Overview

A leader of the Reconstruction era, whose contested election eerily parallels the election debacle of 2000

The 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.

Historian 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.

    Little more than an outline

    Hans Trefousse's treatment of Rutherford B. Hayes falls far short of its potential. The book seems more a recitation of facts from an outline than a historical study. Paragraphs are often composed of short sentences listing either events, travels, or entertainments. Trefousse would have served the reader better to provide an understanding of the man and the period rather than try to list each trip or party. At times the biography seemed to be written by a student rather than an historian. Unable to resist the comparison of the 1876 election to 2000, Trefousse stretched the similarities in the Introduction (e.g. the African-American vote in 2000) and revealed his political biases in the Conclusion. Considering the weakness of his book, he would have done the reader a better service by writting a good historical biography rather than providing political commentary on current events. The editors have failed to maintain the quality that is evident in other books of The American Presidents series. One hopes that the editors take their role as editors seriously and do not consider their job ended with the commissioning of authors.

    A touchy-feely review of Hayes

    This short biography focuses too much on how Hayes felt about the events of that time. Additionally, the author's descriptions of the contested election of 1876 with its 'parallels' with the 2000 election are suspect. For example, a quote 'In 1876, as in 2000, the disputed result of the presidential canvass hinged on the question of votes denied to African Americans.' This assertion about the 2000 election is patently false; even the partisan US Civil Rights Commission could find no example of disenfranchised African Americans. The foci on the contest were predominately elderly white areas of Palm Beach and Broward counties. Note also with respect to the Kirkus review above, Hayes was not ousted by the Democrats, but decided to serve only one term prior to his election. He was succeeded by Garfield, a Republican.
