Susan Anthony: Guilty of Unlawfully Voting

The political convention that selected Horace Greeley to oppose Ulysses S. Grant in the presidential election of 1872 was widely criticized. Many people referred to it as "That Convention."

Folks didn't seem to give Greeley much chance to win, as an illustration from the book "That Convention" demonstrates. Political cartoons made it seem as though Greeley's only support came from his own employer, the Tribune, while the entire United States supported Grant.

That point wasn't exactly true, however. Many women wanted Greeley to win. They, of course, didn't count because they couldn't vote.

"That Convention" also had a few things to say about Susan Anthony - none of them flattering.
