Wilson got very little African-American support either in 1912 or 1916. Until the Depression of the 1930s, African Americans (where allowed to vote at all) voted overwhelmingly Republican, for the party of Lincoln and emancipation. Wilson was a Democrat - not to mention being a Southerner by birth.

The exact percentage of African Americans that voted in the 2008 presidential election is unknown. Most believe it is 60-65% of African Americans voted in the 2008 presidential election.
95% of african american voters voted for president Obama...i can't imagine that race had no impact on the election.
helped Ulysses S. Grant and the "party of Lincoln" defeat Horatio Seymour.
not sure
Barack Obama won the Presidential election of 2008. He became the 44th President of the United States and the first African American president of the United States.
Barack Obama won the 2008 US Presidential election defeating McCain 365 to 173 electoral votes.
Some may think that the fact that John McCain is one of the oldest candidates and Barack Obama is the first African-American with a real chance to make it.
