A leader of the Reconstruction era, whose contested election eerily parallels the election debacle of 2000
The disputed election of 1876 between Rutherford B. Hayes and Samuel Tilden, in which Congress set up a special electoral commission, handing the disputed electoral votes to Hayes, brings recent events into sharp focus. Historian Hans L. Trefousse explores Hayes's new relevance and reconsiders what many have seen as the pitfalls of his presidency. While Hayes did officially terminate the Reconstruction, Trefousse points out that this process was already well under way by the start of his term and there was little he could do to stop it. A great intellectual and one of our best-educated presidents, Hayes did much more in the way of healing the nation and elevating the presidency.Languages:EnglishPublisher:Times BooksISBN-13:9780805069082ISBN-10:805069089UPC:9780805069082Book Category:Biography & AutobiographyBook Subcategory:Presidents & Heads of State, Political, HistoricalSize:8.60 x 5.70 x 0.90 inchesWeight:0.851Product ID:SC14PXPJ4D
