For the sake of convenience, say that James Monroe died during the war of 1812 when he performed that rearguard action, therefore ensuring that he would not be able to be elected in 1816, who exactly would be the nominee/nominees for the Presidency in his place.
Andrew Jackson is a possibility, considering that he would be fresh off his victory of New Orleans. Southerner
William H Crawford - diehard states-rights man is also a possibility. Southerner.
Henry Clay - maybe.
John Quincy Adams - very much a unionist, decent diplomat. Eyes on the Presidency. Northerner
Rufus King - on the Federalist ballot in OTL. Northerner.
Maybe William Henry Harrison.
Are there any others people could think of who could run in 1816, and even be elected?
