Summary
Details

The Covode Investigation: Report documents the findings of the Select Committee on Alleged Corruptions in Government, convened by the United States House of Representatives. Published circa 1860, this report delves into accusations of corruption and misconduct within the government, offering a detailed examination of the political climate during a pivotal period in American history.

The investigation, named after its chairman, Congressman John Covode, probed a range of allegations, contributing to the intense political debates leading up to the Civil War. This historical document provides invaluable insights into the inner workings of 19th-century American politics and the challenges of maintaining governmental integrity.
