Modern presidential elections follow a predictable path. But these trail markers that we almost take for granted haven't always existed. In fact, they aren't even mentioned in the Constitution. So how did they come about what precedents have been established by early presidential elections, which still play out in the 21st century? Join me, Greg Jackson from the podcast History That Doesn't Suck, and my co-host Cielle Salazar, as we explore five key elections from early American history, 1800 1824 1828 1860, in 1876.

Delve into the history behind the first American political parties, beginning with John Adams and the Boston Massacre trial.

We continue with Thomas Jefferson’s run-in with British troops in Virginia, and an election that uncovers a major constitutional blindspot.

Step back in time with John Quincy Adams during the Battle of Bunker Hill, and witness an election that puts the Constitution to the test.

The next election brings the Era of Good Feelings to a close, and in this round the gloves come off: Andrew Jackson and John Quincy Adams bring mudslinging into American politics.

See history through the eyes of a young Abraham Lincoln as we discuss the election that ignites the fires of the Civil War.

Two Illinois lawyers present their arguments on human enslavement in the Lincoln Douglas debates, and we discuss whether or not one president has the power to end slavery.

Get to know the story of Chet Arthur, and a surprising election-night vote recount in Florida.

Hear the story of the game-changing Electoral Commission of 1877.
