US Election of 1812 Map
In 1812, Louisiana was granted statehood so it took part in the 7th presidential election.
DeWitt Clinton took on James Madison for president. The results were close with James Madison barely winning with just over 50% of the popular vote.
Up to this point, it was the closest election in history. But voter turnout was poor, partly because the country was in the War of 1812.
