400 Years of American Elections
A fun and informative visual history—and a reminder to do your civic duty!
This little volume is a visual history of U.S. electoral politics, starting with the earliest representative assemblies in the American colonies and concluding with the 2018 midterms that brought us AOC and the Squad. Through paintings, prints, photographs, and artifacts (including some amusing campaign buttons), it traces the evolution of our unique political culture and the gradual (still ongoing) extension of the franchise to all U.S. citizens eighteen and older. It is the perfect gift for the voters in your life.
