Summary and Conclusion • 1830-1930 • Economic growth: especially after 1900 • Economic crises: big one in 1929 • Political crises: party systems rise and fall • Using NGHIS and ICPSR we can analyze these economic and political effects on whatever we wish to explain (e.g., terrorism) • Or we can just look at the pictures (which are interesting)

Online Sources for Election Maps • http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/showelection.php?year=1824 • http://www.historycentral.com/elections/ • Both of these are readily accessible and easy to use, but they do contain some errors. Even the ICPSR data should be used with care • Next year: 1948-2008 or 1892-1912: for another partisan shift
