À propos de cet audio

In 1876, Rutherford B. Hayes, the Republican candidate, won the presidential election against Democrat Samuel J. Tilden. The outcome, however, was one of the most controversial in U.S. history because Tilden won the popular vote and the result of declaring Hayes as the winner was only finalized after months of dispute, earning the accolade of “the Fraud of the Century” by Tilden’s supporters and some historians.

In this podcast episode, host Hon. Helen E. Freedman is joined by Author Roy Morris, Jr., Professor Manisha Sinha, and Jerry Goldfeder, Esq., to unpack the facts and drama of the 1876 election, explore the political climate of the era, and draw thought-provoking connections to more recent national elections.
