    At the end of episode seven, President Ulysses S. Grant declares martial law and wages war against the Ku Klux Klan, a decision that sets the table for the upcoming presidential election. Coming up in episode eight, the story jumps forward in time past the election of 1872.But there is some important history in between. This week, we're again going to fill in those gaps with an episode from the podcast American Elections: Wicked Game. Hosted by 1865 executive producer Lindsay Graham, it's an in-depth look at all 59 U.S. presidential elections. In 1872, the Reform Republicans, properly known as the Liberal Republicans, turned on President Grant, abandoned the Republican Party and united with the Democrats. To defeat Grant at the ballot box, the Democrats nominated a New York newspaperman, a Republican named Horace Greeley. Like he had done in 1868, Grant took his cues from George Washington and stayed silent during the contest. But Horace Greeley launched an aggressive campaign, attacking Grant's policies, assailing his character and accusing him of corruption. Once again, the election was a referendum on Reconstruction: would the American people stand by the Hero of Appomatox? Or would they vote to turn back the clock on social progress? Please enjoy Episode 22 from the podcast American Elections: Wicked Game: 1872, Greeley vs Grant: Progress Under Siege.

    This excerpt comes from the Seizing Freedom episode titled "A Powerful Black Hand." From the start of the Civil War, Black Americans were eager to lend their resources to the Union cause, but the Union was slow on the uptake. Despite their other differences, the North and South remained united in their belief in white supremacy. But when the Union found itself on the back foot, Northerners changed their tune, letting Black men and women join the ranks.That decision shifted the tide of the war, with more than 70% of northern Black men of military age enlisting to fight against the Confederacy. But many whites feared that granting equal access to American freedom might result in retaliation for all the wrongs of slavery. Seizing Freedom is a production of VPM and Witness Docs from Stitcher. It's hosted by Dr. Kidada E. Williams, and produced by Joshua Moore, Ronald Young, Jr., Lushik Wahba, Kelly Jones and Gavin Wright. Sound Design by Jakob Lewis of Great Feeling Studios. Music by Dan Burns. For more information about this series, visit seizingfreedom.com.
