In this episode, we dive into the life and legacy of Rutherford B. Hayes, the 19th President of the United States. From his early life in Ohio and his distinguished service in the U.S. Civil War to his political rise and the controversial 1876 election, Hayes navigated a tumultuous period in American history. We explore how his presidency, shaped by the Compromise of 1877, brought an end to Reconstruction, and his efforts in civil service reform, economic stabilization, and international diplomacy. We’ll also cover his post-presidential years, his commitment to education reform, and his lasting impact on the nation.
