Knowing what the issues were for each of the elections will serve as a good review as well as a good framework on viewing the American political tradition. Use the following flow chart to tell what were the issues that surrounded each presidential election from 1792-1900. In doing this assignment research what each opposing side offered or appealed to. What was the difference in the election if it was close? How and why did political parties form for each of the elections. Answers should be brief, no more than 3 to 4 sentences for each side of the election. Study the flow chart before you begin and before you email me that it is confusing, b/c at first it is confusing, but after you study it and look at the elections and issues it should start to make more sense. At times there is more than two parties, such as the elections of 1856 &1860, in that case do not forget to mention the smaller parties also. Make 1 illustration for each election that shows what you think is the most important point of the election.
