I've included some Whigs and (early) Republicans since those parties probably better align with our ideology now than the old Democrats, but I've also included some of the old Democrats too.
Obviously, feel free to comment with anyone I left out that you prefer.

I originally had McCormack in place of him. McCormack is interesting, but Albert was the better choice.

That is bad-ass.
