“I scarcely ever passed a week under such depression of spirits. […] It is terrible to see the extent to which all classes go in their determination to win. Conscience offers no restraint; nothing is so common as the resort to perjury unless it is violence. In short, I do not know who to believe: if we win, our methods are subject to impeachment for possible fraud; if the enemy wins, it is the same thing exactly. Doubt, suspicion, irritation go with the consequence, whatever it may be.”—Lew Wallace, retired Civil War general, 1876Many people will call out elections in our lifetimes as being particularly divisive, whether it's the 2000 election or the 2020 election. Those were indeed divisive, but very few elections have approached the divisiveness and the chaos unleashed in the United States Presidential Election of 1876, fought between the Democrat Samuel Tilden and the Republican Rutherford B. Hayes, in which the ultimate decision on who would be president was decided by one electoral vote.In this special five year anniversary episode of History Impossible in which we revisit this event only briefly touched upon in the inaugural episode of this entire show, we're joined by Richard Lim of the This American President podcast, who helps shed some light into the details of this contentious election and this absolutely wild period of American history. With the election of 2024 looming large and with everyone's imaginations running wild with how things will turn out, Richard and I thought it might be prudent to not just provide a historical reality check on just how wild things can get, but how Americans were able to extract themselves from such insanity while living through it.Happy five years and here's to five more with History Impossible.For more detailed look at the Election of 1876, check out Richard's episode on that election here.History Impossible has been made possible by the following generous supporters on Patreon, Substack, and PayPal.

In Pennsylvania in 1876 there was a big celebration. A lot had happened in our young country in just 100 years - but women were still not equal. One of the women invited into the VIP area of the event - and not allowed to speak still wanted her presence to be known. So, not only did she write a speech, but she made copies and she and her friends handed them out to those in the crowd. Boom. Now that is a firework.

Bill Mick and Dave get together to talk History! If you believe that 2020 was "unprecedented" or even unusual, then you know literally nothing of US History. In fact, in terms of post election violence (or even pre-election violence) 2001 isn't even in the Top 5. Now, Congressman James Clyburn (the man who saved Biden's Campaign?) has called for Federalizing Elections, saying that elections are "too important to leave to the States." Is Mr. Clyburn correct? Didn't Alexander Hamilton (Happy Birthday!) essentially say just that in his Federalist 59? Or... has he missed the most important part, thus reinforcing several myths about why things are the way they are? At the same time, is is erasing/ignoring history in order to make his point...?

In this segment, I explain how the electoral college deadlines are not set in stone and may not be a factor in this election. Remember, no one alive today has gone through anything like this so the expected result will most likely be different than what the mainstream believes. I decipher a detailed legal examination of the 2020 election from the Thomas More Society to make the point understandable, sensible, and enjoyable. This is amazing First Amendment ammunition for patriots to use against the Leftist ideology!

The most powerful force in the entire universe is not gravity. It is fear. And fear is what drives people who actually do know the truth to instead say, “I know nothing!”

Throughout his Presidency, Hayes battles with Congress became legendary. He believed that an attempt by the Bourbon Democrats to add “riders” to funding bills for the Army, the executive and Judiciary that further eroded voting rights for Black Americans was “revolutionary,” a flat out attempt to undermine the Constitution and the rob the Republican Party of it’s most treasured legacy – ending slavery. Among the Congressmen who stood by him were two of particular note. Though he had long before fallen out with the President, now-Senator roscoe Conklin (R-NY) was bombastic about what the Bourbon Democrats were attempting to do. In the House of Representatives, a thoughtful measured and decorated Union General from Illinois galvanized opposition to the Democrat’s efforts. In a speech which garnered national attention, James A. Garfield (R-IL) said: “… if the President, in the discharge of his duty, shall exercise his plain constitutional right to refuse his consent to this proposed legislation, the Congress will so use its voluntary powers as to destroy the government. This is the proposition… we confront; and we denounce it as revolution.” His stand with the President brought him to the attention of Republicans, who in 1880, on the 36th ballot nominated him for President.

History, they say, is written by the winners. Which could explain how it has come to be that while Americans consistently rank Ruther B. Hayes as one of the lower ends of the “Best Presidents” lists, there is at least one place where he is honored and revered. In fact, if not for President Hayes, that place might not exist at all. Still, part of the reason that we don’t celebrate his accomplishments is because of the success of those who would rewrite history to their own advantage. On the battlefields, they lost. But in the public mind, they won. And only now are we truly beginning to see the damage they wrought on our nation…

In the aftermath of the Election, tensions have risen to the boiling point. Grey uniforms have been dusted off and Confederate Battle Flags are seen fluttering on the breeze. In Washington, a Republican Congressman leads the way to a legislative solution that will please nobody, including his own party. The bill will be passed, but it will take a deal made in a smoke-filled backroom to seal the deal with the Devil. And that Faustian bargain will betray the Freedman and the supreme sacrifice of 300,000 American Soldiers…

There are those who will tell you that “We have never been more divided.” As I have long said, they know nothing of American History. In the summer of 1876, a mere six years since the 15th Amendment had been ratified, a political movement known as the Bourbon Democrats set its sights on repeating their success the previous year in Mississippi. This time their target was South Carolina. In keeping with their ideology, there were absolutely no limits on the lengths to which they would go to restore their power in the State. Their candidate for Governor was one Wade Hampton III, the former Confederate General. Among the first places that an opportunity presented itself to show that they would stop at nothing to terrorize Freedmen took place from July 4-9, 1876, on the banks of the Savannah River. Eight men would lose their lives to political terrorism. With a single exception, they would be all but erased from history. Even when finally officially acknowledged in 2006, their memorial would not be placed where it belonged, but rather in the middle of a park named for a secessionist firebrand. It started with a small parade drill in the dusty streets of Hamburg, SC…

As a Vice President serving under an obscure President, Wheeler is not a common name in history. In fact, his own President Rutherford B. Hayes had to ask the question "Who is William Wheeler?" when his name was in consideration. But as we discuss, perhaps he should be known more. His frankness, disdain for corruption, and love of nature made him a unique and well-liked politician. We speak with Herb C. Hallas, author of William A. Wheeler, Political Star of the North Country on this episode. And we enjoy music from Lee Rosevere and Chris Novembrino. Remember to sign up for the podcast, and give us a review if you would.
The Inauguration of the 19th President was but three days away. The problem was that though the election had been held four month prior, there was little telling who that would have been. New York Governor Samuel Tilden had won the popular vote by over 280,000, he had a clear majority of 50.9% to Ohio Governor Rutherford B. Hayes 47.9%. What’s more is he had to believe that he had edged out his Republican opponent in the Electoral College. He had taken 184 seats, one shy of the majority he needed to be sworn in, compared to Haye’s 165. With 19 out of the 20 electors in question being from the South, Tilden had to believe that he could manage to pick up 1 state before his opponent in that bitterly fought race would take all 20. After all, even if Hayes did take those three states, which seemed unlikely, Oregon Governor LaFayette Grover had given him the vote he needed when he replaced a Republican Elector John Watts with Democrat C.A. Cronin. The truth was that the Democrats had every right to believe that they would win the election. Having had been in political exile since earliest of days of the Civil War, the Panic of 1873 had given them their opening. The next year they would make significant gains in the Senate, but more importantly, for the first time since 1860 they would take the House. By 1876 corruption, scandal and a lagging economy so plagued the Republican Party that many in the party feared that President Ulysses S. Grant would run for a third term, and there was nothing they could do about it. Though the legendary General, having seen his once golden reputation now tarnished by the political arena, would step down, the emergence of the virtually unknown Rutherford B. Hayes as the conventions dark horse, had all but handed the election to Tilden. Had not the charismatic Senator James G. Blaine of Maine not been embroiled in scandal they might have stood a chance. Instead they were straddled with a compromise on the 7th ballot as the Governor who placed 5th on the first two ballots became their candidate. Even as the election turned dirty, even as his opponents tried to tar him as briber, thief and drunken syphilitic Tilden was the man who had gone against the political machine. He was the great reformer who had sent Boss Bill Tweed to prison. No amount of “Waving the Bloody Shirt” was going to distract from the fact that Tilden was the only man to clean up the mess of the previous Republican Administration. Though there was allegations of fraud and intimidation, with South Carolina, for example, reporting 101% voter turnout of all eligible voters while African-American votes more likely to be Republican than Democrat were suppressed, it was a bump in the road. He had little doubt that the newly appointed 15 Member Election Commission, selected by Congress to resolve the issue when the College could not name a clear winner, would undoubtedly give him the final legitimacy he needed. It would take until March 2nd, 1877 but finally it had been decided by the 8 Republicans and 7 Democrats who comprised the Commission. Though Associate Justice Joseph P. Bradley, a Republican, had indicated that he would vote to award Florida to Tilden the night before, the end vote would be right along party lines, and, without a majority of both the House and Senate, it was finalized. As he travelled to Washington by train, Rutherford B. Hayes was informed that he had secured the 20 electoral seats necessary to defeat Governor Tilden by a single vote in the College. By the narrowest of majorities, the election had been decided with Louisiana, South Carolina, Florida, and that third vote from Oregon going to Hayes to give him a single seat edge over the more popular Tilden. For the first time in history the nation would have a President who lost the popular vote but won the Electoral College. The Democrat controlled House would filibuster to prevent the results from becoming official, knowing that it needed to be finalized by the 4th or interregnum would occur as the normal functions of government would be suspended. It would take the compromise of 1877 to eventually resolve the issue, with Hayes agreeing to appoint a Democrat as the Post-Master General, and to remove all Federal Troops from Government Buildings in Louisiana, Florida and South Carolina, ending Reconstruction. Though Republicans would celebrate, with papers like the New York Times declaring, “Indeed, some of them go so far as to say that no matter what may come, the country is well rid of the pretender Tilden. For that person no one has a good word.” many Democrats would not, dubbing Hayes as “His Fraudulency” and “The Usurper”. In many senses he would never be their President. Four years later he would not subject himself to another election, reaffirming his commitment to a single term as he stepped aside for James Garfield. Tilden would go to the grave in 1886 believing he had been robbed what was rightfully his by the “Boss Thief”, declaring, “ I can retire to public life with the consciousness that I shall receive from posterity the credit of having been elected to the highest position in the gift of the people without any of the cares and responsibilities of the office.”
