U.S. presidential election of 1876: Tilden/Hendricks campaign broadsheet
Map of the United States showing the results of the 1872 presidential election by state. States won by Grant (Republican) are shaded in red, while those won by Greeley (Democratic/Liberal Republican) are in blue. Each state is labeled with its number of electoral votes, and two states, Arkansas and Louisiana, have their electoral votes excluded due to Reconstruction-era issues. A faded American flag serves as the background.
