Born in Ohio, in 1822, Rutherford B Hayes was educated at Kenyon College and later at Harvard Law School. He eventually moved to Lower Sandusky, in Ohio, where he became a very successful Whig lawyer.

Hayes Enters Politics

Like his predecessor, Ulysses S Grant, Hayes also fought in the American Civil War. Hayes was wounded in action at the Battle of South Mountain in Maryland. Hayes was wounded a total of five times during the course of the war and was eventually promoted to the rank of brevet major general. Following the war, he chose to remain in the army. Meanwhile, a group of Republicans in Cincinnati nominated Hayes for the House of Representatives. Hayes accepted the nomination, but would not actively campaign, saying that, “any officer fit for duty at this crisis who would abandon his post to electioneer...ought to be scalped.”

Hayes won the election by a landslide and was seated in Congress in December, 1865. Hayes would also serve three terms as the Governor of Ohio between 1867 and 1876.
