After sixteen years out of power, the Republicans are hoping to finally reclaim the White House. There are five main candidates, a number of them notable for their service in the military, mostly during the Reconstruction era. As well, John Sherman, one of the nation's great legislators, and Frederick Douglass, the former Vice President and civil rights activist, are candidates.

Again, remember the fact that the Civil War happened 12 years early ITTL. Harrison and Gresham could have been veterans, but being very young adults at the time, certainly weren't officers. Alger was too young to serve at all.

EDIT: Voted for Harrison, but Sherm

I've modified it to state "Reconstruction era".
