104 Terms
(6 pts.) During one of my campaigns for president, my opponents included a woman named Victoria Claflin Woodhull, who ran for president, and a Negro, Frederick Douglass, who ran for vice president for the Equal Rights Party. During my first term, I approved a treaty with the Dominican Republic to annex that country but the Senate rejected it.

(4 pts.) My renomination for a second term was unanimous, and I was reelected by another landslide. Four years after I left the presidency, my backers, called the “Stalwarts,” failed to obtain my nomination for a third term.

(6 pts.) I tried to maintain the rights of southern Negroes. I used Federal troops to protect Negroes from the Ku Klux Klan and other white groups that tried to keep blacks from voting. The 15th Amendment to the Constitution was adopted; it insures citizens the right to vote, regardless of race.
