YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Republican candidate Rutherford B. Hayes won the 1876 presidential election over Governor Samuel J. Tilden of New York by a single electoral vote in one of the most disputed American presidential elections ever. Their contest produced the highest voter turnout in U.S. history -- 81.8 percent of males over 21 cast a ballot. Just what was the dispute about? Michael Holt -- a University of Virginia history professor -- addresses that question.
