The 1920 Presidential Elections are often considered by historians to be one of the most important Presidential Elections in the history of the nation. It marked the first time since 1853 that someone other then a Democrat or Republic won(omitting Lincoln's as the National Union Party.) After World War One there was a isolationist sentiment in America. Woodrow Wilson had suffered a massive stroke in 1919 and was incapable of moving from his bed. Most public opinion had turned away from him, anyway.

abstract
| - The 1920 Presidential Elections are often considered by historians to be one of the most important Presidential Elections in the history of the nation. It marked the first time since 1853 that someone other then a Democrat or Republic won(omitting Lincoln's as the National Union Party.) After World War One there was a isolationist sentiment in America. Woodrow Wilson had suffered a massive stroke in 1919 and was incapable of moving from his bed. Most public opinion had turned away from him, anyway. Robert M La Follette became the first Progressive candidate to win a Presidential Election. He was the heir to the Progressive Legacy of the last six years. With Roosevelt's death in 1919 there was no one to effectively oppose his dominance inside the party. Eugene Debs had gone to prison for speaking out against the war draft, preventing the Socialist wing of the party from rallying behind him as he had hinted that he had broken with the Progressives.
