The Disputed Election of 1876

Washington corruption had been exposed. The Republicans nominated Rutherford B. Hayes who had a pure reputation as a Governor and General. The Democrats chose NY Governor Samuel J. Tilden who helped break up the Tweed Ring in New York City. There was much fraud in this election, on both sides. One month before the inauguration was to occur, Congress created an election commission to decide who had really won The commission had one more Republican than Democrat, and it was determined that the Republican Hayes had won. Less biased observers have determined that Tilden should have been the winner. Democrats were very upset, there were threats of filibusters and marches on Washington.
