Answer:

It resulted in the election of the first African-American President and it was the first time a woman had been nominated for Vice President.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Presidential Election of 2008 was historically significant for many reasons, two of them was that it was the first time in which an African American man won the presidency: the Democrat nominee Barack Obama, who was serving as U.S. senator from Illinois at the moment. And it was also the first time in which a woman had been nominated as a vice presidential nominee: the Republican Sarah Louise Palin, who was serving as the 9th governor of Alaska.
