Jacksonian Democracy vs. Clay's American System (slave, government, China, ally)

[Electric Blue]

Which would you have supported? Personally,I'm torn. On the one hand,I would have supported the idea of manifest destiny,which Clay opposed. On the other,Clay's plans were better with regards to internal improvements,which are the responsibility of government.

Jackson. Yea we might be somewhat poorer today, have fewer public works and fewer billboards lining the roads but we'd be American citizens instead of American "consumers".

Maybe our culture would be more concerned with learning and self-improvement instead of filling our pressboard mcmansions with plastic crap from China too.

Or maybe we'd be living in the Confederate States of America trying to fight off slave revolts, the Nazi controlled North and Imperial Colony of California.
