In the aftermath of the Election of 2024, many questions are circulating within our news media and within our minds.  Have political coalitions realigned?  How did one candidate "win" the election, and how did the other candidate "lose" it?  What do Americans really want from their leadership?  And at the core, how much of our present moment might fundamentally change America, and how much is politics as usual? 

Although history cannot answer these questions for our future, it can give instructive examples from our past. Join Sagamore Historian Connor Williams for a lecture and conversation on what our nation's past elections can teach us about its present and future ones.  

This is a non-partisan event: Connor's remarks will be grounded in the past, and presented apolitically--in all aspects, this event is intended to learn from history, rather than politicize it.
