Joseph Jacks

Joseph Jacks was the Prime Minister of Sheaman from 1926-1940 and 1945-1960 and has been arguably the most influential and respected Prime Minister in Sheaman history.

Early Life (1898-1916)
Joseph (Jose/Oliver) Jacks most commonly referred to by his followers (created by the black community) J.J (je-je) had a troubling early life with him being beaten by his politically Authoritarian father Jose Swearen Jacks who believed in punishment and discipline towards children. When J.J was 9 he began to take an interest in political issues which drove him towards a more political and person. His political readings included The Communist Manifesto (1848) by Karl Marx/Friedrich Engels, the Market Manifesto (1898), The Lenin Compromise (1908), the road towards a free country (1910), (Discrimination) 1912) and obviously his most important book Definition (1915) all by Oliver C.B Sar. He also read the Christians Freedoming in Sheaman (1894), the minority (1899), the established government (1907), the greater good of capitalism (1912) all by Alexander C.B Sar. J.J then left his house in the late winter/early spring of 1916 months before he turned 18 when he heard news that his father had been injured whilst serving in europe and was being sent home.

Depression
Once i left there was no return, thus it gave me a feeling of emptiness and loneliness which led to me ending up with Alexander," Joseph Jacks 1932. J.J evidently fell into a state of depression for many months until he met Alexander C.B Sar by the beach in April 1916. Alexander lived with his brother Oliver C.B Sar in a nice house at the sea and J.J would visit Alexander about everyday for months until on his birthday he was gifted a bronze necklace with the current pope Benedict XV. However the bigger picture was when only a few minutes later he offered J.J a small room and he accepted it.

Inspiration For The Arts (1916-1926)
J.J managed to talk to Oliver C.B Sar the ex Vice Minister and later Prime Minister of Sheaman and they discussed things about his books and his work in the political world. J.J said in 1932 "Oliver was a man with an outstanding knowledge of the wider political world, although i did not agree with the majority of his ideas i still gave him the utmost respect."

Only a few months after moving in he joined the ADSP (Authoritarian Democratic Sheaman Party) as constituent leader of New Manchester in the city of Sheaman from 1916-1919 before resigning.

Later that year (1919) he was appointed as Deputy leader of the party and became leader of the party in 1921 after the ex-leader Patrick Wells resigned from his position. After becoming leader of the party he stood in the August 1921 election winning 25.3% of votes which was an increase of 12.5% which showed a lot of progress in the position of the party.

However after some time in the party Joseph Jacks finally won the 1926 General Election with a very short lead due to how controversial he was at the time. His win in the general election was also extremely controversial but not as controversial as the 1921 general election.

Leadership (1926-1940)
After winning the election he began his political career with his first term starting to solidify how his controversy was utter nonsense and that he was beginning a future of him in power.

In the 1930 General Election he easily won a majority and changed the parties name to the Social & Liberal Party which led to a small group of politicians in the political party to leave it and form a more authoritarian/conservative party called the Representation Party.

In 1933 with such a massive population crisis, immigration crisis and a plant crisis J.J justified his attempt to become dictator of the country which was successful. This was a major event in history as it shaped a massive history behind Sheaman.

In 1939 Adolf Hitler met with J.J to discuss the events of the world and J.J expressed his passion of peace in the world in which Adolf agreed with him. However Adolf Hitler expressed his feelings of europe and guaranteed the protection of his island from the aggression of the Japanese if he joined Adolf's war in europe. J.J expressed how inhumane his war was and his ideology was corrupt and Adolf left only hours later and declared war the next day.

In 1940 J.J was sentenced to life imprisonment in and asylum that was to "help him." He was eventually released in January 1945 when the island was liberated by british forces and was installed as a democratic leader in Sheaman.

Restoration and Death 1945-1960
Many elections were held thereafter with him almost losing control of the country in the 1951 General election when he received 36.7% of votes with UTSI (Unite The Sheaman Isles) party receiving 33.3% of votes.

On the 18th of June 1960 his life abruptly stopped when he was assassinated by Carl Carlson an extremist ex-politician who was promptly arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment. The 18th of June 1960 was an extremely Historic day and his unofficial funeral at the Shriel Market Square was attended by a mass of 100,000 civilians. His official funeral attended by the people closest to him including his son Xavier (aged 41) and his grandson Ivan (aged 10) was on the 1st of July 1960. In 1963 it became a national holiday for every citizen in the country to commemorate his career and legacy.

Politics
Between 1916-1924 he would have been considered a Christian Conservative with his politics being slightly influenced by Christianity which he developed a liking in 1916 whilst he was visiting Alexander C.B Sar. His politics would have been considered quite tough with him supporting jail time for homosexuals, women's rights for voting, pro capitalist sentiment, centrist and conservative politicians in the government and more more. He was quite controversial at the time for supporting Oliver C.B Sar in the Sheaman Civil War from 1918-1919 and in his time as prime minister from 1919-1923.

In 1924 his political opinions began to change and in many books J.J is referred to as a centrist politician by many different authors. This sudden change in his politics was seen as good and many people say his more centrist approach to politics came from his giving up of religion entirely in 1923. In many different conferences and manifestos the party supported rights for homosexuals, lower income taxes, a larger government, more spending in education and healthcare, introduction of a government healthcare for the disadvantaged and less government media and building construction.

Later in 1926 his party barely won the general election with very low extra votes and this was the closest election in Sheaman's history. Eventually the election results went to national congress (Government court) which officially ruled 162 to 147 that the ADSP had won.

once taking power J.J would Women the right to education in 1926 as well as allowing abortion under life threatening situations. J.J famously legalised homosexuality in 1929 in full support of its qualities and visited many homosexuals as part of a scientific program he started only months before legalising homosexuality. "Homosexuals are humans, just like you and me they wake up at 6:00 in the morning, they eat breakfast, they go to work, they come home. they eat dinner, they sleep, they are human," Joseph Jacks 1929 debating his cabinet over legalising homosexuality.

By 1930 J.J was considered a Center-Left Liberal and J.J officially changed the party name to the Social & Liberal Party. He refused to accept the social liberal party because he said he wasn't a social liberal in ideology and that he was a social democrat/center-left progressive. After changing the party name a minority of members left the party to form the Representation Party. This was really bad for the party as it no longer held a majority and thus the Sheaman Assembly barley voted in favour of a majority with 52% in the vote.
