per , ''contra'' Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eliphalet Pond, Jr.. Before 1800, the federal and state governments were minuscule compared to what they would become later, so local governments had out-sized influence in Americans' lives. Fewer than 100,000 white men voted in the 1800 United States presidential election. State and local governments were practically independent, according to the Report of 1800. After the War of 1812, and going into the Era of Good Feelings, the United States government grew exponentially. States also grew larger and started to enforce the idea of separation of powers into their state and local governments at the time. In the 1828_United_States_presidential_election#Results|1828 election 1,148,018 white men voted, 10 times the number who'd voted 28 years prior, a reflection of overall growth in population, immigration and naturalization, the expanding suffrage to White working class men, the Louisiana Purchase, and the greater number and importance of Federal officials. So this article is about a person whose term in office overlapped with this rapidly changing period of American History. I'd delete this one, but keep the ones of those who served their careers in local government earlier
