{"product_id":"rutherford-b-hayes-1","title":"Rutherford B. Hayes","description":"A leader of the Reconstruction era, whose contested election eerily parallels the election debacle of 2000\n\nThe 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.\n\nHistorian 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0805069089\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0805069089.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hans Trefousse\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
