28 dic 1835 anni - Election of 1836

Descrizione:

Andrew Jackson got the Democratic party to nominate his vice president Martin Van Buren. The Whigs were scared for Van Buren was a "master of practical politics" and nominated 3 candidates each from a different region so they vote would be taken to the House of Representatives. This did not work and Van Buren won the electoral vote by 58%.
