Hint
Answer
The 26th President of the United States (1901-1909).
Theodore Roosevelt
His most disastrous political miscalculation was to veto the Civil Rights Act of 1866 on the grounds that it conferred citizenship on the freedmen at a time when 11 out of 36 states were unrepresented in the Congress, and that it discriminated in favor of African Americans and against whites. (Congress overrode his veto.)
Andrew Johnson
Aspired to remain neutral as World War I broke out (1914-1917), but ultimately asked Congress to declare war against Germany after Germany engaged in a series of attacks against U.S. shipping and tried to convince Mexico to join them in a war against the U.S.
Woodrow Wilson
During his presidency, the U.S. military massacred over 250 Lakota at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation near Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota (1890).
Benjamin Harrison
In 1888, signed the Scott Act, which barred Chinese immigrants who left the U.S. from returning.
Grover Cleveland
In 1900, he and other western powers sent 5,000 troops to Peking (now Beijing) to protect Americans and other westerners in China during the Boxer Rebellion.
William McKinley
Worked with Congress to establish the Federal Reserve System.
Woodrow Wilson
The 29th President of the United States (1921-1923).
Warren G. Harding
Signed into law the Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890, which prohibited anticompetitive agreements and unilateral conduct that monopolized or attempted to monopolize a market.
Benjamin Harrison
His veto of the Volstead Act, designed to enforce Amendment XVIII (prohibition), was overridden by Congress.
Woodrow Wilson
Sent troops to occupy Nicaragua in 1912, when continued instability threatened U.S. interests. The occupation lasted until 1933.
William Howard Taft
Signed the Chinese Exclusion Act in 1882, banning nearly all immigration from China for ten years.
Chester A. Arthur
The 25th President of the United States (1897-1901).
William McKinley
In 1924, he signed the Indian Citizenship Act, granting citizenship to all Native Americans born in the United States. He also advocated to make lynching a federal crime, but failed to get Congress to act on it.
Calvin Coolidge
Because Congress would not ratify the Treaty of Versailles, which formally ended WWI hostilities, it was necessary for him to sign individual treaties with Germany, Austria and Hungary in 1921 … without the U.S. joining the League of Nations.
Warren G. Harding
Utah (1896) was admitted to the Union during his presidency.
Grover Cleveland
The 28th President of the United States (1913-1921).
Woodrow Wilson
Sent troops to occupy Haiti (1915) and the Dominican Republic (1916), and authorized interventions in Cuba, Panama and Honduras, despite having criticized his predecessors’ foreign policies as being too imperialistic.
Woodrow Wilson
The 16th President of the United States (1861-1865).
Abraham Lincoln
The 22nd President of the United States (1885-1889).
Grover Cleveland
