The United States presidential election of 1924 was held in the United States against a backdrop of rising prosperity and drop in tensions with the Confederate States, as well as a failed uprising against US forces occupying Canada. Socialist president Upton Sinclair was easily reelected over the Democratic candidate. It was also the first presidential election in US history in which women all across the country could vote, though in some states, such as Ohio, a presidential candidate was the only candidate on the ballot they could vote for.
