What were the issues debated in the 1868 US presidential election?
ChuckSiata
The 1868 US election for the presidency was between US Grant as the Republican candidate and New York Governor Horatio Seymour as the Democratic candidate. Seymour had already made it clear during the war what he thought of Republicans and even Abraham Lincoln.Seymour had addressed the 1863 draft rioters in New York City as "friends" and had referred to US President Lincoln as the English king, Charles I.
The 1868 campaign was less than " polite", it was a sadly divisive. It turned out to be one racism for starters, not a good sign.
Seymour was painted as being a friend of the Ku Klux Klan, and a pro-immigrant anti-American figure.
The issue against US Grant revolved around the antisemitism he displayed during his famous Order No. 11 pushing bad salesmen and Jewish ones too out of army camps, which were buying goods from them.
Grant prevailed and won the election and promised to mend fences between the two parties and between North and South.
