US Election 1816 Map
By 1816, the political landscape had quieted down. The Federalist Party was collapsing and James Monroe was the Democratic-Republican candidate that coasted to victory. With the War of 1812 over, voters were ready for stability. On our 1816 US election map, Monroe nearly sweeps it all. Only Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Delaware stuck with the fading Federalists.
