The Election of 1876
President Rutherford Hayes, and Mr. Samuel Tilden
The questionable election of 1876 was the catalyst that led to passing the Posse Comitatus
Act. President Ulysses Grant sent federal troops to supervise elections in the South because of reported corruption. President
Rutherford Hayes as we know has won the elections and Mr. Samuel Tilden will have to wait another four years.
