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，美國肯塔基州的第二大城市，建於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總統安德魯· 傑克遜創建，但它的起源最早可以追溯至托馬斯· 傑斐遜於1792 年創立的民主– 共和黨。民主黨以新政結合的政策主導了美國政府的政策一直到20 世紀60 年代的民權運動。共和黨創立於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動者所組成的聯盟，他們反對奴隸制度的擴張，並主張應該將美國現代化，其創立的動機是為了對抗當時的奴隸主勢力——亦即當時那些試圖控制聯邦政府並擴張奴隸制度的南方富有階級。
