Important presidential resourcesSome of the most important presidential elections 1812 The election of 1812 consisted of a battle between crowd capital of Wisconsin, and De Witt Clinton. Madison had equal both Democratic and Republican beliefs, darn Clinton was a Federalist. James Madison was born in Port Conway, Va., on March 16, 1751. A Princeton graduate, he joined the struggle for independence on his return to Virginia in 1771. He had been an active politician in the 1770s and 1780s. He was greatly know for championing the Jefferson regenerate program, and in the Continental Congress. Madison, in collaboration, had participated greatly in the, Federalist, a piece of music whos main purpose was to ratify the constitution. Madison first became president in 1809, when he bested Charles C. Pickney. He had led the U.S. in a very unpopular war, in which the U.S. hadnt been prepared for...the fight of 1812. De Witt Clinton was a Federalist, whos main purpose of the election was to get the U.S. out of a war in which he matte was very unnecessary. DeWitt held every major elective office in raw(a) York between 1797 and 1828--assemblyman, senator, mayor of New York City, lieutenant governor, and governor. He was a philanthropist and patron of the arts and science and, as canal commissioner, championed construction of the Erie and Champlain canals. The order in which these candidates received nomination was by the Electoral College, or by King Caucus. The idea of political conventions had not been present at this time. on that point were no third-party candidates in this election. The major issue of this election was the War of 1812. The War of 1812, or Mr. Madisons War, had been very unpopular among different sections of America. Mainly the carry owners in New England. The war was supposed to protect. This war was supposed to encourage their shipping, but instead, it had kept them from trading and making money. The winner of the election of 1812 was James Madison. Madison collected 128 electoral votes, while Clinton received 89, and the number of No Votes Cast was 1. The Vice-presidential candidate, who won the election was Elbridge Gerry, who received 131 electoral votes, while Jared Ingersoll received 86. There was no record of the number of popular votes for this election. My sagaciousness of why Madison had won the election is because he had led the clownish into the War of 1812, and therefore, he should be allowed to fight it.
