Rutherford+B.+Hayes

 =Post 1 Who is he? =  **Rutherford Birchard Hayes was the 19th president of the United States. His term was from 1877-1881,and he was part of the republican party. toc Hayes died in January, 1893. His original occupation was a lawyer and he served in the army for many years. He was later elected into Congress where he served for two years until he was elected governor of Ohio. The people must have liked him to have him be so politically involved, and that is why he is more a hero than a villain.**

It was a good thing, that made the Democrats feel somewhat better about the new president, also considered heroism. This showed that he wanted to mae the people happy. ** =Post 3 June 22, 1877 = ** Hayes issued an Executive Order that forbade the involvement of federal employees in political activities. www.millercenter.org/academic/americanpresident/keyevents/hayes  These events testified to Hayes's interest in civil service reform.
