Articles liés à The Vote That Made the President
Présentation de l'éditeur
The Presidential election of 2000 was close, and it was controversial. There were legal battles, political battles, and battles for the support of the people. To some it seemed just this side of anarchy, but few Americans today realize that the election of 1876, slightly more than a decade after the Civil War, was just as controversial, including disputed votes and legal battles --- with fear, hatred and distrust that threatened to plunge the United States into another Civil War. Ultimately, Rutherford B. Hayes was declared the winner, but under circumstances that make the election of 2000 look like a walk in the park. David Dudley Field outlines in this booklet why he believes that one vote decided the Presidency – and that the vote was, to say the least, shady.
