Massachusetts electoral votes on the years of:

2008- Democratic Party

2012- Democratic Party

 There is a significant difference between the elections of the 1800s to the ones in the 2000s, In the 1800 we could notice that the state of  Massachusetts voted in for consecutive years in the Republican Party. After all, in the 2000s election there was a change in votes directed to the Democrats. There is also an interesting fact: the majority of the states of New England all voted for the same party in the same years. Another interesting fact is that every party that the region of New England votes for, is the one that ends up wining the election.

  The short term impacts of oil after the  Hamill brothers drilled for the black gold in the American territory,  was that the price of the oil became cheaper and cars were produced in mass. Oil was so important that it provided fuel. Fuel would be the newest resource to enable Henry Ford develop affordable cars for people to buy. Oil was essential in the process of building the modern world.

Oil is one of the reasons to why we have grown so much in industrialization, which leads to a growth in the economy. Transportation would be somewhat impossible without the discovery of oil, and it also provides us with home heat, which is inevitable for those who live up north.

Election Day

Election Day takes place on the Tuesday right after the first Monday in November. There is not a specific day for this date, however, the earliest day is November 2 and the latest possible is November 8. 

Election Day is a civic holiday in states such as Delaware, Hawaii, Kentucky, Montana, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and West Virginia.

The reason to why Election Day is held on a Tuesdays lies on 19^th-century America. In the 1800s, most Americans worked as farmer and lived far away from their polling location. So Congress decided to establish the voting day on Tuesday due to the fact that weekends were impossible for the farmers to travel because of church and other duties. Wednesdays were also impractical because it was market day for the farmers. This means that the only option Congress had was to set Election Day on a Tuesday.
