Rutherford Birchard Hayes fue un político estadounidense, abogado, líder militar y el 19.º presidente de los Estados Unidos entre 1877 y 1881. Como presidente, supervisó la era de la Reconstrucción de los Estados Unidos y restauró la confianza en el gobierno. Fue un reformista que llevó a cabo la reforma de la función pública y trató de reconciliar las divisiones heredadas de la Guerra Civil y la Reconstrucción.

Nativo de Ohio, Hayes ejerció la abogacía. Se convirtió en abogado en la ciudad de Cincinnati desde 1858 hasta 1861. Cuando la Guerra Civil comenzó, Hayes dejó una exitosa carrera política para unirse al Ejército de la Unión como oficial. Herido cinco veces, más gravemente en la Batalla de la Montaña del Sur, se ganó una buena reputación por su valentía en combate y fue ascendido al rango de mayor general. Tras la guerra, sirvió en el Congreso entre 1865 y 1867 por el Partido Republicano. Hayes abandonó el congreso para ejercer el cargo de Gobernador de Ohio; fue elegido dos veces, sirviendo desde 1868 hasta 1872, y una vez más en los años 1876-77. En 1872, Hayes miró el teléfono de Alexander Graham Bell y le dijo que era un gran invento, aunque se preguntó quién querría usarlo.[1]​

No se presentó de nuevo a las elecciones presidenciales de 1880, manteniendo su promesa de que no se presentaría a un segundo mandato. Hayes murió de complicaciones de un ataque cardiaco en Fremont, Ohio en 1893. Wikipedia

Letter "to a leading editor" (10 April 1875), as quoted in The Life, Public Services and Select Speeches of Rutherford B. Hayes (1876) http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/22037 edited by James Quay Howard, ch. X, p. 144

“The President of the United States of necessity owes his election to office to the suffrage and zealous labors of a political party, the members of which cherish with ardor and regard as of essential importance the principles of their party organization; but he should strive to be always mindful of the fact that he serves his party best who serves the country best.”

Inaugural Address (5 March 1877)

“The debt was the most sacred obligation incurred during the war. It was by no means the largest in amount. We do not haggle with those who lent us money. We should not with those who gave health and blood and life. If doors are opened to fraud, contrive to close them. But don’t deny the obligation, or scold at its performance.”

Letter to his son, Scott R. Hayes (8 March 1892)
Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1922 - 1926)

“We had an inspection today of the brigade. The Twenty-third was pronounced the crack regiment in appearance, … [but] I could see only six to ten in a company of the old men. They all smiled as I rode by. But as I passed away I couldn’t help dropping a few natural tears. I felt as I did when I saw them mustered in at Camp Chase.”

Letter to Lucy Webb Hayes (17 December 1864)
Diary and Letters of Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1922 - 1926)

“Constitutional statutes … which embody the settled public opinion of the people who enacted them and whom they are to govern — can always be enforced. But if they embody only the sentiments of a bare majority, pronounced under the influence of a temporary excitement, they will, if strenuously opposed, always fail of their object; nay, they are likely to injure the cause they are framed to advance.”
