INSTANT HISTORY
By Chuck Ross
This is the seventh in our series
on Presidential elections, con
cerning the election of 1812.
These were troubled times for
our young country, troubles
which could culminate in the
events described below.
The Seventh Election (1812)
Madison is considered by some
historians to have been .a
perceptive, but indecisive Presi
dent. Perhaps this is so, but he
would make a vital decision just
prior to the election.
(1) What was this decision and
how did it impact on the election?
(2) Who were the candidates,
and how did the voting go?
(3) What was unique about the
opposition candidate?
(4) Eighteen states took part in
the election with Louisiana
becoming the latest addition.
However, Pennsylvania was to be
the key state. Why?
(5) Who were the “War
Hawks’’, and how did they
influence the electon?
Answers
(1) The decision was war with
England, and it gave the election
to Madison. Fed up with the
disregard of American neutrality
by both France and England, a
continuing grievance since the
time of John Adams, the country
wanted war. Part of the decision
was why not war with France as
well? Aside from the obvious
disadvantage of grabbling two
tigers by the tail, Henry Clay
summed it up: “The one we can
strike (in Canada), the other we
cannot reach.”
(2) It was a close election.
Madison and his running mate,
Elbridge Gerry, received 128 and
131 electorial votes, respectively,
to 89 and 86 for DeWitt Clinton
and Jared Ingersoll.
(3) Clinton, nephew of the late
Vice-President, George Clinton,
was a coalition candidate. A
Republican, he was indorsed by
his own state of New York and
supported by the Federalists. It
17, 1980
was the first open breach within
the Democratic Republican
party.
(4) Madison was supported by
the South and West, Clinton by
New England and New York.
Therefore, within the sectional
split, the pivotal middle state was
Pennsylvania. Had Clinton car
ried Pennsylvania, he would have
won. But, Madison secured those
25 electoral votes and the
Presidency.
(5) Although the term applied
(and still does) generally to any
who favored strong measures
over compromise, the original
“War Hawks” were the young,
vigorous members of the House
of Representatives from the
South and West. Men like John C.
Calhoun (29) of South Carolina
and Henry Clay (34) of Kentucky
controlled Congress and stirred
the imagination and support of
the country for their demands
that Britain and France respect
the rights of the United States.

HEALTH WATCH
By N. C. Medical Society
On the average, an adult has
five or six quarts of blood
circulating throughout his body.
However, when injured, the loss
of even two or three pints can
cause shock and lead to death.
What is the best way of
stopping severe bleeding from a
wound? The easiest, quickest and
safest way is to apply direct
pressure. This can be done by
pressing a cloth pad directly on
the wound, covering the area of
bleeding. If no clean cloth is
available, paper or even a bare
hand may be used.
The use of a tourniquet by an
untrained person is discouraged
because the tourniquet complete
ly cuts off the blood supply.
Improperly used, it can result in
the loss of a limb.

the hand and the flat area of the

fingers should be applied on the
pad, which should not be lifted
until help arrives. New pads can
be added as the previous pads
become soaked with blood.
If pressure and elevation of the
wound fail to stop the bleeding of
a limb, pressure should be
applied to the limb’s main artery.
If it is an arm wound, the flat part
of the fingers should be pressed
half way between the armpit and
the elbow in the inside of the arm
between the biceps and triceps.
This procedure forces the artery
against the underlying bone.
Stopping the bleeding.
If the injury is on the leg, the
victim should be placed on his
back. With the heel of the hand on
top of the thigh, pressure can be
applied to force the artery
against the pelvic bone and
reduce the flow of blood.
Bleeding from the head poses
special problems since any
pressure may force bone frag
ments into the brain if a skull
fracture were present. Because
of this, only light pressure should
be used on head wounds.
In any emergency situation the
prompt use of first aid in this
manner can be very important to
the accident victim until well
trained medical help is obtained.
