Teddy Roosevelt, Progressive, 1912 (88 Electoral votes)
In the 1912 U.S. Presidential elections, former President Teddy Roosevelt emerged as the most successful third party presidential candidate in the history of the country when he bagged 88 Electoral votes and 27% of the popular vote in the election on behalf of the Progressive Party of the United States. The party was formed by Roosevelt himself when he failed to receive the nomination from the Republican Party in the 1912 Elections. However, Roosevelt lost, and the election was won by the Democratic Party's nominee, Woodrow Wilson, who went on to become the 28th President of the United States. The 1912 Presidential elections were unique in the fact that this was the last election where a candidate who was neither Republican nor Democrat came second in the election. This occurred as Teddy Roosevelt defeated Republican William Howard Taft and Socialist Eugene Debs.
If I were able to transport myself back in time to the 1700's, I would be in big trouble. Reason being, because I am African-American I would be a slave. Fortunately, I wouldn't be picking cotton, because of my skin tone, but I would most likely work in the kitchen, or in the house. So life would definitely change for me, but not for better. I wouldn't be able to choose what I wore, what I said, who my master was, or who I married. Not to mention I definitely wouldn't be able to decide to keep my children. They would be sold off as slaves, at a very young age. For these numerous reasons, I choose to stay in the 21st century.
