<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 7619369, member: 101855&quot;]I do need to post one correction. Samuel J. Tilden was born into a wealthy family. He was not a self made man. He got an excellent education and was a highly successful lawyer. That was were he became even more wealthy.</p><p><br /></p><p>He was an admirer of former President, Martin Van Buren, who was also from New York. Tilden was a loyal Democrat who supported the party, until he had had enough of the corruption that came from Tammany Hall. This was during the era of “Boss” Tweed. He broke with them and became a reformer as Governor of New York, which brought him to national political prominence.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
