Presidential Election of 1788-89

The Presidential Election of 1788-89 was the first in U.S. history and was held over a twenty-five day period spanning from December 15, 1788 until January 10, 1789. This election like today's modern elections was between two political factions, the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists, but unlike modern elections, the winner of the most electoral votes automatically received all of the popular votes and the Presidency, while the candidate in second place would win the Vice Presidency.
