1860年：亚伯拉罕·林肯当选美国第16任总统，成为首位共和党籍总统。他只获得约40%的普选票，却在选举人票上击败分裂的民主党等三位对手；次年南北战争爆发。
1861年：杰斐逊·戴维斯当选美利坚联盟国（南方邦联）总统。
1869年：美国首场大学校际橄榄球赛在新泽西州新不伦瑞克举行，罗格斯大学以6比4击败新泽西学院（后来的普林斯顿大学）。当时每队25人上场、用圆球、以进球计分，与今日橄榄球大不相同；一周后普林斯顿在回访赛中以8比0扳回一城。
1917年：加拿大军队攻占比利时帕斯尚达尔村，帕斯尚达尔战役接近尾声，这场一战惨烈战役共造成数十万人伤亡。

1999年：澳大利亚全民公投否决改制共和的提案，君主立宪制得以保留。

On This Day, November 6: Lincoln Elected President and the First College Football Game
1860: Abraham Lincoln is elected the 16th president of the United States, the first Republican to win the presidency. He took only about 40 percent of the popular vote but defeated three rivals, including candidates of a divided Democratic Party; the Civil War began the following year.
1861: Jefferson Davis is elected president of the Confederate States of America.
1869: Rutgers defeats the College of New Jersey (later Princeton), 6-4, in New Brunswick, New Jersey, in the first intercollegiate American football game. Each side fielded 25 players kicking a round ball for goals, a game far removed from today's football; Princeton won the return match 8-0 a week later.
1917: Canadian troops capture the Belgian village of Passchendaele, bringing one of the First World War's costliest battles toward its end.
1947: Meet the Press debuts on NBC television; it goes on to become the longest-running program in American television history.
1999: Australian voters reject a proposal to become a republic in a national referendum, keeping the constitutional monarchy.
