Summary
Hopefully, you see the differences between elections that occurred 100 years ago and today in 2006. In your research, you saw who could vote. It is definitely different today. Money and ways to get your candidates message out to the public changed dramatically. Viewing what seemed like a more relaxed time period allowed for use of the imagination in trying to image a different outcome in history.
If you would like to explore different issues, all you need is your imagination and information from some web sites like HarpWeek or The Library of Congress.
