Before the 2020 presidential election, historians regarded the contentious 1876 contest, which pitted Republican Rutherford B. Hayes against Democrat Samuel J. Tilden, as the most controversial in American history. Adam Fairclough's book, "Bulldozed and Betrayed: Louisiana and the Stolen Elections of 1876," sheds new light on the events surrounding the electoral crisis, particularly those that occurred in Louisiana, a state singled out for voter intimidation and rampant fraud.
The Potter Committee's inquiry led to embarrassment for Democrats, uncovering an array of bribes, forgeries, and even coded telegrams showing that the Tilden campaign had attempted to buy the presidency. Testimony also exposed the treachery of Hayes, who, once installed in the White House, permitted insurrectionary Democrats to overthrow the Republican government in Louisiana that had risen to power during the early days of Reconstruction.
The book also delves into the political machinations that led to the crisis, including the role of the Supreme Court in resolving the dispute and the impact of the election on the Reconstruction era. Fairclough's meticulous research and analysis provide a fresh perspective on a pivotal moment in American history, challenging the conventional narratives and revealing the complex web of events that shaped the outcome of the 1876 election.
