Tilden, because the post-Civil War Republican Party failed in Reconstruction and did everything possible to ruin the South even more instead of bringing it back into the national economy.

I probably would have supported land grants to the railroads, but the above issue was the most pressing and would have decided my vote.

That was interesting info on the 2 parties in 1876, A18.

I'd vote for Hayes, since I would have been a Republican on Civil War/Reconstruction issues and I loathe the Mormon Church. But I always thought Tilden should have won, since as a Democrat in 2000 I know what its like to see an election get stolen.

You hate Mormons?  Do you realize that your Senate Minority Leader is a Mormon?
