Calvin+COOLIDGE+(1923-1929)

//1924- Coolidge's son during the election died from an infection. As a result, Coolidge became depressed and didn't talk badly about his // //opponents (John W. Davis-Democrat and Robert M. La Follette-Progressive). He just talked of his ideas on government (see video below) and the election was one of the most subdued election that America had seen in awhile. He won every state's vote outside of the South beside Wisconsin. Coolidge had a popular vote majority of 2.5 million over that of his opponents. // ||  || //Nobody for his first term. Charles D.

<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';">Overall, it seems Coolidge was too much of a calm guy who didn't have a strong opinion in things (ex. his nickname: Silent Cal) to make much of an impact on big issues in America during his presidency. Although he did show sympathy to the Indians, something that is rare. He also helped the farmers who were in need, so his presidency as a whole wasn't a failure. ||  || //<span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif';"> Before his Presidency, he was Governor of Massachusetts. // ||  || http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8d1dW9oouOE - Calvin Coolidge's speech on taxes and government in 1924. ||  ||
