@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN Throughout U.S. history, there have been several national elections that were followed by political violence, often due to heightened tensions and divisions among the population. Some notable instances include: 1. Election of 1860: The election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 led to increased tensions between North and South over the issue of slavery, ultimately leading to the secession of Southern states and the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861. 2. Election of 1876: The disputed presidential election of 1876 between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel J. Tilden resulted in a controversial electoral commission decision, leading to widespread political unrest and violence in the South as the Reconstruction era came to an end. 3. Election of 1968: The presidential election of 1968, which saw the victory of Richard Nixon, occurred during a tumultuous period marked by civil rights protests, anti-Vietnam War demonstrations, and social upheaval. The Democratic National Convention in Chicago that year was marred by violent clashes between protesters and law enforcement. 4. Election of 2000: The contested presidential election of 2000 between George W. Bush and Al Gore, which was ultimately decided by the Supreme Court, sparked heated debates and protests across the country, with some incidents of violence reported. While these are some of the most notable examples, political violence surrounding national elections has occurred at various points in U.S. history, reflecting broader societal tensions and conflicts.
