The United States Senate election of 1866 was the election that saw the Republican Party gain eighteen seats in the United States Senate as several of the Southern States were readmitted during Reconstruction, enlarging their already overwhelming majority. This was the single largest gain by any party in the history of the U.S. Senate. As this election was prior to ratification of the seventeenth amendment, Senators were chosen by State legislatures. ==Results== 40th Congress (1867–1869) * Majority Party: Republican (57) * Minority Party: Democratic (9) * Other Parties: (0) * Vacant: (6) * Total Seats: 72 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「United States Senate elections, 1866」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
