A fun, fact-filled, comprehensive overview of U.S. election history; this book is a compendium of presidential trivia and features more than 1200 multiple choice questions covering every U.S. presidential election from 1789 to the historic 2016 campaign (through August 2016). More than 50 questions of the 1200 are about 2016 including questions about the candidates, the controversies, the historic milestones, and the strategies that each campaign is using. Which candidate has ties to the Scranton Lace Company? Which candidate's grandfather was a saloon-keeper in the Yukon? Which candidate is descended from Welsh coal miners? Which candidate is descended from Scottish farmers? What states will hold the keys to victory in 2016? For the elections from 2012 all the way back to 1789 there are questions about the candidates, the political parties, the issues, and the results of each election. See which prior elections most resemble 2016 and which ones are radically different. There are also a handful of questions about voting for president in America. Who could vote in 1789? When did former slaves get the right to vote? When did women get the right to vote? This book covers well-known facts as well as obscure ones. Which president was elected to the most terms?
