Search ( Enter the name of an historical figure, event or issue) Full text search William Howard Taft William Howard Taft was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, the son of a prominent attorney who had served in the Grant cabinet and later as American minister to Russia and Austria-Hungary. Taft graduated from Yale University in 1878 and earned a law degree from the Cincinnati Law School two years later. Due largely to his father's influence, he was appointed an assistant prosecuting attorney for Hamilton County. He worked briefly for the Internal Revenue Service before opening a law practice in 1883. Taft married Helen Herron in 1886. She was a very important influence on his life, providing the drive and ambition he lacked. She had promised herself early in life that she would some day be First Lady. In 1887, Taft was appointed to fill a vacancy on the Ohio superior court and was elected to that position the following year. In 1890, the Tafts moved to Washington, where he became solicitor general in the Benjamin Harrison administration. During these years, Taft became a friend and lunch partner of

President Woodrow Wilson: Address to the Convention of 1916 A scant six years before Woodrow Wilson gave the moving address reprinted below, William Howard Taft had made the first presidential appearance before the National American Woman Suffrage Association Convention. Wilson's speech presents a remarkable contrast to Taft's. Though his last word is "wait," an unacceptable suggestion to those who had been working hard for so many years, Wilson makes his respect and admiration clear. Madam President, Ladies of the Association: I have found it a real privilege to be here tonight and to listen to the addresses which you have heard. Though you may not all of you believe it, I would a great deal rather hear somebody else speak than speak myself, but I would feel that I was omitting a duty if I did not address you tonight and say some of the things that have been in my thoughts as I realized the approach of this evening and the duty that would fall upon me. The astonishing thing about the movement which you represent is not that it has grown so slowly but that it has grown so rapidly. No doubt for those who have been a long time in the struggle, like your honored president, it seems a long and arduous path that has been trodden, but when you think of the cumulating force of the movement in recent decades you must agree with me that it is one of the most astonishing tides in modern history. Two generations agono doubt Madam President will agree with me in saying thisit was a handful of women who were fighting for this cause; now it is a great multitude of women who are fighting for it. There are some interesting historical connections which I should like to attempt to point out to you.

He was expected to continue Roosevelt's policies, and to a large extent he did. Trusts were vigorously prosecuted under the Sherman Antitrust Act Monroe Doctrine . The emphasis in all these policies had, however, changed. In Latin America, for instance, the accent was on protection of property and interests of Americans abroad rather than on national interest. Members of the Republican party who favored progressive policies were increasingly restive, and the Insurgents movement grew strong.

88. National Park Service History: Historical Themes In America - Government: Presid Thomas Jefferson began a series of improvements to the Executive Mansion in1807 while president with the help of architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe. http://www.cr.nps.gov/history/categrs/govn6.htm

Government: Presidents President's Park (The White House) Work on the White House began in 1792 on a site specifically chosen by George Washington. Its designer, an Irishman named James Hoban, won a design competition which awarded the architect a gold medal worth $500 for his efforts. The mansion's first occupants were John Adams and his family, who moved into the still incomplete residence in 1800. John Adams was father to John Quincy Adams and the grandfather to Henry Adams who lived across the Square from the White House in the last nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Thomas Jefferson began a series of improvements to the Executive Mansion in 1807 while President with the help of architect Benjamin Henry Latrobe. The building has endured a number of changes since then, including a near destructive burning by the British in 1814. President's Park (The White House) is a Georgian masterpiece, loosely based on Dublin's Leinster House and James Gibb's Book of Architecture. Landscaping is based on the Olmstad brother 1936 design for the Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration. While the mansion is referred to as the White House because of its white paint, it was President Theodore Roosevelt who first used the name in an official capacity. Prior to that, the building was simply known as the Executive Mansion.

WEEKLY COLUMN FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE 18, 2001 PROTECTING SOUTHWEST OHIO’S PROUD HISTORY WASHINGTON, DC —Southwest Ohio has played an important part in our nation’s history. One particularly significant role was in the Underground Railroad – a connection of secret escape routes to freedom traveled by African-American slaves in the mid-1800's. It’s an inspiring story of blacks and whites working together to achieve freedom. Because of Southwest Ohio’s location and the anti-slavery sentiment shared by many of its residents, many communities in our area became stations for the “railroad.” To help preserve and link these important landmarks, many of which are in danger of being lost, I co-authored legislation to create the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. This Network, which is administered by the National Park Service, is charged with the recognition and preservation of key historic National Underground Railroad sites, in our area and around the country. The Park Service is in the process of announcing the first sites to be included in the Network. Not surprisingly, one of its first choices was the John P. Parker House in Ripley, Ohio. The Parker House was home to John Parker, a former slave who settled in Ripley in the 1850s. Risking death or imprisonment, he returned to the South to lead more than 1,000 slaves to freedom. Parker was also a successful inventor and entrepreneur, eventually building and running the Phoenix Foundry and Machine Company in Ripley.

You are in: Museum of History Hall of USA US Presidents William H. Taft William H. Taft 37th President of the United States 27th under the US Constitution WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT was born September 15, 1857 in Cincinnati, Ohio. Both of his parents were descendants of old New England families of British origin. His father, Alphonso Taft, a native of Vermont and the son of a judge, had moved to Cincinnati in 1837 to practice law and later served as judge in Ohio, secretary of war and as attorney general under President Ulysses S. Grant. His mother, Louise Torrey Taft, came to Ohio from Massachusetts years later as Alphonso's second wife. Traditions revering education and public service ran strong in the family, and young Taft strove to emulate and exceed his father’s example. Taft received his early education at the local Cincinnati schools, where he was an intelligent student. In 1874 he entered Yale, where he was both successful and popular. When he graduated in 1878, he ranked second in his class. After graduation, he went home to Cincinnati, which was the political base for the Taft family through several generations, to attend the Cincinnati Law School. He graduated in 1880 and passed the Ohio bar the same year. Only a few months passed between his graduation from law school and his first public appointment as assistant prosecutor of Hamilton County, Ohio, in 1881. The next year he was appointed Cincinnati's collector of internal revenue, but later resigned to pursue a private law practice. He practiced law in Cincinnati from 1883 to 1887. In 1885 Taft returned to public service as assistant county solicitor in Hamilton County.
