Is it accurate to state that after Reconstruction, there were often minimal differences between Republican and Democratic presidential candidates besides the tariff? I know that most reporters and observers seemed to think that in 1880 there were few real disagreements between James A. Garfield and Winfield Scott Hancock other than the tariff positions of their respective parties. Thanks!Todd Arringtonnoreply@blogger.com
