Both Willkie and Roosevelt promised to keep the United States out of the European conflict.
His supporters would say that he was a bright young candidate that promised hope for making America a better place. A cynic would say that he slipped in because the Republican candidate had to withdraw at the last minute due to a scandal. ( The Republicans did field a candidate by bringing an outsider, but he had no chance.)
The 1868 US election for the presidency was between US Grant as the Republican candidate and New York Governor Horatio Seymour as the Democratic candidate. Seymour had already made it clear during the war what he thought of Republicans and even Abraham Lincoln.Seymour had addressed the 1863 draft rioters in New York City as "friends" and had referred to US President Lincoln as the English king, Charles I. The 1868 campaign was less than " polite", it was a sadly divisive. It turned out to be one racism for starters, not a good sign. Seymour was painted as being a friend of the Ku Klux Klan, and a pro-immigrant anti-American figure. The issue against US Grant revolved around the antisemitism he displayed during his famous Order No. 11 pushing bad salesmen and Jewish ones too out of army camps, which were buying goods from them. Grant prevailed and won the election and promised to mend fences between the two parties and between North and South.
Both parties in 1852 promised to honor the Compromise of 1850 which included a new fugitive slave act designed to ensure the return of runaway slaves and hinder the underground railroad.

The United States presidential election of 1968 was the 46th quadrennial United States presidential election. It was a wrenching national experience, conducted against a backdrop that included the assassination of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. and subsequent race riots across the nation, the assassination of presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy, widespread demonstrations against the Vietnam War across American university and college campuses, and violent confrontations between police and anti-war protesters at the 1968 Democratic National Convention. On November 5, 1968, the Republican nominee, former Vice President Richard Nixon won the election over the Democratic nominee, Vice President Hubert Humphrey. Nixon ran on a campaign that promised to restore "law and order". Some consider the election of 1968 a realigning election that permanently disrupted the New Deal Coalition that had dominated presidential politics for 36 years. It was also the last election in which two opposing candidates were vice-presidents. The election also featured a strong third party effort by former Alabama Governor George Wallace. Because Wallace's campaign promoted segregation, he proved to be a formidable candidate in the South; no third-party candidate has won an entire state's electoral votes since.
THe Southern Democrats were pro-slavery; the Northern Democrats were for popular soveignty in territories and allowing it where it existed. The Constitutional Union Party was against slavery in new territories, but keeping it where it already existed. The Republicans were anti-slavery, but were not abolutionists and did not favor ending slavery slavery in the states that already had it.
