The influence of radical Republicans, more progressive as far as blacks are concerned, is diminished as moderate Republicans come into power. They nominate Ulysses S. Grant for the presidency in 1868, perhaps the only man who could be elected during these difficult years. Grant enters the White House with no political experience and his performance, according to some critics, is ineffectual from the start. What Grant does is give the nation an assertive president who works quite well with Congress on some issues. However, scandals involving members of his cabinet begin surfacing during the 1872 campaign. Complicating Grant's problems is a financial crisis that had its origins in the Civil War.
