Notes:

The 30th president of the United States

A Republican lawyer from New England, born in Vermont, Coolidge worked h i s way up the ladder of Massachusetts state politics, eventually becomi n g governor of Massachusetts. His response to the Boston Police Strik e o f 1919 thrust him into the national spotlight and gave him a reputati on a s a man of decisive action. The next year, he was elected the 29th v ice p resident of the United States, and he succeeded to the presidency u pon th e sudden death of Warren G. Harding in 1923. Elected in his own ri ght i n 1924, he gained a reputation as a small-government conservative a nd als o as a man who said very little and had a dry sense of humor, rece iving t he nickname "Silent Cal". He chose not to run again in the 1928 e lection , remarking that ten years as president was (at the time) "longe r than an y other man has had it—too long!"

Throughout his gubernatorial career, Coolidge ran on the record of fisc a l conservatism and strong support for women's suffrage. He held a vagu e o pposition to Prohibition. During his presidency, he restored public c onfi dence in the White House after the many scandals of his predecessor' s adm inistration. He signed into law the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 , whic h granted US citizenship to the indigenous peoples of the United S tates , and oversaw a period of rapid and expansive economic growth in th e coun try, known as the "Roaring Twenties", leaving office with consider able po pularity.[5] He was known for his hands-off approach to governin g and fo r his pro-business stances. As a Coolidge biographer wrote: "H e embodie d the spirit and hopes of the middle class, could interpret the ir longing s and express their opinions. That he did represent the geniu s of the ave rage is the most convincing proof of his strength."

Scholars have ranked Coolidge in the lower half of U.S presidents. He ga i ns almost universal praise for his stalwart support of racial equalit y du ring a period of heightened racial tension in the United States, an d is h eavily praised by advocates of smaller government and laissez-fair e econo mics, while supporters of an active central government generall y view hi m far less favorably. His critics argue that he failed to use t he country 's economic boom to help struggling farmers and workers in oth er flailin g industries. There is also still much debate between historia ns as to th e extent Coolidge's economic policies contributed to the onse t of the Gre at Depression. However, it is widely accepted, including b y his own Presi dential Foundation, that the Federal Reserve System unde r his administrat ion was partly responsible for the stock market crash o f 1929 that occurr ed soon after he left office, which signaled the begin ning of the Depress ion.
