[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 3750985, member: 101855"]Harding should never have been elected president, but he was not the worst president. James Buchanan and Franklin Piece who supported the slave owners and pushed the country toward the Civil War were worse. Harding appointed appointed Charles Evens Hughes as his Secretary of State. Hughes helped to negotiate a naval treaty that brought stability to the world for over a decade. Andrew Mellon was a competent secretary of the Treasury. Harding was ahead of his time with respect to civil rights. When he was in Alabama he told an audience that he looked forward to the time when all citizens could would be treated equally. It might see like a small point, but Harding realized that he was in the wrong place as president. In a famous quote he wondered what to about a taxation issue.
