Story opens Election Night November 7 1876 - Tilden wins and is elected by the peoples vote as their 19th President. Later that evening after Rutherford B Hayes concedes a New York Times Managing Editor, John Reid hatches a scheme to confuse the election results. He wakes the Republican Chairman who is sleeping off a hangover to ask him if he can have his permission to contact states under reconstruction to hold their vote. The Chairman Zack Taylor thinks Reid is crazy but allows him to send telegrams to several party chair leaders to change the outcome and deny Tilden the one electoral college he needs to secure the presidency. Rutherford Hayes had no knowledge of the scheme because he was home in Ohio and Republican Party headquarters was in New York. Hayes finds out after the telegrams are sent and he' was later wired a telegram to stop conceding publicly. The story moves very fast and brings the reader through the process of the dispute and dirty tricks being played by corrupt politicians. Even President Grant who was at the Worlds Fair in PA had no idea what was going on until he returned days later to discover his Secretary of State dispersed Union soldiers to 3 states still under Federal control & reconstruction- SC, FL & LA. This election dispute set Civil Rights for the southern blacks back to pre Civil war time period --not by fault of the Republicans but by fault of Southern Carpetbagger Democrats that wanted to control the south financially. This book reveals the facts of the situation as it happens and focuses on how New York Governor Tilden was under minded by a party he was famous for reforming. His supporters marched in the streets of DC & New York carrying "Tilden or Blood" signs - they were ready to start a second Civil War to protect his duly elected Presidency. To this day historians argue the disputed election. Samuel J Tilden never conceded his Presidency although many modern day authors when writing about the election say he did...to preserve the Hayes legacy. Hayes himself was embarrassed by the actions of his party because he was nicknamed "Your Fraudulency" Hayes during his Inaugural address stated he would serve only this one term and not seek a second term. After you read this book you too will know exactly how the Media, Congress, the U.S. Senate & the Supreme Court corrupted the outcome.
