In Pennsylvania, Federalists and Republicans battled to elect supporters for the state legislature so that they could control the selection of presidential electors. In just six politically charged years, the coalition of radicals, conservatives, former Whigs, Free Soilers and Know-Nothings, anti-slavery Democrats, nativists and foreigners, were able to form a cohesive party. The President’s House was unfinished (Benjamin Latrobe’s plan to complete the main floor was done in 1807) and Abigail Adams expressed her fear in this letter that moving into an unfinished house “would prove his death.”Bookmark this item: //www.loc.gov/exhibits/creating-the-united-states/election-of-1800.html#obj1Within a decade of deciding to move the new federal capital to the banks of the Potomac River, the city of Washington, District of Columbia began to emerge out of partisan politics and a tidal marsh.

On July 6, 1854, a crowd that numbered as high as 10,000, crowded into Jackson, Michigan in what has often been considered the founding of the Republican Party. George Washington selected the site and in 1791 chose Pierre L’Enfant (1754–1825), a French engineer and veteran of the American Revolution, to design the new city.The manner of electing a national president sparked one of the most contentious debates at the federal Constitutional Convention.  The convention rejected direct election of the president by “the people,” in favor of a system of electors equal to the number of senators and representatives and to be chosen by the states.

Republicans and Federalists distributed lists of electors to help voters to select their electors.

Designed to insulate the electors from undue influence, the system required that they cast independent votes for president and vice president.During the presidential campaign of 1800, critics accused President John Adams of rushing to move the capital to the federal district on the Potomac River to court votes from the southern states.
