My Massachusetts dataset is available from the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research. Click here on ICPSR Study No: 8242 cited as "ELECTORAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC DATA, 1848-1876:
MASSACHUSETTS (Computer file)." The collection contains electoral and demographic data for Massachusetts counties and cities during 1848-1876. The data for
this collection were compiled to study electoral changes in the state's politics during the Civil War period and to link the
changes to socioeconomic determinants of support for the Republican and Democratic parties. The dataset includes
official election
returns and comparable data from the Massachusetts state censuses, Massachusetts General Court reports,
and the Archives of the
Secretary of the Commonwealth. There are 367 cases and 31
records per case with a logical record length of 80.
