Hi all,

Here's a list of all the people who lost (or ran unopposed) in a US presidential race.

What kind of country is this? Clearly one with a one-term informal rule notably broken by Bryan, Dewey, and Stevenson, one in which the Republican Party is a late bloomer, one without a Civil War, perhaps? Or even a Northern secession?

Obviously butterfly genocide, but perhaps interesting to consider.
