Fraud of the century.

Books morris simon schuster paperback maart 2004: The bitter 1876 contest between Ohio Republican Governor Rutherford B. Hayes and New York Democratic Governor Samuel Tilden was the most sensational and corrupt presidential election in American history.

It was also in many ways the final battle of the Civil War. Although Tilden received some 265000 more popular votes than his opponent and needed only one more electoral vote for victory contested returns in three southern states still under Republican-controlled Reconstruction governments ultimately led to Hayess being declared the winner after four tense months of brazen political intrigue and threats of violence that brought armed troops into the streets of the nations capital.

In this major work of popular history and scholarship Roy Morris Jr. takes readers to Philadelphia in Americas centennial year where millions celebrated the nations industrial might and democratic ideals to the nations heartland where Republicans refought the Civil War by waging a cynical bloody shirt campaign to tar the Democrats as the party of disunion and rebellion and finally into the smoke-filled back rooms of Washington D.

C. where the will of the people was thwarted and the newly won rights of four million former slaves were ignored leading to nearly ninety years of legalized segregation in the South.
