Voters chose 12 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.1880 Presidential Election Results Tennessee https://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/state.php?year=1880&off=0&elect=0&fips=47&f=0 For over a century after the Civil War, Tennessee's white citizenry was divided according to partisan loyalties established in that war. Unionist regions covering almost all of East Tennessee, Kentucky Pennyroyal-allied Macon County, and the five West Tennessee Highland Rim counties of Carroll, Henderson, McNairy, Hardin and WayneWright, John K.; ‘Voting Habits in the United States: A Note on Two Maps’; Geographical Review, vol. 22, no. 4 (October 1932), pp. 666-672 voted Republican – generally by landslide margins – as they saw the Democratic Party as the “war party” who had forced them into a war they did not wish to fight.Key (Jr.), Valdimer Orlando; Southern Politics in State and Nation (New York, 1949), pp. 282-283 Contrariwise, the rest of Middle and West Tennessee who had supported and driven the state's secession was equally fiercely Democratic as it associated the Republicans with Reconstruction.Lyons, William; Scheb (II), John M. and Stair Billy; Government and Politics in Tennessee, pp. 183-184 1572331410 In 1868, Ulysses S. Grant easily carried the state due to disfranchisement of former Confederates and the Ku Klux Klan Act.Bergeron, Paul H.; Ash, Stephen V. and Keith, Jeanette; Tennesseans and Their History, p. 175 1572330562 However, in the year after that election, Tennessee was the first state where Reconstruction was ended, and with the aid of the resurgent Klan, white Democrats rewrote the state's constitution to regain some of their lost power.Bergeron; Ash, and Keith; Tennesseans and Their History, pp. 176-178 Nevertheless, blacks and Unionist whites forged adequate support for the GOP to create a competitive political system during that decade,Kousser, J. Morgan; The Shaping of Southern Politics: Suffrage Restriction and the Establishment of the One-Party South, 1880-1910, p. 104 0-300-01973-4 although the Democratic Party won all statewide elections. However, at the beginning of the 1880s, a divide in the Democratic Party on this issue of payment of state debt allowed the GOP to claim the governor's mansion, but this did not seriously alter presidential voting and Tennessee was won by General Winfield Scott Hancock (D–Pennsylvania), running with former Representative William Hayden English, with 53.26 percent of the popular vote, against Representative James A. Garfield (R-Ohio), running with the 10th chairman of the New York State Republican Executive Committee Chester A. Arthur, with 44.26 percent of the vote. This would be the last time a Democratic presidential candidate carried Unionist Pennyroyal Macon County until Bill Clinton in 1992.Menendez, Albert J.; The Geography of Presidential Elections in the United States, 1868-2004, pp. 298-304 0786422173 Results 1880 United States presidential election in Tennessee Democratic Party (United States) Winfield Scott Hancock Pennsylvania William Hayden English Indiana 129,569 53.26% 12 100.00% Republican Party (United States) James A.
