Warren G. Harding

Warren G. Harding - Wikipedia

As Presidents Day rolls around, we take the time to appreciate presidents that changed our nation like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. But what about Presidents who aren’t as well known, shouldn’t we take the time to appreciate them too? Take, for example, former President Warren G. Harding. Harding was a pioneer in utilizing technology and acknowledged the struggles of women and minorities. But, his presidency was also laced with controversy. During his time in the oval office, President Harding’s secretary of the Interior, Albert Bacon Fall secretly moved government oil to 2 large oil tycoons. Fall later became the first cabinet member to be imprisoned during his time in office. Pressure from this scandal eventually caused Warren to die while he was still in office. Rumors later arose that his wife poisoned him.
