...  How America survived elections even more divisive than the one in 2016, by Jim Weiss

In light of recent events, I am re-listening to this with my children, and I have found it reassuring and a good reminder that our country has been through civil unrest, riots, and refusal to transfer power in the past, and the country as a whole has survived.  
It’s a three part series on the elections of 1800, 1860, and 1968.  Mr. Weiss goes through the historical factors leading up to the controversies surrounding the elections, the elections themselves, and ends with a hopeful message about the resilience of our political system.  It’s very well done and compelling to listen to.

The last two episodes are free on Amazon music plus.  Otherwise, they are on Well-Trained Mind for a few dollars apiece.

Anyway, I just wanted to share in case anyone here is looking for something to relieve anxiety about the election and to view it in the context of the history of our country.  
Take care all![/quote]
