United States House of Representatives elections, 1808

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The U.S. House election, 1808 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1808.

Although Democratic-Republicans maintained control of the presidency (under James Madison) and Congress, Federalists made gains in the House, mainly due to the unpopularity of the Embargo Act of 1807. As a result, voters in New England, who had ties to the shipping industry, overwhelmingly chose to send Federalists to Washington.
