The Fifth Presidential Election was the first Presidential Election after the conclusion of the Second American Civil War. The war saw to it that the nation tore itself apart, and in the end President George Benckendorf and his administration would come out on top, putting him in a great spot for the election.
==Candidates==
======Constitutional Democratic======
The Constitutional Democrats held the incumbency, and re-nominated George Benckendorf unanimously. Benckendorf's original VP William Scott had died in 1802, and the successor had formerly been a Federalist before entering the position, the Constitutional Democrats looked through several different choices including Amo Gus, James Stephensen, Martin Tudor, Theophile Lybaert, John Berkman, and Thomas White; In the end they would instead choose Henry Lee III for the ticket.
===People's Labour===
The People's Labour was newly formed from the Democratic Union Party and the Farmer-Labour Party, forming the People's Labour Party. The party wanted a ticket to represent them, and in the formation of such they chose a relatively unknown journalist from the Freedom Post, Alexander Brown. Additionally they chose former Democratic Union Party Presidential Candidate and former Farmer-Labour Chairman John Tremble for their Vice Presidential Candidate.
=== Democratic-Republican ===
The Democratic-Republican Party was finally re-emerged fully, and was able to nominate a Presidential nominee and keep them for the full election. Thomas Jefferson was once again this candidate, but with this time their Vice President nominee was William Aubrey, a Senator of New York and a People's Labour member, which was an attempt to make fusion ticket which never fully panned out.
=== Dixiecrats ===
The Dixiecrat Party had been on the decline since the Second American Civil War, but this election would do them in. They had nominated Howard Martin, the only Dixiecrat Representative in the nation. For their Vice President nominee they chose William Danton who was a Colonel from Virginia.
=== Patriot ===
The Patriot Party was in a teeter ever since the death of Fring Gus in 1800, and now that the Gus Family was headed by Amo Gus, the radical slavery wing's power diminished severely, but in an effort to ease out tensions, Harry Gus, Amo's Father, negotiated with Patriot Party icon Joseph Brandon. Joseph married Jill Gus, Amo's second cousin, and the moderate and radical slavery wings would even each other out. With the unity the Patriot Party nominated Joseph Brandon for President, along with Daniel Smith, a Patriot Representative from Tennessee.
== Results ==
The Election was a blowout for the Constitutional Democrats, winning in a second landslide. This election would lead to the downfall of the Dixiecrat Party by 1805.
