US Election 1812 Map
In 1812, the country was at war and deeply divided over it. James Madison was running for re-election as the War of 1812 raged against Britain, and not everyone thought it was a good idea. The Federalists regrouped in New England, railing against the conflict. They pushed their own candidate, DeWitt Clinton. It was a close, tense race. Our 1812 US election map captures the results.
