Why should people vote for Harold godwinson?
Harold was the most powerful man in Saxon England, it was through his support that Edward the Confessor gained the crown after the line of Cnut ended childless.
Harold had supported Edward over the son of his half brother who had been deposed by the Danish rule. The rival Saxon claimant was the 13 year old grandson of this last Saxon king who had lived in exile with his father in the lands of William of Normandy.
Saxon society was fairly democratic for the early middle ages. The King would appoint his successor but the Saxon tradition was that leaders needed to be supported by election. Even the Holy Roman Emperor was subject to that lore.
Harold was not of Royal blood but he had arranged the marriage of his sister to the king and if the crown was to remain Saxon, he was the the man to keep it.
However the Danes had ideas of their own.

What was teenage life like in the early 1900s?
It was very difficult living in the 1900s. Most teens didn't go to school but helped their parents on the farm or mills. If they did go to school they went to a crowded and unwealthy school. Only the rich and wealthy had a good life. Very few had good transportation and many families had to resort to walking. Your life today is much more survivable than back in the early 1900s.
