Although it is not disputed that Tilden outpolled Hayes in the popular vote, there were wide allegations of electoral fraud, election violence, and other disfranchisement of predominately Republican black voters. The question of who should have been awarded these electoral votes is the source of the continued controversy.In introducing his book, Haworth writes: "e;The book is based in large measure upon a collection of more than twenty thousand pages of congressional material, consisting of debates in Congress, of evidence gathered by various investigating committees, and of the proceedings before the electoral commission. This collection constitutes perhaps the most extensive and exhaustive one upon any subject of equal importance in American history."e;About the author: Paul Leland Haworth (1876-1936) was an American author, educator, explorer and politician, born at West Newton, Indiana. Haworth graduated from Indiana University in 1899. He was a member of the faculties of several schools and colleges, including Columbia and Bryn Mawr.
