On March 22, 1877, 30,000 defenders of Medellín, Colombia, were killed by 18,000 of the Front's troops, and 12,000 were captured, including Speaker Wall, Police Chief Will, and Deputy Mayor Barquelo.

And the mayor sent a smart initiative anyway, and the time for the Anyun Vanguard Army to control Medellín City was reduced.

The German Walker became the speaker of the Medellín Parliament, while Li Dan became the mayor of McCity, and Gao Shun became the commander of the Medellín Garrison Division.

Witte became the chief of police.

"What, Lao Mei came to the door? What do you mean? ”

Li Song received a telegram from Chinatown, and it seemed that Lao Mei had great ambitions for Zhongnanzhou.

American History: Another Civil War? The "North-South Compromise" of 1877.

After the end of the Civil War, the black problem has not been completely resolved, and the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are inseparable, and the two parties are bound to cooperate to rebuild the United States.

Civil war

Aftermath: Spanish-American War

After the bipartisan compromise in 1877, the United States was once again united in the United States. In 1898, the United States went to war with Spain in order to seize colonies in the Americas and Asia.

Spanish-American War

1. The United States has achieved domestic reconstruction

In 1877, the Democrats and Republicans finally took a step back and reached a compromise, in which the Democrats recognized the Republican president, and the Republicans temporarily shelved the goal of racial equality, and the United States was rebuilt.

In the Civil War, the Republican Party, which supported equal rights for blacks, won the war and naturally had the right to speak after the war.

However, the Democratic Party in the South has always been unconvinced and has been arguing with the Republican Party over the issue of black people and the reconstruction of the United States.

Democrats have been looking for an opportunity to stand up to the Republicans.

Because a famous cartoonist painted the Democratic Party as a donkey and the Republican Party as an elephant, both of them left such an image.

Second, the Democratic Party is bound to win the presidency this time

As a result, the 1876 U.S. presidential election became a contest between the Republicans and the Democratic Party.

Democrats, who have been in opposition since 1861, have long targeted this election.

Previously, due to the economic depression, the Republican Party's approval rating plummeted for a while, which is a good opportunity for Democrats to overtake in a corner.

They sent out a campaign by Dilden, who made a national name for purging the corruption syndicate in New York City, and concentrated on studying the corruption of the Republican government, ready to deal a fatal blow to their opponents. To be on the safe side, the Republican Party had to send in Hayes, a civil war hero with a clean record and blameless record, to compete with it.

The good situation is tilting in favor of the Democratic Party, which is already on the verge of winning the presidency this time.

Who would have thought that this election campaign would become the most controversial in American history.

The results of the popular vote came out quickly, with Dilden winning 51 percent of the vote, followed by Hayes with 48 percent. The Democrats believe they have a chance to win, and Dilden deserves to be elected president by a narrow margin of 3 percent.

However, it is the result of this vote that is about to lead to a dangerous dispute.

Although the results of the popular vote have been decided, it is the electoral vote that will determine the final presidency.

The number of electoral votes is determined by the number of seats each state has in the Senate and the House of Representatives, and if a candidate wins most of the state's votes, he or she will win all the electoral votes of that state, so the electoral vote is small, but it can determine success or failure.

At this time, there are still 20 electoral votes from four states still pending, and all eyes are on the 20 votes that can change the situation.

During the Civil War, Hayes was repeatedly promoted for military merit, up to Major General in the Volunteer Army. After the war, he began his political career. Twice elected to Congress and three governors of Ohio, he is known for his "integrity and efficiency."

Third, the United States is about to fall into a new round of civil war again

The U.S. Congress set up a 15-member election committee for this purpose, with seven Democrats and seven Republicans each, and one independent, Davis, to decide who the 20 votes were.

The Democrats were eager to canvass for votes and bribed Davis. But he didn't want to be self-defeating, Davis, who was standing on the cusp of the storm, didn't want to get into this big trouble, so he didn't do it.

He was replaced by Bradley, a former Republican, who naturally sided with his old club and voted for Hayes. In this way, the Democrats lost in this link, and the Republicans were very dissatisfied at this time, and it was they who won the election.

Not to be outdone, the Democratic Party relied on the advantage of the popular vote to argue with the Republican Party, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner for a while.

As a result, the United States almost plunged into civil war again.

The Democrats worked so hard to get a good situation, but they were crushed by their opponents at once, so some Democrats even began to contact the military and be ready to go to war at any time.

Seeing that the United States is about to fall into a new round of civil war again, and is likely to move towards a north-south split.

Fortunately, Republicans and Democrats held back, and representatives of both sides met behind closed doors at the Wormley Hotel to try to negotiate a mutually satisfactory distribution of benefits. And during this time, Randall, the speaker of the House of Representatives, pulled in a Supreme Court judge to mediate.

Fourth, apartheid will continue

Finally, on March 4, 1877, the Democrats and Republicans each took a step back and reached a compromise.

The Democrats recognized Republican Hayes as the new president, and the Republicans also made a commitment to withdraw federal troops from the South, stop continuing to promote racial equality in the South, and stop helping the Black Rights Movement in the South.

At the same time, the Republicans and Hayes also made additional promises that they would not be re-elected, and that they would reserve seats for Southern representatives in the cabinet, giving the Democrats enough face.

At this point, both the Democrats and the Republicans feel that this plan is feasible, and it is better than losing both. For the blacks in the South, however, this was a great betrayal of them.

As soon as the federal troops left, Southern farmers began to discriminate against blacks again, apartheid would continue, and the resolution of black interests was still far away.

The mediation of 1877 succeeded in preventing the United States from falling into a new round of civil war, but the reconciliation between the Democrats and the Republicans was a betrayal of the black community. Although the United States has rebuilt at home, the affirmative gains of the Civil War have not been preserved, and the black affirmative action movement still has a long way to go.

During Hayes's tenure, American technology developed rapidly, with Bell inventing the telegraph in 1877, Edison inventing the gramophone in 1878, and the electric light the following year. In foreign policy, President Hayes relaxed the isolationist policy that the United States had always adhered to and began to expand overseas. In 1879, when the American-French Panama Canal crisis took place, President Hayes declared in strong terms a special advisory to Congress that the United States was determined to bring the strategically important canal under its control.

Later, the French company responsible for digging the canal went bankrupt, which led to the subsidence of the incident. During his administration, Hayes also passed a treaty that seized the port of Paripari in the Samoan archipelago of the South Pacific as a supply depot for the U.S. Navy. Thus creating conditions for the United States to advance into the Pacific. On October 4, 1878, President Hayes met with China's first minister to the United States, which was the first time that a U.S. president had received a Chinese diplomatic envoy.
