S02e10 Tilden: The Game of the Oval Office

Today's episode starts with both Almost President Samuel Tilden and Future U.S. President Rutherford B. Hayes participating in a time honored political tradition of their day: writing letters accepting the nomination for President from their respective political parties. Then, in keeping with a time honored political tradition of OUR time, the Republican and Democratic press and campaign surrogates begin character assassinating both candidates, with accusations of tax fraud and corruption leveled against Tilden sticking. Meanwhile in the Southern States, extreme political polarization results in violence and illegal actions as members of both parties attempt to gain prominence not just in Washington, but in their state's respective capitals. * Follow us on social media!
