This quiz has been made before and published in list format. I thought it would be interesting to see it visually where each answer was color coded. I've left the time high because I realize that there will be a fair amount of scrolling necessary when you get down to the later years.
I've made a few judgment calls. I realize that Washington is often listed as having no party because of his disdain for party politics. In that he consistently took Federalist positions, was supported by Federalists, had a cabinet full of Federalists and was opposed in his second election by the Anti-Federalists, I have listed him here as a Federalist. In the cases where a faithless elector voted for a non-candidate, I have listed that candidate by their party affiliation in the remainder of their political career. Although Lincoln ran on the National Union ticket in border states he was the endorsed Republican candidate in 1864 and is so listed here.
Key: (in order of appearance)
Green: Federalist
Yellow: Anti-Federalist
Orange: Democratic-Republican
Blue: Democratic
Purple: National Republican
Gold: Nullifier
Silver: Anti-Masonic
Brown: Whig
Red: Republican
Pink: Know-Nothing
Tan: Constitutional Union
Aquamarine: Populist
Olive: Bull Moose
Khaki: Progressive
Steel Blue: Dixiecrat
Goldenrod: American Independent
Salmon: Libertarian

Hejman, are the colors supposed to correspond to the party colors? Because I know for a fact that the Libertarians use Gold as their color, while the American Independents did not (they used purple, according to Wikipedia).

No, beyond the fact that I used red for Republicans and blue for Democrats (colors that I think can be traced back to Tim Russert's coverage of the 2000 election) the colors were chosen at random by me and were only meant to be different enough from one another to differentiate the parties. I think of sports teams as having official colors but never really thought of political parties that way.

Big (?) hint for the ones I missed (and the 1908-1916 ones I got): think Supreme Court Justices, especially Chief Justices: John Jay, Iredell, Ellsworth, Rutledge, Taft, Hughes, et al.
