US Presidential Election Results, from George Washington's unanimous selection in 1789 to Barack Obama's handy victory over John McCain in 2008. **Frequently Asked Questions** 1. Where are the Democratic-Republicans? "Democratic-Republican" is an anachronistic term, used today to differentiate the early "party," if you can call it that, founded by Jefferson and Madison, from the current Republican Party, founded in the 1850s. In the 1790s and 1800s, the Democratic-Republicans were more commonly called Republicans, and to a lesser extent Democrats. To be accurate, I have chosen to call them Republicans in this video. I have colored them Green, to distinguish from today's Republican Party, which is colored red. 2. Isn't Andrew Jackson a Democrat? Yes! Andrew Jackson is the first Democratic president. He helped create the modern-day Demoratic Party. But this was only when John Quincy Adams became president in 1824-25, despite losing the popular vote. The furor this caused throughout the country, particularly among Jacksonian farmers, was cleverly cultivated for four years until Jackson ran against Adams again in 1828. By then, the Democratic Party had been formed to channel that passion into electing Jackson to the presidency. However, in 1824, during the end of the Era of Good Feelings, everyone was technically a Democratic-Republican, which I have labeled Republican, per the aforementioned point. 3. Where are John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, and Chester Arthur? These men were never elected to the presidency. They were only elected as Vice Presidents. This is a video of election results, not presidential succession. Thus, they only appear whenever they're on a national ballot. I'm not including 1841, 1850, 1865, and 1881, as transition years, since these are about election results. There are two typos, not mentioned yet. One is the Era of Good Feelings, of which I have carelessly left off the "s" at the end. And also Strom Thurmond is misspelled, again leaving out the "d" at the end. These will be corrected in an updated 2013 version, after the next election is completed.

Back when cali was a proud republican

My theme song

Ahh the biggest hypocrisy in politics no one talks about in media because of all the biased, and that is the democrats where conservatives and the republicans where liberals. Yet many people sweep it under the rug "because it is a different time as people say" but regardless it is still hypocrisy at the end of the day.

sorry if my example is hard to understand.

the reason why i am using this election year as an example is because it actually fully proved that the solid south era was coming to an end. And that the solid south would eventually turn into the southern strategy because of changing time in both time itself and ideologically.

well nowadays it is the exact opposite. ever since the 1964 election in which Barry Morris Goldwater got most of the states that didn't even vote republican since the Reconstruction era of US history. Also it was the first time in US history that the state of Georgia voted Republican and the state of Vermont voted Democratic.

Dayum Franky D!

George Washington was not in a party.

Michael Dukakis still alive that dinosaur? He should have committed suicide after the election in 1988

You have to be a bit naïve to be a Republican. However you have to be extremely ignorant to be a communist democrat.

Please don't be the typical American who thinks the US is a free country. Those people are retards who are used to a tyrannical system of government.

You can see all these candidates in my updated video, which has been posted earlier this month.

I guess you can't read FAQs.

Jefferson's party was the Democratic-Republican party. The republican party did not come into play until Lincoln. During Lincoln the Republicans were the liberals and the Democrats were the conservatives.

chaotic election specter of population ?

Reality my friend. The Republicans are coming back in 2016 unless the economy improves a lot more. As for human rights, congratulations the US is just as repressive as Syria.
