What if the American Republic has created its own antidote to fraudulent elections?Discover how pivotal US presidential contests have sculpted the American Republic, starting with the Revolution of 1800—a heated rivalry between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson that resulted in America's first peaceful transfer of power.

Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden almost tore the nation apart. This election's resolution, the Compromise of 1877, ended Reconstruction and redefined the political climate in the South, laying the groundwork for the era of Jim Crow. We'll also touch on the narrow victory of James A. Garfield in 1880, a contest that highlighted the vulnerabilities of electoral integrity.

Fed up with the scandals of the Grant Administration, Republicans find a new leader in Rutherford B Hayes. To keep the White House Republican, Hayes will have to get the best of a do-gooder Democrat from New York with a reputation for uncompromising honesty: Samuel J Tilden. With the election too close to call, and the country in chaos, Republicans and Democrats in Congress strike a back room bargain that has disastrous consequences for the millions of newly freed Black Americans in the South. *** To listen to the entire series—all 59 episodes—right now and ad-free, become a subscriber at IntoHistory.com, a channel of history podcasts made just for history lovers like you.

This next Prezzy Wezzy Candidate for 1876 has one of the... WILDER stories I've read in a WHILE okay?

About this episode:  Far too many see the Union war effort in the American Civil War as a monolith - patriotic men across the north from Maine to Minnesota, flocking en masse together under national colors - to fight to preserve the Union, and to rid the nation of the hateful institution of slavery. As will be evidenced in this episode, nothing could be farther from the truth. Within the federal union in the summer of 1863, there was war-weariness. Men of influence like New York politician Samuel J. Tilden, and artist/inventor Samuel F.B. Morse dared to call for peace at any price. And it wasn’t only men of power - there were some men and women representing several societal classes who professed pro-southern sentiments. Indeed, New York City had its share of these so-called copperheads. In February of 1863, a development added to their disaffection: the passage of the Enrollment and Conscription Act. A draft. So by the 4th of July that year, with word that R.E. Lee was at the head of a Confederate army in Pennsylvania, and U.S. Grant’s siege dragging on and on down at Vicksburg, Mississippi, not everyone felt like celebrating independence. Too many saw no end to the conflict, and now, men were going to be forced to fight in it. Taken altogether, a cauldron of simmering, seething fuel - all that was needed was a spark, and it came on a Monday, the 13th of July. What followed, still the largest civil and most racially charged urban disturbance in American history. And now, its story. ----more----   Some Characters Mentioned In This Episode:  Samuel J.

大家都知道科罗拉多是在1876的8月1日成为美国的第三十八州，但您知道吗，1876年的11月7日是美国的总统大选，而科州的三张选举人票，竟意外的左右了大选结果。其实科罗拉多领地一直以来都有为成为美国的一州而努力，也因为恰逢总统大选，让原本一直反对科罗拉多加入联邦的民主党籍的国会议员误判形势，认为科州会在大选里支持民主党，而同意让科罗拉多在大选前加入联邦，也意外让科州在这个历史交汇点起到了举足轻重的作用。1876年的大选是一次极具争议性的选举，民主党籍的纽约州州长蒂尔顿（Samuel J. Tilden）的得票率比共和党籍的俄亥俄州州长海斯（Rutherford Birchard Hayes）多了25多万张，只差一张选举人票就达到了185张选举人票的当选门槛，但当时南方的路易西安那（Louisiana），南卡（South Carolina），佛罗里达（Florida），和俄亥俄（Ohio）四州的选举结果有争议，导致一直到1877年总统就任典礼前两天，授权处理此次争议的国会委员会才做出决议，把四州20张的选举人票都划给了海斯，让海斯以185张选举人票击败蒂尔顿的184张选举人票，当选为美国第十九任总统，正因为如此，科州那三张张投给海斯的选举人票显得异常重要，举足轻重的决定了大选的结果。那一年是美国第一次选出了总票数低过参选对手的总统，而委员会里的民主党议员之所以会把选举人票划给海斯，也是因为共和党承诺在海斯当选后会从南部各州撤军，并赋予他们高度的地方自治，让导致内战的黑奴问题功亏一篑，一直拖到六零年代的民权法案（Civil Rights Act）才真的获得解决。而海斯总统和丹佛反华暴动与排华法案的关系我们容后再叙。

We're kicking off the series with the cocktail that I think of as THE cocktail of cocktails...the Manhattan. At the front of the show, Mr. Jason Kruse, our researcher, and I sat and discussed what he discovered while tracking down the origins of the Manhattan. First of all, the Manhattan's claim to fame as the longest unchanged cocktail stands up to the available information. The first version we found is, in fact, the same version served today. Though it has been played with and changed by various bartenders over the years, particularly in its heyday in the late 19th and early 20th centuries (and there are A LOT of variations on this drink), none of those versions stuck as the standard. The most popular year of origin is 1874.  This does not align with what we discovered as the first written recipe for the Manhattan which occurs in 1884.  1874 is not definitively wrong, but there is no evidence for its existence at that time, though, like any trade at the time, the culture and tradition was often passed down through word of mouth, so the Manhattan could have traveled unverified for some time.  The problem with the 1874 date, however, is that it is often attributed with a specific event that launched Samuel J. Tilden's political career which was supposedly attended by Lady Randolph Churchill, Winston Churchill's mother, where she so christened the drink Manhattan. Reliable sources, however, place her in England at the time preparing to give birth to Winston.  So it is decidedly not 1874 for that reason, though possibly 1874 for other reasons. We think it is also noteworthy that the Manhattan does not appear in Jerry Thomas' book in 1864.  His cocktail recipe book was the very first of its kind and featured the growing collection of drinks to be had in American bars at the time.  It is not definitive evidence that the Manhattan wasn't first made before that time, but rather a good indicator and with good evidence otherwise we would certainly accept it. So, we think the cocktail originated around the 1870s and 1880s with the first recorded instance in 1884, previously passed by word of mouth and culture. In this time frame we see better evidence that it was created at the Manhattan Club, a New York gentlemens' club frequented by the political elite. The claim was made by the Manhattan Club's founder, journalist, and chronicler Colonel Henry Watterson. We can accept this explanation if this fact wasn't suspiciously absent from his published history of the Manhattan Club in 1915...seems like a noteworthy item to omit, though, he could have been exercising some degree of political prudence by casually leaving it out in the five years of escalating temperance toward Prohibition. Finally, Jay told us about discovering another origin story published in the Baltimore Sun in 1908 claiming the Manhattan was born of the need for refreshment after a duel in the 1840s. For any others who stumble upon this story...we're pretty sure that it is a complete fabrication. None of the names match up, including a state senator, for which there would definitely be a record. It seems like we came across a 19th century version of the Onion. As a side note for those interested in Manhattan itself -- the word Manhattan is derived from the Native American Lenape words manna-hata which means "island of many hills." Manhattan was sold by its indigenous people for the equivalent of $1,050. The details and personalities are discusses specifically in the show as well as Jay's encounter with a false origin story that began with a duel. The ingredients in the Manhattan are as follows: 2 oz bourbon 1 oz vermouth 2 dashes Angostura bitters Maraschino cherry Our usual hang-out for tasting the cocktails we discuss is The Brixton in Andersonville in Chicago where Michael Donnelly mixes the cocktails and brings his own perspective to the drinks.  I was joined by Rachel, Kevin, Nicole and Bethany, the usual suspects, on this tasting adventure...and we tasted everything. Us newbies to the Manhattan initially thought the drink quite boozy, but then Nicole suggested we try some straight rye whiskey and we all recanted that perspective.  I have to admit, it tasted like what I expected of a classic cocktail with such a long pedigree, basic with no attempt to hide the alcohol, but rather enhance it. Michael was good enough to create two other versions, the Vieux Carre (which we will review in more depth at a later time) and a perfect Manhattan, at Nicole's request, whereupon she learned that she has the taste sensibilities of a 70 year old man.  A perfect Manhattan is one that includes equal parts of both sweet and dry vermouth.  Listen to the show to gather all of our impressions of the three drinks.
