Calvin Coolidge
Calvin Coolidge was the Vice President for President Warren Harding before becoming President in 1924. Interestingly enough, Calvin Coolidge gained more popularity after leaving office when compared with his popularity as President. The people of America saw his presidency as a time when dignity was restored to the position of President. Although he was very soft-spoken, he stood up for what was right, especially for those who didn’t have a voice. He was a big proponent for civil rights, although this did not always get approval from the government. He is arguably most well-known for the Indian Citizenship Act, granting all Native Americans on reservations citizenship. A biographer wrote, “He embodied the spirit and hopes of the middle class, could interpret their longings and express their opinions. That he did represent the genius of the average is the most convincing proof of his strength”.
