It is false. The election of 1796 resulted in a Federalist president and a Republican vice president.
First of all, our elections now take place only on one day. That particular election took place from a monday December 15th 1788 to Saturday January 10th 1789. It was the only election that ever took place that was partially in a year that wasn't a multiple of 4. In the election George Washington was unanimously elected for the office of President, and John Adams was the vice president. Basically there was not a formal election- individual states chose who they were going to send to elect the President, and when they all met together they unanimously voted for Washington. The total number of electoral votes was 69.
Not really. He ran unopposed in 1789 and 1792 and chose not to run in 1796, so he never lost an election as an incumbent.
The election of 1800 was more important than the election of 1796. In 1796 George Washington was elected president unopposed. The election of 1800 had several people vying for the presidency.
the 1796 presidential election:
His running mate, Thomas Pinckney, failed to win the vice presidency.
John Adams won in 1796 over Jefferson.
It was deadlock between Jefferson and Adams. The southern states voted for Jefferson while electors from the northern states voted for Adams
1796 was the first contested election. The two party system began to appear with that election, although it was not until 1828 that two national parties began to rule the election system as they do today.

The candidate for the Democratic-Republican Party in the election of 1796 was Thomas Jefferson. He ran against John Adams of the Federalist Party and ultimately became the vice-president after Adams won the presidency.
1796 was the first contested election with two parties running candidates. It was also the first time that a popular president voluntarily gave up his power and stepped aside.
