The Presidential Election of 1800

The presidential election of 1860 set the stage for the American Civil war. By 1860, the nation had been divided mostly up to that point regarding questions of states’ rights and slavery in the territories. Southerners were outraged over the plan by abolitionist, John Brown, to start a slave rebellion at Harper Ferry, Virginia. This event garnered headlines all over the nation in newspapers and magazines. On the other hand, the Northern Republic seemed equally anger by the Supreme Court decision in the case of Dred Scott v. Stanford, which declared free soil unconstitutional. The Northern Democrats, however, struggled to persuade the Americans that their policy of popular sovereignty still made since.

A key turning point in American politics was the election of 1980. It indicated the new electoral power of the suburbs. The success that Reagan had as a conservative would initiate a group of parties because liberals and conservatives would either leave politics or change party affiliations through 1980 's and 1990 's. The research shows this caused the 1980 election to be recalled as one of America 's best historical events.

Adams vs Jefferson, The Tumultuous Election of 1800, describes the events of the infamous United States Presidential Election of 1800, the election that forever changed the landscape of American politics and reestablished the principles of the American Revolution. The election of 1800 was a battle of two political powerhouses: John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. They were two of America’s founding fathers who were once great friends, but were thrown against each other as adversaries with the future of America in their hands.

The Election of 1864 was important for many reasons, including the outcome of the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln’s assassination, and the first Presidential Re-Elect since 1832. Abraham Lincoln ran for the Union Party and ran against General George B McClellan and John Fremont. Lincoln was very pessimistic about his chances of winning the Presidential race, as evidenced by the memorandum he penned, stating what he would do in the very likely event that he was not re-elected. The victories in Atlanta and Cedar Creek boosted Lincoln’s chances of winning immensely. Lincoln eventually won with a 55/45 split of the popular vote and an electoral landslide. His election eventually lead to the North’s victory in the Civil War and the abolition of slavery.

From 1880 and 1900 us cities grew a dramatic change. Almost 40 percent of township in the united states lost population because of migration. In fact, 80 to 90 percent of the eligible voters consistently voted in local and national elections. This amazing turnout occurred at a time when the major political parties differed little on the issues and when the platforms of the two main national political parties were almost indistinguishable. Consequently, throughout this time, voters gave few strict mandates to either parties or individuals and the outcomes of the presidential races were determined by a relatively small number of votes. Although Grover Cleveland, elected in 1884, was the first Democratic presidential candidate to win office since James Buchanan in 1856, no sitting President had a majority of his own party in both houses of Congress for his entire term.

During the critical 1800 election, the author has written regarding Founding Fathers of America who are Jefferson, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, and Aaron Burr.

Even though election could be pursued in harsh adherence to law and principle with not turn into a battle of political ideology, in spite of the scheming between Adams and Jefferson, they remain as representations to be respected in the history of America. This book is pointing out extremely well about their unbridgeable breaks and the differences of their political devices.

The election of 1800 would go down as being the election that proved the new government could withstand differences in opinion in a diverse country. With the first two elections being dominated by the Federalist Party, the election of 1800 was a change in the status quo because the new Democratic - Republican Party would take office. This change in power showed that a change in leadership could happen in this government and the country would still be able to go on. The election realigned the nation and ushered in an era of Democratic-Republican Party rule and the eventual downfall of the Federalist Party.

Throughout history, politics have evolved and have changed drastically. American politics had changed especially in the mid 1800’s.

Presidential election cycles are always three-ring circuses, and the 2000 election has become one of the biggest circuses ever. With a two-term president unable to seek re-election, the House of Representatives clearly up for grabs, and Democrats counting on major Senate gains -- even hoping to win control -- there is a lot at stake in this year's elections. Republicans' optimism is based on their view that they will take back the White House after an eight-year hiatus. GOP insiders believe that Americans are tired of Bill Clinton, have doubts about Vice President Al Gore and are ready for change. Republican turnout was down in 1998, which helps account for the party's poor showing in the off-year

On the 30th April 1789 America’s first President, George Washington was elected into office and was to stay in power until 1797.

This book details the struggles concerning the elections of 1800. Ironically, I found many parallels with present day politics. The "Federalist" who believed in big government and central power in a sort of monarchical government against the 'republicans' or "anti-federalist" that where big supporters of the original intent of the Constitution, de-centralized government doing battle. This fits the narrative we see today where the two factions are "Big Government" Republicans and Democrats and the smaller government "republicans" (emphasis on the lowercase 'r') which has members of more "traditional" Democrats and Republicans.
