The Re-Adjuster Party in West Virginia

After the war, Mahon goes back to what he really likes doing, which is railroads. He gains control of two other railroads, merges them all into the Atlantic, Mississippi and Ohio railroad. But then the panic of 1873 hits, he loses control of the AMO to Clarence Howard Clark of Philadelphia. That's that's a little bit like the Northern Rich boy just kicks him out of his own thing and wins the Civil War again. Although Mahon was said to have tried to stop them from war-criming black troops.
