In the U.S. presidential election of 1808, the (Democratic-)Republican candidate James Madison defeated Federalist candidate Charles Cotesworth Pinckney.
Madison had served as United States Secretary of State under incumbent Thomas Jefferson, and Pinckney had been the unsuccessful Federalist candidate in the election of 1804.
The election was marked by opposition to Jefferson's Embargo Act of 1807, a halt to trade with Europe that disproportionately hurt New England merchants and was perceived as favoring France over Britain.

 Wikinfo John Quincy Adams
The decision in the Presidential Election of 1824 fell, according to the U.S. Constitution, upon the House of Representatives, as none of the candidates had secured a majority of the electors chosen by the States.
He was elected as a Federalist to the United States Senate and served from March 4, 1803, until June 8, 1808, when he resigned, a successor having been elected six months early after Adams broke with the Federalist party.
He was elected to the Massachusetts State Senate in 1802, and was an unsuccessful candidate for election to the U.S. House of Representatives in the same year.

Schulman (2001) obviously believed that U.S. presidential elections over the last 70 years are not typical of all U.S. presidential elections.
Although their formula correctly predicted the winners of the U.S. presidential elections between 1932 and 2000, it did not correctly predict the winners of all the U.S. presidential elections between 1789 and 1928.
Although any of the currently declared Democratic candidates for President could, in theory, win in 2004 if they carefully choose their vice presidential candidates, in practice it would be difficult for many of them to find candidates for Vice President with the right combination of governmental and non-governmental experience.

In short, the campaign and election of 1824 was nothing at all like today's.

 Causes of the Civil War
The crucial point was reached in the presidential election of 1860, in which the Republican candidate, Abraham Lincoln, defeated three opponents—Stephen A. Douglas (Northern Democrat), John C. Breckinridge (Southern Democrat), and John Bell of the Constitutional Union party.
Lincoln's victory was the signal for the secession of South Carolina (Dec. 20, 1860), and that state was followed out of the Union by six other states—Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas.
Hostility between the two sections grew perceptibly after 1820, the year of the Missouri Compromise, which was intended as a permanent solution to the issue in which that hostility was most clearly expressed—the question of the extension or prohibition of slavery in the federal territories of the West.
