What was the main result of the 1860 election?

Answer 1

Slavery was the major issue in the 1860 election. The Republican Party platform promised not to interfere with slavery in the states, but opposed the further extension of slavery into the territories. Republican Party candidate Abraham Lincoln won the 1860 presidential election defeating John Breckinridge, John Bell and Stephen Douglas. Abraham Lincoln received 180 electoral votes from 18 of the 33 states. Abraham Lincoln did not receive electoral votes from any southern state. Lincoln was not on the ballot in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas declared its secession from the United States following the November 1860 election of Republican candidate Abraham Lincoln to the U.S. presidency. The Civil War began with the Confederate attack upon Fort Sumter on April 12, 1861, a Union fort in the harbor of Charleston, South Carolina. After the Civil War began in April, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina also declared their secession and joined the Confederacy.

The significant outcome of the presidential election of 1876 was that it

Answer 3

Before the electionAgainst a backdrop of the tumultuous era of Reconstruction, a deep economic depression, and scandal surrounding the incumbent administration of Republican Ulysses S. Grant, the Democratic Party nominated popular New York governor and reformer Samuel Tilden and Indiana politician Thomas Hendricks for its presidential ticket in the 1876 election. The Republicans nominated war veteran and three-term Ohio governor Rutherford B. Hayes as their presidential candidate and U.S. representative William Wheeler of New York as Hayes's running mate. Deciding who won the electionWhen the election was over, Tilden had won the popular vote by a thin margin, and gained 184 undisputed electoral votes (just one vote short of a majority) to Hayes's 166. However, late on election night, electoral-vote ballots totaling 19 electoral votes were contested in three southern states-Louisiana, South Carolina, and Florida-all of which were strongly divided between whites and recently enfranchised blacks. In addition, 1 electoral vote from Oregon was in question. In a true historical anomaly, electors from each of the southern states submitted two sets of electoral ballots: one for Hayes and one for Tilden. Democratic-controlled local administrators had Tilden as the winner, while Republican federal officials in the states had Hayes as the winner.

After extended partisan debate and discussion, during which both parties were accused of using forms of fraud, intimidation, and violence to gain the popular-vote edge, a special fifteen-member congressional electoral commission was set up to determine which set of electoral votes from the contested Southern states would be counted and accepted. The commission decided-by one vote in each case-to honor Hayes's electoral votes from all three states. In addition, the Commission also awarded Hayes the disputed Oregon vote. Hayes claimed the presidency with a total of 185 electoral votes to Tilden's 184, even though Tilden won the popular vote by 3 percent (4.3 million to Hayes's 4 million). Historians generally agree that two of the three disputed states were really won by Tilden, but that the Republican-heavy electoral commission awarded Hayes all the disputed states.

After Hayes became PresidentOnce president, Hayes pacified the outraged Democrats by ending military occupation in the South and the Reconstruction Era. In addition, he appointed one Southern Democrat to his cabinet. Nevertheless, the election was called "the great fraud of 1876-1877" by the Democratic Party. Others called the electoral commission's vote the Compromise of 1877, believing Hayes's victory came with the provision that he would end federal occupation in the South.
How about I answer this with another question.

What didn't resolve the election controversy of 1876?

Whose not to say that there ever was an election controversy?

Was there even an election in 1876?

Were the candidates really Hayes and Tilden?

Did we even have a president then?

Whose not to say we're all zombies?

Boobies.

Answer 4

The main result of this election between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden was the end of post-Civil War Reconstruction in the South. The Compromise of 1877 removed Federal troops from the South in exchange for their concession of the election to Hayes.

Answer 5

The United States presidential election of 1876 was between candidates Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden. The outcome was controversial as the race was extremely tight. Although Tilden received the greater percentage of the popular vote, Hayes won the election with one more electoral vote than Tilden.

Answer 6

the main result was that South Carolina seceded. the 10 other states that went on to form the confederacy joined it soon after

Abraham Lincoln won, as competing candidates divided votes over slavery and regional interest (cbkhmm95)
