Return to Election Years are Leap Years.
Leap Years
[edit | edit source]In this exercise, we begin to create a timeline, which is initially built on Leap Years. Using the table below, begin with the year 1776 and write down the date of every fourth year until a date is in every cell.
On the surface, we simply have a long list of numbers, but with a few basic facts, we can add meaning and relevance to a list of leap years.
- What year was the Declaration of Independence signed?
- What year was the US Constitution ratified?
- What year was the first US Presidential Election?
- Who was the first US President?
- Which past election years are not actually leap years?
- What election year occurred during the Civil War?
- Who was elected President during the Civil War?
- What year did the Civil War end?
- Who was President when final hostilities ceased?
