The election of 1866 was not a Presidential race. Rather it was a midterm election that refreshed the United States Congress.

The person who won the 1864 presidential election was Abraham Lincoln.

Lincoln's opponent in the 1864 presidential election was none other than his long time rival Stephan Douglas. Up until election day Lincoln and much of the country had assumed his failure for re-election.

George Washington won the first presidential election in 1789. The 2008 presidential election was the 56th presidential election in the United States.

The United States presidential election of 1789 was the first presidential election in the United States of America, and was the only one to not take place in an even numbered year.
