    As we get closer to the Election of 2024, looking back at past campaigns and elections can help students see patterns and similarities to today.

    Political Chart of the United States: Shewing the Progress, Reform or Sober Second Thoughts of the People compares the 1836 election of Martin Van Buren, the former Vice President over Benjamin Harrison with the 1840 election of Benjamin Harrison over Martin Van Buren.  How many states were consistent from one election to the next?  How many flipped?  Research the social climate of the time and the issues facing the country and the candidates in 1836 and 1840. Students could compare the 2016 and 2020 elections and make predictions about the outcome in 2024.

    Please share other thoughts and ideas.
