My question is simple, what would have happened had war broken out between the United States and Great Britain over the Chesapeake-Leapard Affair. Instead of the embargo of 1807-we get the war of 1807.
How badly do things go for President Jefferson and the Republicans in such a timeline.
What kind of outcome can we see in such a war?
Does Jefferson run for a third term with this ongoing conflict existing, or does he hand the reigns over to James Madison.
Does the war even last into November of 1808?
