1820
Lesson plan.
James Monroe vs John Quincy Adams — Monroe ran virtually unopposed as the only significant candidate, winning all but one electoral vote in the height of the 'Era of Good Feelings.' Elector William Plumer of New Hampshire cast his presidential ballot for John Quincy Adams, reportedly either in protest or to preserve Washington's record as the only unanimously elected president. Three other electors died before voting. This was the last election before the Democratic-Republican Party fractured into competing factions.
