(64,933 posts)Rutherford Birchard Hayes (October 4, 1822 January 17, 1893) was the 19th president of the United States from 1877 to 1881, having served also as an American representative and governor of Ohio. Hayes was a lawyer and staunch abolitionist who defended refugee slaves in court proceedings in the antebellum years.
From Wikipedia.
The republicans today would call him a socialist.

On edit: Even though he ran as a republican, by today's standards he would be considered a liberal. "Hayes believed in meritocratic government and equal treatment without regard to wealth, social standing or race."
