'''Rutherford Birchard Hayes'''<ref>http://bioguide.congress.gov/biosearch/biosearch1.asp</ref> was the 19th [[President of the United States of America]], serving from 1877 to 1881. Hayes, a leading Ohio Republican was nominated because Ohio was a close and large state state. Previously he served one term as governor of Ohio, and served in Congress as a [[Radical Republican]] who supported [[Reconstruction]]. He gained local fame as a general in the Civil War. He was a relatively conservative chief executive who left little mark, but exemplified the honest, hard-working party leadership of the [[Third Party System]]. He was the beneficiary of the "Compromise of 1877" that ended opposition to his election, and ended [[Reconstruction]].
