In the Election of 1872 the conflict between President U. S. Grant
and Horace Greeley has been typically understood as a battle for
the soul of the ruling Republican Party. In this innovative study,
Andrew Slap arguesforcefully that the campaign was more than a
narrow struggle between Party elites and a class-based radical
reform movement. The election, he demonstrates, had broad
consequences: in their opposition to widespread Federal corruption,
Greeley Republicans unintentionally doomed Reconstruction of any
kind, even as they lost the election. Based on close readings of
newspapers, party documents, and other primary sources, Slap
confronts one of the major questions in American political history:
How, and why, did Reconstruction come to an end? His focus on the
unintended consequences of Liberal Republican politics is a
provocative contribution to this important debate.
