Rutherford B. Hayes
Post-Reconstruction era leader
Rutherford B.
Hayes was the nineteenth president of the United States, serving from 1877 to 1881.
His contested election, decided by a congressional commission, ended Reconstruction when federal troops withdrew from the South as part of the compromise that secured his victory.
Hayes is remembered as an honest but forgettable one-term president who pledged not to seek reelection.
