The Election of 1800

Here is what a campaign commercial might have looked like (if they had TV then) for the bitter presidential election of 1800 between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. The song used in the commercial is from the musical Les Miserables, which is set during the French Revolution (that was supported by Jefferson).

I was the original creator of this video and i was thrilled to see that you have linked to it. It was intended to be used as a campaign video for a mock Election that our social studies class held. Glad to see that I was able to help out with the students at North Praire as well as my home school.
