he'd have the face of disappointment.

Well, more along the lines of 'I tried, won and died for this? Look what you people have become.'

an honest face? don't you believe it.
though he was the first last and only republican u.s. president ever to have been worth a dam
he was also a corporate lawyer. maybe one of the first. he didn't go straight from a candle lit log cabin to the white house, legends aside.
but he DID do a LOT of good, that most people don't know or think about, besides what we're taught in school,
getting railroads built, helping them over the legal obsticals to getting built. he also represented sometimes suits against them.
