It reflects on the Puritans’’ ideals and beliefs. Such as, they believed in salvation and that the fate of individual soul was predetermined by God. Also, that salvation was a private choice among God and the 'Elect'. Elects or Saints were the ones who were saved and the ones who weren't were 'wicked’.

Jonathan Edwards states, “nothing to lay hold of to save yourself, nothing to keep off the flames of wrath, nothing of your own, nothing that you ever have done, nothing that you can do, to induce God to spare you one moment..”(Edward 48). This quote examines that all human are originally sinned. In the early years of Americans, human nature is established upon religious beliefs which were puritanism and deism. Puritans believed in predestination which meant that god planned eternal damnation for some and eternal salvation for others.

The Republican incumbent Senator Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania was placed in a difficult position throughout his Senatorial campaign. With an unstable, hectic presidential campaign in progress, the citizens of Pennsylvania were curious as to whether the two senatorial candidates were in support or opposed to their party’s respective presidential candidates. While Katie McGinty, the democratic candidate for the Pennsylvania Senate, clearly endorsed Hillary Clinton, Toomey refrained from expressing clear support for Donald Trump. Although McGinty attacked Toomey’s lack of decisiveness and called him weak, Toomey took this stance strategically. Toomey resulted in winning the Pennsylvania Senatorial election through his status as an incumbent, and his strategic decision to refrain from fully endorsing Donald Trump.

Although Burr was never able to reach 50% in the polls, he exceeded that threshold on Election Day and defeated Ross by almost 6%. In order to analyze the political climate further, I will be comparing the exit polls for both Trump vs. Clinton and Burr vs Ross. This will help explain why Ross was entering the Senate race with a disadvantage despite media pundits arguing that higher turnout in presidential election years should benefit Ross. Although Five Thirty Eight gave Clinton the slight edge to defeat Trump in North Carolina, Trump’s was able to carry the state with a modest performance. Although Real Clear Politics had Burr winning by an average of 2%, that was certainly below the 5.7% final result. In a three way race between Trump, Clinton, and Johnson, Trump was predicted to win North Carolina by about 1%. The actual results, however, showed Trump winning by about 4%. Although this paper is focusing on the Senate race, it’s certainly important to note the impact that a presidential candidate can have on the electoral map, particularly

Reverend Edwards was a religious leader during “The Great Awakening”, a time of spiritual revival, and desperately wanted all of his congregation to have faith, and be saved in the Heavenly Father.

Religious writing had a substantial impact on Puritans during the Great Awakening.

Kennedy’s brother, would be the Democrat nominee for President. After he declined the offer, the race became wide open. The perceived front runners for the nomination were Senator Edmund Muskie and former Vice President Hubert Humphrey. Muskie had been running a successful campaign in ‘68 when the “Canuck letter” came out, and after responding emotionally to accusations about his wife, his calm and reasoned persona was ruined.

In August, McGovern was given 200 to 1 odds of securing the Democratic nomination.(Anson)
