The presidential election of 1860 highlighted a significant decline in the political power of the South, as the election of Abraham Lincoln, a candidate from the anti-slavery Republican Party, demonstrated the increasing dominance of Northern interests. The South's inability to unify behind a single candidate, coupled with its reliance on slavery, alienated many voters and diminished its influence in national politics. Lincoln’s victory prompted Southern states to secede from the Union, ultimately leading to the Civil War, as they felt their political power and way of life were under threat.
The election of George W. Bush and Al Gore was the lowest margin of victory.
In the United States, there was no election in 2009. There was a presidential election in 2008, when the current president Barack Obama claimed victory over his opponent John McCain.
The three political precedents of the presidential election of 1832 were the use of national party conventions to nominate candidates, the emergence of a strong two-party system with the Democrats and Whigs, and the implementation of a platform outlining the party's positions on key issues. These precedents set the stage for modern political campaigning and party organization in the United States.

The United States presidential election of 1976 followed the resignation of President Richard Nixon in the wake of the Watergate scandal. It pitted incumbent President Gerald Ford, the Republican candidate, against the relatively unknown former governor of Georgia, Jimmy Carter, the Democratic candidate. Ford was saddled with a slow economy and paid a political price for his pardon of Nixon. Carter ran as a Washington outsider and reformer and won a narrow victory. He was the first president elected from the Deep South since Zachary Taylor in 1848. Eugene McCarthy, a former Democratic Senator from Minnesota, ran as an independent candidate.
The 1980 United States presidential election was the 49th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 4, 1980. Republican nominee Ronald Reagan defeated incumbent Democratic president Jimmy Carter in a landslide victory.

Richard Nixon won the 1968 presidential election as the Republican candidate. His victory came after a tumultuous period in American history marked by civil rights protests, Vietnam War protests, and the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. Nixon appealed to voters with a promise to bring law and order and to end the war in Vietnam, which resonated with a significant portion of the American electorate.
A key factor contributing to the Whig victory in the presidential election of 1840 was their effective use of campaign tactics and strategies. The Whig candidate, William Henry Harrison, was presented as a "log cabin and hard cider" candidate, emphasizing his humble background and portraying him as a man of the people. The Whigs also successfully utilized mass rallies and parades to mobilize support and turn out voters. Additionally, their strong organization and coordination at the state level helped secure victory.
