"South Carolina is preparing to put up its first individual statue for an African American on its Statehouse lawn, honoring a man who put on Confederate clothes in order to steal a slaveholder’s ship and sail his family and a dozen others to freedom during the Civil War.

But Robert Smalls isn’t just being honored for his audacious escape. He spent a decade in the US House, helped rewrite South Carolina’s constitution to allow Black men equality after the Civil War and then put up a valiant but doomed fight when racists returned to power and eliminated nearly all of the gains Smalls fought for.

State Rep. Jermaine Johnson can’t wait to bring his children to the Statehouse to finally see someone who is Black like them being honored.

“The man has done so many great things, it’s just a travesty he has not been honored until now. Heck, it’s also a travesty there isn’t some big Hollywood movie out there about his life,” said Johnson, a Democrat from a district just a few miles from the Statehouse.

The idea for a statue to Smalls has been percolating for years. But there was always quiet opposition preventing a bill from getting a hearing. That changed in 2024 as the proposal made it unanimously through the state House and Senate on the back of Republican Rep. Brandon Cox of Goose Creek.

“South Carolina is a great state. We’ve got a lot of history, good and bad. This is our good history,” Cox said.

What will the Robert Smalls memorial look like?

The bill created a special committee that has until January 15 to come up with a design, a location on the Statehouse lawn and the money to pay for whatever memorial they choose.

But supporters face a challenging question: What best honors Smalls?

If it’s just one statue, is it best to honor the steel-nerved ship pilot who waited for all the white crew to leave, then mimicked hand signals and whistle toots to get through Confederate checkpoints, while hoping Confederate soldiers didn’t notice a Black man under the hat in the pale moonlight in May 1862?

Or would a more fitting tribute to Smalls be to recognize the statesman who served in the South Carolina House and Senate and the US House after the Civil War? Smalls bought his master’s house in Beaufort in part with money made for turning the Confederate ship over to Union forces, then allowed the man’s penniless wife to live there when she was widowed.

Or is the elder Smalls who fought for education for all and to keep the gains African Americans made during the Civil War the man most worth publicly memorializing? Smalls would see a new constitution in 1895 wipe out African Americans’ right to vote. He was fired from his federal customs collector job in 1913 when then President Woodrow Wilson purged a large number of Black men out of government jobs.

Or would it be best to combine them all in some way? That’s how Republican Rep. Chip Campsen, an occasional ship pilot himself, sees honoring one of his favorite South Carolinians.

“The best way to sum up Robert Smalls’ life is it was a fight for freedom as a slave, as a pilot and as a statesman,” Campsen said."

William Howard Taft

Physique: Heavy-set Build Height: 6'

William Howard Taft (September 15, 1857 – March 8, 1930; aged 72) was the 27th president of the United States and the tenth chief justice of the United States, the only person to have held both offices. Taft was elected president in 1908 as a Republican but was defeated for reelection in 1912 by Democratic nominee Woodrow Wilson. In 1921, President Warren G. Harding appointed Taft to be chief justice, a position he held until 1930.

Taft is generally listed near the middle in historians’ rankings of U.S. presidents. But to me, he’s top 10 looks whys. Just check out that body. And trust me, I haveTaft was a big boy with a big ass. Topping the scales at over 350 pounds, Taft was the heftiest man ever to occupy the Oval Office. And if you don’t know by now. I love a big man. I bet he would have been a great bottom.

Born in Cincinnati, Ohio, Taft attended Yale where he was the class salutatorian. After becoming a lawyer, Taft was appointed a judge while still in his twenties, continuing a rapid rise, being named solicitor general and a judge of the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. In 1901, President William McKinley appointed Taft civilian governor of the Philippines. In 1904, President Theodore Roosevelt made him Secretary of War, and he became Roosevelt's hand-picked successor.

With Roosevelt's help, Taft had little opposition for the Republican nomination for president in 1908 and easily defeated William Jennings Bryan for the presidency in that November's election. Taft served only one term as president. He was renominated in 1912, but his former ally, Theodore Roosevelt, split off to launch his own candidacy under the banner of the Bull Moose Party. The result divided the Republican vote and Woodrow Wilson (the Democratic candidate) was elected. The split left Taft with little chance of reelection, and he took only Utah and Vermont in Wilson's victory.

Nicknamed Big Bill, he and his wife Helen Louise (known as Nellie) had three children that they named Robert, Helen, and Charles. A sheer waste as a straight man. You know the sex he got would never have been that good.

After leaving office, Taft returned to Yale as a professor. In 1921, Harding appointed Taft chief justice, an office he had long sought. Chief Justice Taft was a conservative on business issues, and under him there were advances in individual rights. In poor health, he resigned in February 1930, and died the following month. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery, the first president and first Supreme Court justice to be interred there.

Using my AU to vent some election frustrations and anxiety. 1912 saw the end of the progressive era after all with the woodrow wilson presidency, the first southern since the civil war to become president, and he was very much a lost cause supporter.

I do want to clarify that Woodrow was a much more progressive president for his time than our current elect(which is fucking sad all things considered), by a longshot, I don’t want to diss him unduly because he did help out a lot of people in unions and protect workers from trusts and was generally not antagonistic to immigrants, vetoing several anti immigrant bills. He did a lot of things early in his presidency that were upsetting to marginalized people however, such as supporting anti immigrant sentiments towards south asians, being pro segregation, endorsing birth of a nation, believing women voting was a states rights issue, and being buddies with a lot of white supremicists. His election would’ve been scary for a lot of people at first, so I’m sort of venting my current worries through them aswell as disappointment at this nation not being so progressive as i thought. Hope this helps bring others catharsis. Take heart in knowing that other people felt similar fears over 100 years ago, and that we can fight back and take care of ourselves.

American politicians edition!

Sorry about the deletion of the original poll folks. I posted it before changing the time to a week. Sorry to that one person that voted and anyone who was about to vote.

Please add the reason you chose that specific person in the reblogs. I love to see everyone’s responses.

I’ve read fanfiction of some of these people. I know most of these are presidents as well because despite studying American history I didn’t add everyone I was planning to because of the poll answer limit. I might do a part two with more American politicians/presidents. I’m not sure though because most of my interest in history is towards the Wars of the Roses and Tudor era.

Is George the most common name among presidents?

No, it's "Rutherford". Just kidding, it's "James".

James: 6 (James Madison; James Monroe; James K. Polk; James Buchanan; James Garfield; and, James Earl "Jimmy" Carter)

John: 5 (John Adams; John Quincy Adams; John Tyler; [John] Calvin Coolidge; and, John F. Kennedy)

William: 4 (William Henry Harrison; William McKinley; William Howard Taft; and, William Jefferson "Bill" Clinton)

George: 3 (George Washington; George H.W. Bush; and, George W. Bush)

(TIE) Andrew/Thomas/Franklin: 2 (Andrew Jackson and Andrew Johnson; Thomas Jefferson and [Thomas] Woodrow Wilson; Franklin Pierce and Franklin D. Roosevelt)

The Hepburn Act killed regulated the railroad industry to death. Private railroads couldn't survive, and we're left with the government rails you see today.

Continued McKinley's Philippine-American War that exacerbated American imperialism and caused the deaths of 200,000 to 1 million Filipino civilians

Huge protectionist in a time where international trade was vital and expanding most rapidly

Loved unions and regulating industries

Pushed for income tax, laid the groundwork for Woodrow Wilson to establish income tax and federal reserve

Illegally gave congress the power to own the majority of the land in the west. Some might see this as a positive but I think private parks are generally superior to national parks.

I know Teddy is beloved by a lot of people, including conservatives. He's a manly man, loves nature, is charismatic. "Speak softly and carry a big stick." He finished his speech after being shot. I admire that.

But he was a socialist-lite, and the beginning of the modern "progressive" left. A habitual user of executive orders, Teddy felt congressional approval was merely a suggestion. He was only supportive of selective personal liberties - generally the things he and the progressives believed were the freedoms some individuals should be allowed to enjoy under their supervision as well as in context of a greater obligation to the nation as a whole. He believed in collective power over personal liberty and dressed it up in a quaint justification to deliver justice and equality to “the people.”

An excerpt on his legacy from the Miller Center of Public Affairs reads:

He made the President, rather than the political parties or Congress, the center of American politics. Roosevelt did this through the force of his personality and through aggressive executive action. He thought that the President had the right to use any and all powers unless they were specifically denied to him. He believed that as President, he had a unique relationship with and responsibility to the people, and therefore wanted to challenge prevailing notions of limited government and individualism; government, he maintained, should serve as an agent of reform for the people. His presidency endowed the progressive movement with credibility, lending the prestige of the White House to welfare legislation, government regulation, and the conservation movement.

"I find [Roosevelt] naively indifferent to the restraints of duty and even unaware of them; ready to kick the Constitution into the back yard whenever it gets in the way; and whenever he smells a vote, not only willing but eager to buy it, give extravagant rates for it and pay the bill not out of his own pocket or the party's, but out of the nation's, by cold pillage.

Record Group 46: Records of the U.S. SenateSeries: Berryman Political Cartoon Collection

During World War I, the government had seized control of the nation's railroads as part of the effort to shift the economy to wartime production causing railroad workers to be chafed under provisions of the seizure that restricted wage increases. After long debates both houses of Congress approved a railroad bill which would denationalize ownership, and that bill was sent to President Woodrow Wilson for his approval. Representatives of the railway workers unions were debating whether to urge Wilson to veto the bill because of its labor provisions. Berryman shows that the decision is now up to the President. The railroad bill caricature, with top hat in hand and O.K. stamps from both the House and the Senate on his frock coat, rings the doorbell at the White House.
