In other trivia, the accordion and the lawnmower were patented within a year of each other.

I'm not sure about that, as the Union had a series of wins in the battlefield near election time, which would have lent more people to vote for the Union ticket.

But the vast majority of my understanding of American history lies after the War was decided, so I'm still piecing together my own history of the early formation of the country.
