How popular were the German nationalists in the 1860s elections?

by IIIRogueIII

I'm hoping for some data on the number of seats gained by pro-unification parties. Hopefully, in local elestions as well as the 1869 Landtag and the 1870 Reichstag elections. I've looked through various historians but I can't seem to find the actual election results. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks!

Had a mega post about the Southern Germanic states and I mention the local elections in it :)

Yet every attempt to extend the political control of the Confederation to the Southern states kept failing in the face of political catholicism; even when Bismark proposed they could control their own finances and army. Everywhere anti-Prussian sentiment continued to rage as even in their precious Customs Union and Parliament the Southern States punched back hard; only in Hesse-Darmstadt, the smallest of them all, were pro-Germanic unification nationalists elected to at least half of the (six) seats. The Bavarian Patriotic Party won 26 out of 48 seats. Yet Bismark still hoped economic and military codependence would bring them under heel. Every attempt to bring the idea of unification up in the Customs Unions were smacked down; the one time it was brought to a vote it lost 186 to 150 (at Bismark's own doing, he feared it wasn't time and the Southern states would walk out.

Hope that sort of helps :p When I dig up that book again I used for the post I'll check where those numbers are cited from and make sure to tell you!
