Elections are run by the states and by local governments not the national government. As such, the decision on whether to proceed with an election on its scheduled day is made by the state and local governments. On rare occasions (mostly natural disaster), an election has had to be postponed in one or more counties or a state for several weeks.
Even in the Civil War, the majority of states held the election as scheduled. Those states under control of rebel governments did not; so the election was decided by those states not participating in the rebellion.
Even during the Civil War, Lincoln had to run for reelection in 1864.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
