View full profile →

Rutherford B. Hayes (1822–1893) was the 19th President of the United States, serving from 1877 to 1881, and a key figure in the end of Reconstruction. A lawyer, Union Army officer, and governor of Ohio, he was known for his integrity, commitment to civil service reform, and efforts to reconcile North and South. His presidency was marked by the Compromise of 1877, which withdrew federal troops from the South, and his advocacy for education and merit-based governance.
