The fourth election was an important election. So vital for the country, that some called it the Revolution of 1800.
It was a two-candidate rematch between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Remember that John Adams just won from the skin of his teeth in the election before.
Although the results were disputed, Thomas Jefferson became the third president in American history after gaining 73 electoral votes.
