...love the soundtrack, nice job!

[@GokufanPoland]

As a Polish citizen I'm really jealous for Your continuity of constitution, law, and the republic. 19 years after the USA gained independence my country was beaten and it disappeared. But before this happened we had a Constitution, that gave us hope for a modern country just like the states. After this we had... (not counting the 1st one) - 6 constitutions, Duchy, Kingdom, Occupation, Republic, Occupation, Communist Government, and now the Republic again... Now I hope that Poland will have a calm and bright future. Absolutely love the USA, I hope it will be strong forever, and that it will guard the democracy and freedom in the whole world!

[@olwhatsherrrname]

could you post a link to the Royal Philharmonic performance of this?

[@TailsTube]

Very cool video, it sure puts into perspective how young our nation is. I especially love the music.

[@timeWaster76]

n the United States presidential election of 1824, John Quincy Adams was elected President on February 9, 1825, after the election was decided by the House of Representatives.

[@bahamiangreek101]

Great video.

[@EyeOfHoruss]

i really liked this, good job

[@anthonygraziano6578]

1789-2012 Mitt vs.Obama can you put that in?

[@Sheeeeeenful]

the guy who wins the popular vote of the state win the electoral college of that same state so in effect the vote of individuals determines who win the electoral college...

[@AGSWDLT]

Nice video

[@TailsTube]

Hey, what's the name of the medley you used in this video?

[@grovergarver3104]

Interesting argument although I believe it be incorrect. Mr. Hanson's title was "President of the United States in Congress Assembled" and that's not the same thing as simply "President of the United States." I will agree, however, that Mr. Hanson was our nation's first chief executive.

[@CKY12594]

FDR was the best president of all times

[@olwhatsherrrname]

Who plays the music?

[@hd150]

lol the IM NOT A CROOK guy came back year later and one

[@DarthJanice]

America!

[@garycorfitzson7425]

Disregard the "Monroe Doctrine" comment; at the same time I typed this I was also doing some adjacent work and did an erroneous cut and paste.

[@jake118533]

YAY united airlines theme!!!!

[@210SASXYZ]

Heavy Weght Champion here 2:25

[@boss180888]

how did roosevelt make 4 turns?

[@AntiMatter3000]

I've heard people use either or.

[@MrCaome]

nice democracy you got there 3:34

[@zuko5047]

No we live in a constitutional republic......

[@grovergarver3104]

No, what is today the Democratic Party (the party of Thomas Jefferson) was initially called "Republican" but that got changed later. It has nothing to do with the current Republican Party which dates back to Abraham Lincoln.

[@grovergarver3104]

The popular vote is what elects the electors. It is far more than just show.

[@TheMangoDeluxe]

Amazing to look back at a democratic South!

[@bonncaruso]

Nice video. The sparse popular vote notes you make from 1800-1820 are not necessarily. No popular vote was used for consideration in the EC until the contested election of 1824.

[@vgcq02]

@MrCaome that one hurt he democrats the most.

[@green25459]

U played the confederate national anthem in the middle

[@James--Parker]

2:57 and that's what happens when you nominate a libertarian.

[@garycorfitzson7425]

Good video. A couple of things come to mind watching it. Notice how popular Richard Nixon was in 1972 when his presidency was being defined by his accomplishments rather than Watergate. Notice too that in the election of 2000 democratic candidate Al Gore didn’t even carry his own state of Tennessee. And one correction to the video, John Quincy Adams defeated Andrew Jackson in 1824 (decided by the House of Representatives), President from 1825-1829 thus setting the stage for the Monroe Doctrine.

[@boss180888]

thanks, didn't know

[@RyanTheIncredible882]

John Hanson was our first president under the Articles of Confederation from 1781 to 1789.

[@WNYmathGuy]

Sweet! I had the desire to do something like this, but didn't have the ability. I was thinking of having a shape of Congress and the Senate too where the Congress seats didn't change their individual size as more seats are required.

[@phoenix21studios]

odd how things have changed, we almost cant imagine the west cost voting Red or Texas voting blue.

[@RPGaddictC]

and at 0:38

[@pat02537]

Lincoln was technically a Republican...

[@MrCaome]

it seems wierd to me (im swedish) that invididual votes are not worth the same.

[@Silidons91]

the electoral college can vote for the opposite person, the popular vote is more or less for show

[@Kegruer012]

Barack Obama Reelect This Year :)

[@olwhatsherrrname]

nvm sorry

[@waffens123]

So the republican party and the democrat party were once the same party and then split or what ?

[@gothicfan51]

Well, USA is not a democracy like Sweden or UK(I know it is a monarchy but the government is democratic-based.) Which means that there is a different voting regulations. I agree that it isn't fair but we cannot do anything about it.

[@moloko5]

Says something that you come here to comment on a video about our elections where nobody will ever go comment on a video regarding your home of who-cares-istan

[@wizarddragon]

because the 22nd amendment didnt exist then

[@SeiHikariSentai]

*headdesk*

[@StayPunky]

Franklin Roosevelt's victory was a freaking landslide damn... well of course, Herbert Hoover sucked

[@darkbriggs]

[@Noahshollow]
