• Source: 1810 Massachusetts gubernatorial election

    • The 1810 Massachusetts gubernatorial election was held on April 2, 1810.
    Incumbent Federalist Governor Christopher Gore was defeated by Democratic-Republican nominee Elbridge Gerry.
    Republicans cast Gore as an ostentatious British-loving Tory who wanted to restore the monarchy (his parents were Loyalists during the Revolution), and Gerry as a patriotic American, while Federalists described Gerry as a "French partizan" and Gore as an honest man devoted to ridding the government of foreign influence. A temporary lessening in the threat of war with Britain aided Gerry.
