Title

Republicans versus Conservatives in the late 1800s

Description

This explains the struggle between President Grant and the Republicans versus the Conservatives. With Grant refusing a general amnesty to Confederates and standing up for slaves, people- mainly rich whites- were outraged. As shown, the people still saw slaves as lesser and were enraged at the idea of “acknowledging themselves to be inferior to slaves”.
