In this result a disposition is manifested on the part of that nation corresponding with the disposition of the United States, which it may be hoped will be improved into liberal arrangements on other subjects on which the parties have mutual interests, or which might endanger their future harmony." He concluded with, "As fruits of this experience and of the reputation acquired by the American arms on the land and on the water, the nation finds itself possessed of a growing respect abroad and of a just confidence in itself, which are among the best pledges for its peaceful career."

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.
