Hayes, Rutherford Birchard

Born Oct. 4, 1822, in Delaware, Ohio; died Jan. 17, 1893, in Fremont, Ohio. American statesman.

Hayes was educated as a lawyer. He served in the Civil War on the side of the North, and in 1864, running as a Republican, he was elected to Congress. In 1867 he was elected governor of Ohio and was reelected in 1869 and 1875. Hayes was president of the USA from 1877 to 1881. He won the presidency as a result of the Hayes-Tilden compromise of 1877. Under the terms of the agreement, Hayes withdrew federal troops from South Carolina and Louisiana and made a number of other concessions to the slaveholders. In the summer of 1877, Hayes used troops and police to crush a major strike by railroad workers. Under Hayes, the US government in 1878 obtained permission to build a naval station at Pago Pago on Tutuila Island in Samoa.
