that it would be difficult to speculate about him?
Could the Federalists have survived?
Could anything be inferred about an alternate time

Northwest Territory to Britain as a reserve for its Indian
allies, Louisiana ceded to Britain as a colony, and Madison
captured by the British during their raid on Washington.
That might make the public so disgusted with the Republicans
that King could win.
