Unearth the legal legacy of Rutherford B. Hayes! Prior to politics, he fearlessly defended fugitive slaves. As President, he championed civil rights for African Americans. Let's delve into the legal chapters of history. ⚖️📜

7/23 The southern Democrats basically said "look, #RutherfordBHayes, you and your Republicans can have the White House if you'll withdraw your federal troops from our South and just leave us states the rights to do our own thing down here."

As we saw in the massacres thread, African-American registered voters in, for example, Louisiana, went from ~130,000 in 1896 to just ~1300 by 1904.

Doing their own thing meant the states' rights to maintain and enforce systematic #WhiteSupremacy.
