John Calvin Coolidge, Jr. (July 4, 1872 – January 5, 1933) was the 30th President of the United States (1923–1929). A Republican lawyer from Vermont, Coolidge worked his way up the ladder of Massachusetts state politics, eventually becoming governor of that state. As President, Coolidge demonstrated his determination to preserve the
old moral and economic precepts amid the material prosperity which many
Americans were enjoying. He refused to use Federal economic power to
check the growing boom or to ameliorate the depressed condition of
agriculture and certain industries. His first message to Congress in
December 1923 called for isolation in foreign policy, and for tax cuts,
economy, and limited aid to farmers. |
