Explanation:

The election conducted in the United States in the year 1868 was a very significant and important election. This is because it was conducted after slavery was abolished in America and the Civil war had ended. It was significant as well because it was the first election where African Americans in Southern States that passed through Reconstruction in accordance to the First Reconstruction Act were allowed to vote.

The African Americans votes helped Ulysses. S. Grant and the party of Lincoln( i.e. the party of Abraham Lincoln also known as the Republican Party) to defeat Horatio Seymour.

Ulysses. S. Grant became the 18th President of the United States and he was a part of the section of the Republican Party also known as the Radical Republicans who fought against the slavery of African Americans in the United States.
