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. 莱克星顿，美国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. 民主党和共和党民主党是由第七任美国总统安德鲁· 杰克逊创建，但它的起源最早可以追溯至托马斯· 杰斐逊于1792 年创立的民主– 共和党。民主党以新政结合的政策主导了美国政府的政策一直到20 世纪60 年代的民权运动。共和党创立于1854 年，是由一群前辉格党党员、北方民主党人以及奴隶解放运动者所组成的联盟，他们反对奴隶制度的扩张，并主张应该将美国现代化，其创立的动机是为了对抗当时的奴隶主势力——亦即当时那些试图控制联邦政府并扩张奴隶制度的南方富有阶级。
