Synopsis "Rutherford B. Hayes: The biography of an American Civil War president, leadership and betrayal (in English)"
Delve into the life and legacy of Rutherford Birchard Hayes, the 19th President of the United States, in this comprehensive biography. Born on October 4, 1822, Hayes rose to prominence through his remarkable military service and political career. A Union Army officer during the American Civil War, Hayes distinguished himself with acts of bravery, earning the rank of brevet major general.Transitioning from the battlefield to the political arena, Hayes served as the Governor of Ohio and a member of the House of Representatives. His journey to the presidency reached a climax with the hotly contested 1876 election, where he faced off against Samuel J. Tilden. The electoral dispute that ensued led to the Compromise of 1877, securing Hayes's victory and shaping the course of post-war Reconstruction.As president, Hayes advocated for meritocratic governance and equal treatment for all, irrespective of wealth or social standing. His administration navigated the tumultuous Great Railroad Strike of 1877 and implemented civil-service reforms that laid the groundwork for future transformations. Hayes's commitment to the gold standard and his policies toward Western Indians reflected his vision for economic recovery and assimilation.This biography explores Hayes's presidency, marked by challenges and achievements, offering a nuanced understanding of a leader whose impact on executive power and civil-service reform left an indelible mark on American history.
