this was the first post civil war presidential election and ulysses s. grant, he won that election running away. and it was then left to him after the few terrible years that were wasted under the previous terrible president, it was then left to grant to try to get the post-civil war riotist raging south under control. and part of the way grant tried to do that was a new set of laws called the enforcement acts. i mean, by that point, we had the emancipation proclamation, freeing the slaves, the 14th and 15th amendments that were supposed to free the slaves, give everybody the right to vote, make men at least all equal in the south. despite those rights existing on paper, though, they absolutely didn't exist in real life and in a lot of places in the country, particularly in the former confederate states, it was a reign of terror. i don't mean that as a metaphor. literally thousands of americans were killed in political and racist violence after the end of the civil war in the lead-up to that 1868 election. and in the end, it wasn't close. grant won it. i
