| Tóm tắt: | The hundred or so delegates arriving at California’s state capitol in July
1865 for the Union Party’s county convention came prepared for trouble.
For weeks past, up and down the state, Republicans (who had temporarily
taken up the “Union” label) had watched their local primaries and county
conventions thrown into turmoil. Sacramento’s primaries had been more
disorderly than most, marred by charges of “ruffianism,” bribery, and
assorted frauds. Many blamed the bruising contest on a headstrong governor
determined to land himself in the U.S. Senate. The so-called Short
Hair faction championed his cause, meeting stiff resistance from a clique
dubbed the “Long Hairs.” |
