Mathias Black · Answer 1

In an armed standoff in the capital between the Republican governor and the Democratic legislature in 1872.

Explanation:

Before the domination ended, the republican representatives in this state always won by republican party in a land slide. But the resentment that people have due to the civil war divided the state's opinion on some issues. This resulted in a standoff between the two parties. Even though eventually the Republican still won the election, the total votes between the two only separated by small margin.
