This was the beginning of the so-called âbaby boom.â In 1947, another 3.8 million babies were born; 3.9 million were born in 1952; and more than 4 million were born every year from 1954 until 1964, when the boom finally tapered off. By then, there were 76.4 million âbaby boomersâ in the United States.
In the election of 1876, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes defeated Democrat Samuel J. Tilden in what some consider the most disputed presidential election in American history. Tilden won the popular vote that year, getting about 4.3 million votes while Hayes only got about 4.03 million votes.
This has happened four times. In 1824 Andrew Jackson won in popular vote but lost the election. He also led in electoral vote but did not get a the required majority, so t â¦ he final choice went to House where he lost to John Quincy Adams. In 1876. Samuel Tilden won in popular vote but lost the election to Rutherford Hayes.
