Resumen de Gubernatorial campaign in Georgia in 1880
This campaign was a rare departure from the solid Democratic South which evolved in Georgia after 1865. Although the Republicans decided not to run a candidate in 1880, incumbent Alfred H. Colquitt, unable to get the necessary two‐thirds majority at the nominating convention in his bid for a second term, confronted Thomas M. Norwood, the minority Democratic candidate, in a state‐wide battle involving blacks, whites, Democrats, Republicans, and independents.
