History: Run! History of Presidential Elections


Enrichment Adult / Home -
AE 2324 Winter/Spring

Tired of the current political climate? Step back in time and learn how it used to be done. You may be surprised to find that in our early presidential elections, few people were allowed to vote, or that modern smear tactics are tame compared to the old days. Check out the scandals, the upsets and the elections that were actually stolen. Get a handle on the Electoral College, find out how the red state/blue state stuff started, and how religion and ethnicity have affected elections.

Kathy Simmer taught in the St. Paul Public Schools and was very interested in historical research. Upon retirement she began teaching classes on American history topics in several suburbs and for various organizations. She likes to include the details that are often left out of the history books. 

Kathy's portion of the class fee is donated to the Alzheimer's Association or the Fisher Center for Alzheimer's Research.  Thank you.
