In 1789, the first presidential election, George Washington was unanimously elected president of the United States. With 69 electoral votes, Washington won the support of each participating elector. No other president since has come into office with a universal mandate to lead.
Between December 15, 1788 and January 10, 1789, the presidential electors were chosen in each of the states. On February 4, 1789, the Electoral College convened. Ten states cast electoral votes: Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Virginia. New York, however, failed to field a slate of electors. North Carolina and Rhode Island were unable to participate because they had not yet ratified the Constitution. After a quorum was finally established, the Congress counted and certified the electoral vote count on April 6.
Answer:
Davy Crockett was a backwoodsman from Tennessee. His skill as a hunter and storyteller helped get him elected to three terms in Congress. But when he started his first
political campaign, Crockett was doubtful about his chances of winning. “The thought
of having to make a speech made my knees feel mighty weak and set my heart to fluttering.” Fortunately for Crockett, the other candidates spoke all day and tired out the
audience. “When they were all done,” Crockett boasted, “I got up and told some laughable story, and quit. . . . I went home, and didn’t go back again till after the election was
over.” In the end, Crockett won the election by a wide margin.
