President Hayes is the most popular US president in Paraguay. There’s a province (Presidente Hayes) named after him, it’s capital is Villa Hayes, plus a soccer club. In 1877, he settled a territorial dispute between Paraguay and Argentina, in favor of Paraguay who had lost a war a few years before.
The worse thing that has happened to Western politics in the last 30 years, is that voters now just look at the leader in terms of their personality, rather than the policies of the party.
Hayes is actually one of the more underappreciated presidents. He pulled a move that was political suicide at the time: he vetoed an anti-Chinese bill that passed through Congress from mass hysteria of anti-Chinese sentiment. He knew his veto would mean he didn't stand a chance running for re-election, so he didn't, but he stood firm on his principles rather than cave to mob mentality. Sadly, his move wound up being all for naught, as Congress passed the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act after his presidency.

It's a shame, though, that a lot of younger folks have no idea that the Southern Democrats of that time period are now Republicans. Once the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed, Southern Democrats split off into the American Independent Party - who put Alabama Governor George Wallace up for President. Wallace even carried some states in the 1968 Election. Once they saw that party was going nowhere, they were welcomed into the GOP ranks, where they still reside today. That is how all the Southern States that were once staunchly Democrat states are now quite Red.

Well, to be fair there is a whole lot of fascinating stuff that is barely covered....even in eras that ARE covered. I mean one could probably spend a whole semester on any 20 years instead of a semester covering 150 years.
@@CJ87317 yeah they started breaking it down one year pre 1860s and the next year post 1860s but I think you only need one so most people don't actually learn our history
When I went to school back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and we read by candlelight, we were lied to big time. It was the age of the great America who could do no wrong. We were never told that the Pilgrims actually stole from the Indians and they were forgiven and fed by them. We were never told about elections like this one or how Kennedy stole the election in 1960. We weren't told how we won the revolutionary war and the war of 1812 by not abiding by the rules of war at the time. We weren't told about how we broke our treaties with the American Indians and how they only attacked after we threatened them. We weren't told of the horrors of killing women and children in Vietnam (granted no text books were written yet about it as Saigon had just fallen like 3 years beforehand). I can still remember my 8th grade social studies teacher telling us "the only thing you need to remember about Vietnam is that it is a disgrace to America because its the only war we ever lost."
It's not clear that Kennedy stole the 1960 election -- there's also evidence the GOP cheated in Illinois for instance. As far as "not abiding by the rules of warfare" of the era, that's one of those grossly over stated arguments. For one, the British were well versed in fighting guerilla wars -- that's what the French and Indian War had been, which they won about 15 years before the Revolution. The Brits very well knew how to fight and win such a war.
He wasn't a great President, but he wasn't a bad one by any stretch. He fought to protect the rights of the Freedmen, but his presidency was filled with scandals and a financial collapse as well. I'd say he's somewhere in the middle. Good and bad.
He appointed the men, so ultimately the buck stops with him. I wouldn't give him complete blame for the corruption obviously, but he does get some. Harding wasn't personally involved with any of the scandals (other than the sexual ones) during his administration, but he still wears the Teapot Dome scandal on his legacy. Grant does for his guys as well. Like I said, Grant is somewhere in the middle in my eyes (and in most historians). I put him at 22nd personally, but I could easily put him up a few or down a couple. A lot of the guys in the middle are really close.
8:23 When she said that if either had an aggressive personality, "the whole tenor [of the transfer of power] would have changed." That is a bit chilling to hear post-J6.
I had the privilege of visiting the Hayes Library and home last fall and they were spectacular. I was very impressed. Of all of the presidential libraries I've visited so far, I have to put this one close to the top.
The Presidency was weak and Congress was strong in the later part of the 19th century. Powerful senators had impeached President Johnson, and overawed Grant. That explains a string of rather mediocre presidents after Lincoln.
In his brief time as president, James Garfield tried to recover some of the executive branch's power. In fact, his assassin was a disgruntled job seeker who had lost his job (or a perceived job opportunity) due to Garfield's efforts to end the "spoils" system. His successor, Chester A. Arthur, continued Garfield's efforts.
@Brandon C. I think because W. Harding was more conservative and they appealed to Southern Conservative Democrats. And of course F. Roosevelt and L. Johnson had a huge Coalition of support from all political spectrums.
IMO. This was also when Custer was defeated and was impetus for Indian ‘eradication.’ News came to the convention of clusters defeat and thus people were all trying to get retribution. Does there always need to be some group of people to disparage.
Democrats were obsessed with racial identity politics & cheating back then as they are now. Republicans are obsessed with rules & strictly legal equality under the law then as now. What switched is Dems went from pro-white propaganda to pro-multicultural propaganda. Republicans are now called racists for opposing things like affirmative action that involve racial favorship. The Dems just switched from pro-white to pro-multi culti, everything else is basically the same.

Just a point to state here yes even though Hayes ended reconstruction directly, it really wouldn't have mattered as reconstruction was already extremely unpopular and would've ended one way or another regardless of who came to power
People don't realize (and are loathe to admit) how profound is the plight of the African-American minority: To be unprotected by the government. Sold out, for all intents and purposes. By the party that always claims to have "freed the slaves."
Reconstruction was gonna end regardless. Democrats won the House and were starving funding for the occupation force in the South. Hayes gets crap for selling out the Freedmen, but he didn't really have a choice.
2020: "Nine days to go before America decides on a choice for president. An election that we certainly hope goes far more smoothly than the disputed election of 1876....." Jan 6, 2021: So much for hoping......

Only in America is a turnout of 82 % extraordinary lol.
This was the last election when black people could somewhat vote until like the 1960s.
82% turnout is higher than average for most democratic countries
@@darkchocolate3390 And again, thanks to the southern states trying to prevent poor blacks from voting, part of the voting rights act of 1965 was struck down by the Supreme Court making it more difficult for them to vote again!
More of this please
Welp, the election didn’t go smoothly 💀
3 states were not certified in 1876, Every state is certified in 2020
oh geez I never thought it happened before
Its about to happen again this year. 5 states contesting the election with audits
Not Rushmore material 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁And that guy looks like he came back from 1876 with the beard
Another thoughtful piece by the brilliant Mo Rocca.
The things they don't teach you in american history in high school. The whole reconstruction period is a chapter or two. It's like they are purposely trying to exclude this information
Well, to be fair there is a whole lot of fascinating stuff that is barely covered....even in eras that ARE covered. I mean one could probably spend a whole semester on any 20 years instead of a semester covering 150 years.
@@CJ87317 yeah they started breaking it down one year pre 1860s and the next year post 1860s but I think you only need one so most people don't actually learn our history
We had to do both.
When I went to school back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and we read by candlelight, we were lied to big time. It was the age of the great America who could do no wrong. We were never told that the Pilgrims actually stole from the Indians and they were forgiven and fed by them. We were never told about elections like this one or how Kennedy stole the election in 1960. We weren't told how we won the revolutionary war and the war of 1812 by not abiding by the rules of war at the time. We weren't told about how we broke our treaties with the American Indians and how they only attacked after we threatened them. We weren't told of the horrors of killing women and children in Vietnam (granted no text books were written yet about it as Saigon had just fallen like 3 years beforehand). I can still remember my 8th grade social studies teacher telling us "the only thing you need to remember about Vietnam is that it is a disgrace to America because its the only war we ever lost."
It's not clear that Kennedy stole the 1960 election -- there's also evidence the GOP cheated in Illinois for instance.
As far as "not abiding by the rules of warfare" of the era, that's one of those grossly over stated arguments. For one, the British were well versed in fighting guerilla wars -- that's what the French and Indian War had been, which they won about 15 years before the Revolution. The Brits very well knew how to fight and win such a war.
Wow. The ED of the Hayes museum wore jeans for her interview with CBS Sunday Morning.
I think this is why Rutherford B. Hayes was commonly referred to as "His Fruadulancy".
And why he pretty much could not run for re-election.
"an election that, we certainly hope, goes far more smoothly"
JINXED IT.
1:33 ehh come on, Grant wasn’t that bad, he was one of the greatest presidents and generals :)
He was a great general,but compared to other presidents he wasn’t that greta
@@sniceverything4944 he protected African Americans in the south. That’s one great thing. You should watch Grant on history channel. Interesting
He wasn't a great President, but he wasn't a bad one by any stretch. He fought to protect the rights of the Freedmen, but his presidency was filled with scandals and a financial collapse as well. I'd say he's somewhere in the middle. Good and bad.
@@CJ87317 the corruption and scandal wasn’t really his fault
He appointed the men, so ultimately the buck stops with him. I wouldn't give him complete blame for the corruption obviously, but he does get some. Harding wasn't personally involved with any of the scandals (other than the sexual ones) during his administration, but he still wears the Teapot Dome scandal on his legacy. Grant does for his guys as well.
Like I said, Grant is somewhere in the middle in my eyes (and in most historians). I put him at 22nd personally, but I could easily put him up a few or down a couple. A lot of the guys in the middle are really close.
8:23 When she said that if either had an aggressive personality, "the whole tenor [of the transfer of power] would have changed." That is a bit chilling to hear post-J6.
i have always been terrified of rutherford
"Those that fail to learn from history... "
Are doomed to repeat it
History does repeat itself
6:25 that's what I'm like right now during the 2020 election cycle
GET IT SETTLED! 😆🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I’ve been to the Hayes house in Fremont, OH. Well worth a visit.
The parallels are uncanny
This sounds vaguely familiar . . . .
I had the privilege of visiting the Hayes Library and home last fall and they were spectacular. I was very impressed. Of all of the presidential libraries I've visited so far, I have to put this one close to the top.
Time is a flat circle
The Presidency was weak and Congress was strong in the later part of the 19th century. Powerful senators had impeached President Johnson, and overawed Grant. That explains a string of rather mediocre presidents after Lincoln.
In his brief time as president, James Garfield tried to recover some of the executive branch's power. In fact, his assassin was a disgruntled job seeker who had lost his job (or a perceived job opportunity) due to Garfield's efforts to end the "spoils" system. His successor, Chester A. Arthur, continued Garfield's efforts.
This episode did not age well.
Comfort???
The fact that this video came out days before the 2020 election speaks volumes of prior knowledge as to who was going to win.
All of it Sound just like 2020!
Trump lost. But his massive ego won't allow reality to take its course.
@@keithhyttinen8275 nope. President Trump won. Accept reality.
" The capital is just beautiful,"!!!!!! Thank God it's ours.
Wow 82% our nation vote amazing.
Registered voters. Not the population
Ahhh yes 1876, I remember that one. Was pretty, well, interesting
@Brandon C. it’s also South of North Carolina
@Brandon C. I think because W. Harding was more conservative and they appealed to Southern Conservative Democrats. And of course F. Roosevelt and L. Johnson had a huge Coalition of support from all political spectrums.
After Buchanan, Tilden would have been the second bachelor president!
IMO. This was also when Custer was defeated and was impetus for Indian ‘eradication.’ News came to the convention of clusters defeat and thus people were all trying to get retribution. Does there always need to be some group of people to disparage.
Rutherford Birchard Hayes may also have been the first US President to use the telephone.

I keep forgetting that democrats were conservative and republicans were liberal back then lol
Democrats were obsessed with racial identity politics & cheating back then as they are now. Republicans are obsessed with rules & strictly legal equality under the law then as now. What switched is Dems went from pro-white propaganda to pro-multicultural propaganda. Republicans are now called racists for opposing things like affirmative action that involve racial favorship. The Dems just switched from pro-white to pro-multi culti, everything else is basically the same.
Haha, there’s no bias in this statement at all. Republicans suck just as much as Democrats (probably more).
@@user-xd4rs6vr4n no not really. Democrats are a lot more liberal and republicans are conservative. I’m a democrat but I would have been a republican personally back in the day
@@user-xd4rs6vr4n Affirmative action is racial favoritism. But White folks having all power and authority is the natural order of things because, as a group, you're just smarter and have worked harder as a people. Is this what you're suggesting? Racism and the systematic oppression and exclusion of people of color has had no impact on today's United States? Or, are you just saying that racism didn't exist or wasn't as bad as the Democrats like to say? I'm asking because I don't see any kind of historical foundation for your statement.
@@user-xd4rs6vr4n Lmao if that's the case then why did Lincoln (who was one of the founders of the Republican party) read Karl Marx's writings and wrote to him? Teddy Roosevelt literally imposed Anti-trust laws on big monopolies which is something that today's GOP wouldn't do since they give huge tax cuts to the top 1%.
History doesn't repeat itself...but it does rhyme.
Yes, history DOES repeat itself......just with a bit of a different twist.
3:17 that cheap gladiator is pretty cool amazing that came out that year.
Again.. this is rediculous that we would allow any corruption at this point in 2024.
ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSPARENCY IN ALL OF GOVERNMENT!
1876 Presidental election makes the current one seems mild.
Just a point to state here yes even though Hayes ended reconstruction directly, it really wouldn't have mattered as reconstruction was already extremely unpopular and would've ended one way or another regardless of who came to power
well here we are
Nothing changes for the Black Man. Voter suppression is still real today. Stay tune 2024.
Country "survived" at the expense of its Black citizens. How different the world would be if they were protected by their government.
People don't realize (and are loathe to admit) how profound is the plight of the African-American minority: To be unprotected by the government. Sold out, for all intents and purposes. By the party that always claims to have "freed the slaves."
@@basilmarasco1975 good point.
Reconstruction was gonna end regardless. Democrats won the House and were starving funding for the occupation force in the South. Hayes gets crap for selling out the Freedmen, but he didn't really have a choice.
See America. You’ve always been this way.
Here after the Capitol was invaded confirming this election was NOT smoother than the one in 1876 lol.
Foreshadowing af
Sounds like Georgia and Texas this 2021.
0:07 way to jinks it 🙄
That's some forshadowing!
It's a shame. Hayes was a wonderful president and is only remembered for a "offer he could not refuse"
2020: "Nine days to go before America decides on a choice for president. An election that we certainly hope goes far more smoothly than the disputed election of 1876....."
Jan 6, 2021: So much for hoping......
“An election we hope goes far more smoothly than the disputed election of 1876.”
Lady, I have bad news for you…
Tilden had a legitimate case in 1876-77. Trump did not in 2020-21.
RIP Mr. Kuralt.
