In 1876, as America turns 100, Alexander Graham Bell makes the first successful telephone call, Philadelphia dazzles millions at the Centennial Exposition, and the Wild West forges legends from Custer’s Last Stand, Jesse James, Wyatt Earp, and Wild Bill Hickok.

Hayes one electoral vote from the presidency. With rival electors, accusations of fraud, racial violence, and a constitutional crisis threatening the nation, Congress creates an unprecedented Electoral Commission to decide who will become president and whether America’s fragile postwar republic can survive.

Andrew Jackson vs. John Quincy Adams: The Birth of American Political Warfare | The American Story | Ep 13
Two American giants collide in the brutal birth of modern politics. John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson were born the same year, but they represented two radically different Americas. One was a polished diplomat raised for public service; the other was a fiery frontier warrior who carried bullets, grudges, and political rage. Their rivalry explodes through the “corrupt bargain” of 1824, the vicious election of 1828, and leads to the birth of the Democratic Party. This is the story of how Andrew Jackson forever altered the presidency, and how John Quincy Adams found new purpose as a warrior in the fight against slavery.
