History of U.S. Elections Discontent

 For more than 230 years since its founding, the U.S. presidential election has been a history of peaceful transfer of power. The president's oath of office, in which he raises his hand to the Bible as a symbol of solemn U.S. democracy, and the losers' acceptance speeches are cited.

This tradition has become an irresistible unwritten rule in the wake of the Civil War, which killed 620,000 people in the United States. When Abraham Lincoln, who proposed abolition of slavery in the 1860 presidential election, won, Democratic candidate Steven Douglas declared his acceptance, saying, "Let's put down all partisan interests." But Douglas said in a campaign that he would "not accept the insult of President Lincoln's inauguration" to his southern supporters. The U.S. has become a bloodbath for four years due to the civil war caused by the uprising of the South Korean military, which was already instigated by the message of dissatisfaction.

The number of people killed in the Civil War was higher than that of those killed in World War I and II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
