1801 New York Gubernatorial Election
The 1801 New York gubernatorial election was held in April 1801 to elect the Governor of New York. Former Governor George Clinton returned to office, defeating Federalist Stephen Van Rensselaer. Background Though Federalist John Jay had been elected Governor in 1795 and re-elected easily in 1798, the Jeffersonian Republican Party gained seats in the legislature throughout his term in office.

In 1798, anticipating a Federalist majority, Republicans and eight to ten liberal Federalists introduced a bill to split the state's presidential electors by district, thereby securing some Republican electors in a Federalist-majority state. The bill passed the Assembly but was defeated in the Senate. The Virgi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
