1799

The war with France swings in America’s favor. Most altercations see the American Navy seize many French vessels. Using this tactic, the American Navy triples in ship size. Most of these are held as ransom in order to secure American priorities after the war. Spain closes off its ports to France after King Henry I threatens closing the Mississippi River to Spanish trade ships. Stuck between the American and British Royal Navies, Spain ceases support for France in the Caribbean, while supplying forces on the European continent. King Henry rejects calls for armed conflict with Spain, claiming France as the primary threat.
  The king, age 74 at this time, grows worried about his ailing health and sends word to Prussia, requesting the presence of his younger brother, Prince Augustus Ferdinand, in order to secure succession of the crown.
  Napoleon Bonaparte becomes First Consul of the French Republic.
  A resolution passed both houses of Congress, and sent to the states to ratify, that would allow the Chancellor to appoint the President of the Senate as opposed to being the runner up for the Chancellery. This is in response to James Madison being the President, despite low approval of Federalists and Libertarians, who combine hold a super majority in the Senate. This eventually becomes the Twelfth Amendment.
