Conclusion+and+Further+Reading

Each of these presidents have made their mark on our nation. It is not just about what they did in office, but also how they got their and how the nation has changed. Many have help to increase the size of our nation. In 1781 we were still referred to as "the colonies". By 1861 we have, for the most part, present day borders. We've seen the way in which the election of the president has changed. It went from an office that most did not want, to an office voted on by the people. The way votes were garnered evolved as well. From a time where someone was just selected and a few voted to grand parties and picnics and gimmicks, to solicit votes. It is the hope that this information will provide on with an ability to supplement what they already know as well receive a little more knowledge about past presidencies and the times in which they lived.
