[[Thomas Jefferson]] ran against the ardent [[Federalist]], [[Charles C. Pickney]] in the 1804 election. The election was a landslide victory for Jefferson, and began the decreasing power of the Federalists who would never come into great power again. <ref> [[Encyclopedia of Presidents, Thomas Jefferson]], by Jim Hargrove, Children's Press, 1986. </ref>

This was the first election where the President and Vice President were elected separately, after the fiascos that occurred in the previous two elections. Disgraced Vice President [[Aaron Burr]] was replaced on the Jefferson ticket by [[George Clinton]].
