America was growing powerful in the 1800s.  It was no threat to the powers of Europe, but it had natural resources that never ran out.  Sooner or later, it would eclipse Europe.  The European branches of my family did not wish that to happen and concocted many schemes to stop it.  There were many bullets in the guns aimed at America in those years.  One of them was aimed at the Jeffersonian Republicans.  That had many unintended consequences.
