Democratic Donkey quilt,1936 |
In the 1936 Presidential election, Americans reelected FDR to a second term. This quilt commemorates the President's landslide victory over his opponent, Republican Alfred M. Landon of Kansas. Embroidered on the stars are the names of the 48 states and the number of electoral votes each cast. The total number won by the President is embroidered in the center, while the number won by Landon appears in the bottom border, between the stars for the only two states that went Republican.
