Today is December 1: What is about this day in history?

Can you believe it is already December? Where did the year go?

On this date in: 1824
The House of Representatives convened to decide the
presidential election because no candidate had received a majority in the
Electoral College. John Quincy Adams was eventually chosen the winner over
Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay.
