US Election of 1880 Map
Election of 1880 Summary
In 1880, it was the return of Grant. Ulysses Grant made an attempt to come back for a third term, after winning the election of 1872. But his campaign didn’t get much traction.
In the election of 1880, it was mostly a two-pony race between James Garfield and Winfield Hancock. It was one of the tightest races because only 2000 votes separated the two for the popular vote.
But James Garfield barely squeaked out a win and became the 20th US president with 214 electoral votes. He only spent 200 days in office and was later assassinated.
