United States presidential election, 1872 (view source)
Revision as of 19:30, July 31, 2007
, 19:30, July 31, 2007no edit summary
The Democratic party and liberal Republicans were angered with [[Grant]]'s seeming lack of skill in politics. To oppose him they nominated [[Horace Greely]] as their candidate. The election was bitter and tiring for both candidates. Unfortunately, Greely died during the campaign and thus didn't receive any of the electoral votes. <ref> [[Encyclopedia of Presidents, Ulysses S. Grant]], by Zachary Kent, Children's Press, 1989. </ref>
