SynopsisA study of the 1876 presidential election in which a congressional commission was established to sort out the contested results in several states. Although it is generally agreed that Samuel Tilden probably won the popular vote, Rutherford B. Hayes prevailed in the electoral college--by one vote! Historian Morris recounts the dirty tricks and wheeling and dealing, as well as the high character displayed by the two candidates.
