As we head into another election year, how might students use this map to analyze presidential elections, political parties and how the different geographic parts of the country voted?
A close look at the Explanation section, you can see how different political parties fared in each state by the coloring of the map. What significance does the immigration data have on the elections?
How does the information on miles of railroads impact an election? Why was that data included? What other details do you find curious? Why might the map maker included it?
Teachers may want to use this map with the following Hart-Bolton American History suffrage maps:
Compare and contrast the information from all three of these maps to get a better picture of who was allowed to vote, how that changed over time and how that may have impacted the elections in the past. How might these same factors impact the election in 2024?
