1888–89 United States Senate elections
Okay kiddo, so every now and then in the United States, people vote to choose who they want to be their leaders in the government. In 1888 and 1889, it was time to vote for some new people to be Senators.
Senators are the people who work in the Senate, which is a big group of important people who help make the laws in our country. The Senate is like a big puzzle where each state gets to send two people to represent them.
During these elections, some of the states had to choose new Senators because the ones they had before were done with their job. So the people in those states had to go and vote for someone new to take their place.
It was a really important and exciting time because whoever won the election would get to make really big decisions that could affect a lot of people in the United States. So, even though it might seem like a small thing, these elections were a really big deal because they helped decide who gets to make important choices for our country.
