign Secretary, Richard Crossman (who would be called "a lazy S.O.B. by President Johnson during a visit in 1967), the county would begin to lapse on its NATO commitments. The US were especially irked by the government's refusal to get involved in Vietnam and its withdrawal from South Arabia (where a communist revolt was expected.) Relations with Israel would improve during this period; an intervention of advisors to Biafra to aid the Igbo people was also proposed, though nothing would come of this. The 1968 Conservative leadership election would see Iain Macleod propelled to a narrow victory over Enoch Powell and Reginald Maudling (who was harmed by his support of his daughter, who bore an illegitimate child.) UK efforts to join the EEC would be further frustrated with French President Charles de Gaulle's use of a veto once again in 1969. The Commonwealth Immigrants Act 1969 would see a general move to tighten immigration laws - this would pass with backbench Tory support. This was not enough for Wyatt and Donnelly who would split off to form their own 'Democratic Party' in 1969. The passage of the bill was condemned and applauded from many different quarters - Ian Gilmour, Iain Macleod and the Beatles (with their 'Commonwealth' song which directly referenced Mellish) would be strong opponents of Mellish and his immigration reforms. In Northern Ireland the position of the embattled UUP leader Terence O'Neill would come to a head with the bombing of a water reservoir by loyalists in 1969 - he would be replaced by critic and former government minister Brian Faulkner, who defeated O'Neill's (equally critical) cousin James Chichester-Clark, by a single vote. British troops, with assurances of support for the B Specials and the RUC, from Mellish, would be met with warmth from Irish Catholic Nationalists. During this period the Liberal Party would elect the social liberal Eric Lubbock as its new leader, making the potential of Liberal support for the Conservatives in the event of a hung parliament more likely. Heading into 1970 the government would receive a shock concerning the nation's finances, leading to Crosland making the unpopular decision of devaluing the pound. Increases in taxation across the board were seen to 'lessen the blow' (in the words of the Foreign Secretary.) Heading into the election year of 1970, Callaghan would see to it that the cabinet would be 'spring cleaned' appointing loyal Ministers to his government, in place of more rebellious Ministers. Mellish would introduce The Misuse of Drugs Act 1970, a hardline anti-drug bill which would see drug use, possession, dealing, and production, dealt with seriously by the authorities. in cabinet the legislation was criticised by the Education Secretary Roy Jenkins; he would be attacked by Mellish who branded him a “supreme sodomite and evangelist for permissiveness.” The publication of a white paper written by Harold Wilson and Barbara Castle was met with fury from Number 10 who threatened the two with immediate removal from office. Callaghan's address to a generally belligerent TUC was receive with an standing ovation, and is considered one of the best speeches of a British Prime Minister during the second part of the twentieth century. The release of trading figures before the 1970 general election would see many predict that Labour would fall below a majority. While this didn't materialise, the government was reduced to a mere 338 seats. Callaghan's first act in office was to sack Jenkins from the cabinet, replacing him with ardent loyalist Ray Gunter. A mass demonstration in Trafalgar Square in November 1970, held by students to protest the government's conservative social policy, would turn into a series of riots that would grip the nation until January 1971. The riots only succeeded in launching the annual Nationwide Festival of Light, a Christian march which received support from various members of the government. Around this time Macleod would die and was replaced by moderate Ulster MP Robin Chichester-Clark, who once again defeated Powell by a slender margin. At the Tory conference where Chichester-Clark was elected, the party delegates voted in favour of a plank that would commit a future Tory government to supporting the reintroduction of the death penalty. The move to reintroduce the death penalty would begin in summer the early summer of 1972 when Downey introduced a PMB to do just that. It would receive behind the scenes support from the Home Office and would be buoyed with Downey's moving speech in the chamber, which saw many nominally anti-rope MPs vote in his favour. The country would however get bogged down in a conflict in South Arabia, supporting the anti-communist FLOSY regime, against the Soviet aligned communist forces, the Federation of Arab Republic backed YAR and forces of the Kingdom of Yemen, who were aided by Saudi Arabia. 'Britain's Vietnam' would play a major part in culture during this decade, with the much loved 'NAAFI' comedy series arising out of the (funnier side of the) conflict. The effects of the Arab invasion and near defeat of Israel in late 1972 would see the British government stretched to breaking point in an effort to support their Israeli allies. During the crisis the Foreign Secretary, Richard Crossman, would collapse due to ill health, and was replaced by Denis Healey at the Foreign Office (John Stonehouse would replace Healey at the MoD.) The conflict would ultimately be won by Israel after using small nuclear devises against the Arab forces. As a retaliation for western support for Israel, OPEC would force the price of a barrel of oil to over $4. In the aftermath of the events the Prime Minister addressed the nation on Christmas Eve 1972, he announced he would be standing down in the new year.
[3] George Brown's election as Labour leader was both a surprise and a shock to many in Westminster. The Labour Deputy Leader had just scraped into the last round ahead of Denis Healey, and would defeat Harold Wilson in a hotly contested leadership race. The party and country would be rocked by allegations concerning a communist spy being in the party and even the cabinet. Brown won on account of him having no suggestions of an affiliation with the eastern bloc. His new cabinet would be filled with loyalists of the old leadership of the party. Many of those who had badmouthed Brown over the prior years would suffer demotion or the sack as a result of their comments. Brown would launch a goodwill tour after his election, meeting voters up and down the country in an effort to combat the government's haemorrhaging at the polls - especially as the forces of Scottish, Welsh, and English nationalism flexed their muscles, generally at Labour's expense. In Northern Ireland the situation was deteriorating, though the authorities still had the upper hand. Faulkner would be weakened at the 1973 general election in NI, with the Nationalist Party winning 11 seats, owing to the Unionist vote being split between Bill Craig & Ian Paisley's VDUPP and the NI Labour Party led by David Bleakley. Brown would soon after jet off to Washington, D.C. for talks with the Murphy Administration, in an attempt to warm relations between the two nations. While there was definitely a move in 'the right direction,' relations still were quite icy. Brown would notably (and jokingly) dance with 'Taptoe George' to a mock version of 'Bad Bad Leroy [George] Brown.' Back at home as 1973 became 1974 the global recession began to ease off, this gave Brown's government a bit of breathing room over the coming months. This breathing space would soon contract once more, when it was reported that several leading military officials believed that the war in South Arabia was a drain on resources and could have been 'won' much sooner if the war and resources had not been mismanaged. A whiff of financial improprieties concerning the Defence Secretary would help contribute to the government's fall in support at the end of the year. This, coupled with the buoyant Conservative & Unionists in the polls, would lead to a rather predictable result in the end for the general election.
[4] Robin Chichester-Clark would form the first Conservative government in over a decade in 1975. He was the first Conservative Prime Minister to have a direct link to Northern Ireland since Bonar Law, who had served as Prime Minister five decades prior. The immediate priorities of the government were to ensure that the 'damage' of the Labour government over the last decade. Decimalisation and various tax reforms were spearheaded in the first budget of Anthony Barber. Meanwhile a PMB introduced by Ian Gilmour would see homosexuality decriminalised in late 1975 - 'too little too late' in the words of the PMB's introducer. Pushes to liberalise other social issues would ultimately come to nothing, as Chichester-Clark was reluctant to support such pushes, especially with the conservative electorate in his Londonderry seat. Chichester-Clark's government would be formed by a mixture of those on the right and left of the party; Barber at the Treasury, Rippon at the Foreign Office, Amery at the Ministry of Defence, Norman St John-Stevas at the Home Office, Sandys at the new Commonwealth Affairs Office, Thatcher at Education, Heath (having returned to parliament in a by-election in Cambridge in 1967) was the newly created Minister for Europe, Airey Neave was the new Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. The 'Government of All Talents' was seen as a welcome break from the Callaghan cabinet format with its silencing of those who disagreed with the general direction of policy within government. In relation to Northern Ireland policy, Chichester-Clark saw to it that there would be a 'gloves off' approach to militants on both sides of the isle, while also supporting general reform of institutions (or "tinkering within") political and social, without removing said institutions. These moves would ultimately result in the adoption of fairer electoral boundaries (the removal of the 'Derrymandered' electoral boundaries, which were replaced with multimember constituencies based on council areas, which would each elect three members - except Belfast which saw three members elected based on the nine electoral districts within the city) that exist to this day. The moves were generally well received by most across the political divide, though this did contribute to a further haemorrhaging of votes from the OUP to the VDUPP. A general strike was called in opposition to these moves by the Ulster Workers Council, the move nearly ground Northern Ireland to a halt as the means of energy production were now unmanned. Only the intervention by the military to get services up and running, the resolve of Faulkner and the eventual boredom of some of the strikers, would see the strike fail in its aim of forcing the government's hand and collapsing the Faulkner government. At the 1977 general election in Northern Ireland, Faulkner would gain a slightly larger share of the vote and would gain a handful of seats, ensuring his position as Premier was moderately safer than it had been in 1973. Moves towards devolution were made for Wales and Scotland, with the party adhering to the Declaration of Perth which committed the party to a devolved Scottish Assembly. Referendums were held in both Wales and Scotland (a motion for a Yes vote to be endorsed by 40% of the entire electorate was voted down) in 1976; Scotland would narrowly vote Yes by a 52-48 margin (there was divisions within both the Scottish Conservative and Labour parties on the question - most Tories were understood to be leaning towards No); Wales would reject devolution by a 77-33 margin. The Scottish Assembly would convene for the first time on St. Andrew's Day 1978, with Conservative George Younger elected as Chief Executive, leading a minority coalition with the Scottish Liberals (led by Laura Grimond, wife of the former leader, who would take the position of Deputy Chief Executive); Labour was led into second place by Tam Dalyell, the SNP were led by William Wolfe (their leader and 'longtime' MP), and the 'Scottish Labour Party' of Jim Sillars would return three MSAs at that election. The failure to achieve 'home rule' for Wales would not weaken the rise of Plaid Cymru in Wales. The global economy by 1977/78 was generally in a far better place than it had been during 1972/73. The government's programme of small-to-medium scale privatisation of several industries was generally popular, though it was met with a series of strikes in early 1978, of which the government would emerge with a slight upper hand. At the 1975 general election Labour and the Liberals had seen both of their leaders lose their marginal seats to Conservative candidates, thus forcing both parties to hold leadership elections in the coming months. The Liberals would see a fight between the various factions of the party - the traditional Liberals represented by Mark Bonham-Carter, the social liberals (now increasingly dominated by Roy Jenkins and his acolytes) represented by David Marquand (a 'paper' candidate for Roy Jenkins), and the outsiders, represented by Emlyn Hooson and Trevor Jones. Bonham-Carter would narrowly edge Marquand for the leadership. For Labour, the leadership race was seen as a referendum on the Callaghan years, yet it was a remarkably open and shut election. Bob Mellish would easily see off challenges from the left - in the form of Barbara Castle, and from the Gaitskellite right - in the form of Douglas Jay. Mellish's victory is seen to have been as a result of his close connections with the party whips and his usage of patronage while at the Home Office. One of the more interesting episodes of his earlier leadership was concerning the MP for Northampton North - Maureen Colquhoun. Colquhoun had been selected as a safe pair of hands and a traditional female MP. She raised some eyebrows with her insistence early on in the new parliament at being addressed to as Ms. rather than Mrs. by the Speaker (Enoch Powell, who had been elected to the post not long before stated that in the interest of parliamentary tradition he would not entertain the request.) She was seen initially as an ally of Mellish on account of her seemingly defending his Immigration policy and arguing against branding people as racialists. This would earn her a junior shadow ministerial position. This would all change when she decided to come out and announce she was a lesbian and would leave her Sunday Times journalist husband Keith Colquhoun for a female publisher. Mellish, enraged, saw to it that she was deselected by her constituency party due to her "obsession with trivialities such as women's rights." She appealed this decision, but was rebuffed by the party NEC. After she punched a car park attendant after he made a slur against her, Mellish would use this as an opportunity to have her whip resigned. Sensing she had no chance at getting back into the parliamentary party, Colqhoun would sit as an Independent until November 1977, when she would form the 'Women's Party' - a direct reference to the party founded by Christabel and Emmeline Pankhurst nearly sixty years to the day. The party would gain some words of encouragement from the likes of Germaine Greer and other leading feminists, but its growth would be stifled by the calling of a general election. Despite being endorsed by the local Liberal (and ironically National Front) party, Colquhoun would come in a distant third with a respectable 23% of the vote - this would hand the seat to Conservative Richard Tracey.

This is just fantastic.
There actually is a bit on Rev. William Arthur I was able to find on Findagrave (December 05, 1796 - October 27, 1875). Honestly it's strange that even this much information exists for the guy. Regardless, excellent work!
