- United States House of Representatives elections, 1870
The U.S. House election, 1870 was an election for the United States House of Representatives in 1870 which occurred in the middle of President Ulysses S. Grant's first term.
With Grant's administration rocked by a number of scandals and Reconstruction winding down, his Republican Party lost seats to the opposition Democratic Party but retained an overall majority. Also, since Democratic Party controlled governments were reestablishing themselves in the South, the Democrats were able to make huge gains in this election.
