The American Presidential Election of 1820

The 9th Presidential election in 1820 was unique as James Monroe ran almost unopposed due to his popularity during the Era of Good Feelings. Despite economic challenges from the Panic of 1819 and tensions over the Missouri Compromise, Monroe was widely supported, even by former Federalists. The election saw minimal campaigning, and Monroe won nearly all electoral votes, with only one dissenting vote from William Plumer. The election also marked the first participation of four new states, although Missouri's status was contentious. Monroe secured 80.6% of the popular vote, reflecting a united nation.
