"A Compilation of the Messages and Papers of the Presidents, Volume 7, Part 2" by James D. Richardson is a historical account compiled during the late 19th century. This work serves as a comprehensive collection of significant messages and documents from the presidency of Rutherford B. Hayes, highlighting crucial moments and policies during his administration from March 1877 to March 1881. The opening of this volume provides a detailed exposition of Hayes's early life, education, military service during the Civil War, and ascent to the presidency amidst political controversy. It outlines his key principles for governance articulated in his inaugural address, emphasizing themes like national unity, the importance of local self-government, and the safeguarding of civil rights for all citizens, particularly in the post-Civil War South. His commitment to addressing issues such as economic stability, civil service reform, and the country’s international relations sets the stage for a presidency focused on healing and rebuilding a divided nation.
