#1. Name this President: I was a Republican from Ohio who served as President from 1877 to 1881. My wife was the first, First Lady to be a college graduate. I fought in the Civil War and was seriously wounded at the battle of South Mountain, Maryland. I resigned from the army at the end of the war with the rank of Major General The first claim of an election being “stolen election” occurred during my election. The Democrats claimed I ‘stole the election.’ In the 1876 the Democrat Samuel J. Tilden (governor of New York) won the popular vote by approximately 250,000 votes. However, the Democratic and the Republican parties in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina each sent their own conflicting ballot results to Washington. Congress appointed a 15-member commission – with a Republican majority - all disputed electoral votes were awarded to me, and I won by 1 electoral vote – 185 to 184. After leaving office I became a fierce advocate for education and prison reform. I served as a trustee for 3 Ohio universities (Wesleyan, Western Reserve and Ohio State). In n1882 I became the first president of the board of the John F. Slater Education Fund for Freedmen (a $1 million endowment to provide education for Southern blacks} and the first president of the reorganized National Prison Reform Association After my death, my son established a presidential library in my name at Spiegel Grove, setting the precedent for future presidential libraries.
