Pbs Learning Media: Elections 1896 & 1900: Interactive Map: Biography of America

Curated by ACT

This interactive map and video from A Biography of America will help compare how key issues in the elections of 1896 and 1900 influenced geographical patterns in both presidential and congressional election results. Although the elections of 1896 and 1900 featured the same presidential candidates, Republican William McKinley and Democrat William Jennings Bryan, in 1896, the big issue was the monetary standard, while by 1900 imperialism had become the key national issue.
