Notes:
1. Lexington: is the second-largest city in Kentucky and the 61st largest in the U.S., known as the “Horse Capital of the World.” Lexington was founded in June, 1775, in what was then Fincastle County, Virginia, 17 years before Kentucky became a state. 萊克星頓，美國(guó)肯塔基州的第二大城市，建于1775 年6 月。
2. Democrats and Republicans: The Democratic Party, one of the two major political parties in the U.S., traces its history back to the Democratic Republican Party (1792) of Thomas Jefferson who favored popular control of the government. Following the inauguration of Andrew Jackson in 1828, the party’s base was broadened, with representation from the new West as well as the East. Jackson was praised as a man of the people, and his administration marked the beginning of the period of dominance for the Democrats that only ended with the election in 1860 of Abraham Lincoln, the first successful candidate of the new Republican Party. The slavery controversy and the Civil War split the party into northern and southern selection. The Republican Party is the other major political party of the U.S. It was founded in 1854 by dissidents of the Whig, Democratic and Free Soil Parties to unify the growing antislavery forces.The Republic Party remained dominant in U.S. politics, winning 14 out of 18 presidential elections between 1860 and 1932. 民主黨和共和黨民主黨是由第七任美國(guó)總統(tǒng)安德魯· 杰克遜創(chuàng)建，但它的起源最早可以追溯至托馬斯· 杰斐遜于1792 年創(chuàng)立的民主– 共和黨。民主黨以新政結(jié)合的政策主導(dǎo)了美國(guó)政府的政策一直到20 世紀(jì)60 年代的民權(quán)運(yùn)動(dòng)。共和黨創(chuàng)立于1854 年，是由一群前輝格黨黨員、北方民主黨人以及奴隸解放運(yùn)動(dòng)者所組成的聯(lián)盟，他們反對(duì)奴隸制度的擴(kuò)張，并主張應(yīng)該將美國(guó)現(xiàn)代化，其創(chuàng)立的動(dòng)機(jī)是為了對(duì)抗當(dāng)時(shí)的奴隸主勢(shì)力——亦即當(dāng)時(shí)那些試圖控制聯(lián)邦政府并擴(kuò)張奴隸制度的南方富有階級(jí)。
