What did the amnesty act?

The Amnesty Act of 1872 was an act passed that reenfranchised ex-confederates that previously had been barred from voting after the resolve of the civil war (re-allowed them to vote). It was intended to be an October surprise, as it was an election year, to take votes away from Grant, who had obviously been a Union General. While it did increase the Democrat's numbers by a good deal, since the black vote still outweighed them and Grant's opposition was split between two candidates, Grant still won.

The first m is silent, except among hellenists, who sometimes enjoy reviving the old pronunciation of Greek-based words.
