Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr were candidates for president of the United States in 1800. True False

History
1 answer:
Marianna [84]3 years ago
5 0
The answer is: true! Jefferson and Burr were both candidates from the Democratic-Republican Party. This election took place prior to the institution of primaries and thus both Jefferson and Burr went up against the incumbent, John Adams, and Charles Pinckney. At this time, whoever secured the most electoral votes would win and whoever came in second would serve as the Vice President. 

This election took place prior to the passage of the 12th Amendment and thus electors within the Electoral College were able to cast <em>two </em>votes. A plan was hatched to ensure that Jefferson won one more electoral vote than Burr, but the plan was botched. The election then went to the House of Representatives where it was finally decided that Jefferson be president and Burr his vice president.

damaskus [11]

Answer:

A skilled military tactician, he served as a Confederate general under Robert E. Lee in the American Civil War, leading troops at Manassas, Antietam and Fredericksburg. He is remembered today for being a brilliant strategist (his war strategies & tactics are still studied today) and he was one of very few people that were aligned with the Confederacy to hold sympathy for African American slaves. He actually taught Sunday school classes to many slaves, despite this being a direct violation of Virginia law at the time. He was a very respected and feared lieutenant general in the Confederate army and led his troops to various victories against Union armies during the Civil War.
