Horace Greeley presidential campaign, 1872 In the run-up to the 1872 U.S. Presidential election, major changes occurred in the United States of America. Specifically, the 15th Amendment gave African-Americans the right to vote and cracked down on the Ku Klux Klan. In addition, the economy was still in good shape and President Grant's corruption scandals for the most part haven't become known about yet. With this background, incumbent U.S. President was able to decisively defeat Horace Greeley, the candidate of both the Democrats and the Liberal Republicans (a breakaway party that split off from the Republican Party due to its members' dislike of the corruption of the Republicans and the Republicans' Reconstruction policies), in the 1872 election.

Mugwumps The Mugwumps were Republican political activists who bolted from the United States Republican Party by supporting Democratic candidate Grover Cleveland in the United States presidential election of 1884. They switched parties because they rejected the financial corruption associated with Republican candidate James G. Blaine. In a close election, the Mugwumps supposedly made the difference in New York state and swung the election to Cleveland. The jocular word "mugwump", noted as early as 1832, is from Algonquian (Natick) "mugquomp", "important person, kingpin" (from "mugumquomp", "war leader"), implying that they were "sanctimonious" or "holier-than-thou," in holding themselves aloof from party politics.
