Roscoe Conkling

1800sAmericans
Written By Heather Rogers, presidential doodler

  • Tammany Hall boss

  • Super-corrupt; once had Chester Arthur drag a James Garfield appointee out of bed to make him quit his post

  • I did eventually stumble on one redeeming thing about him — he supported Blanche K. Bruce, a formerly enslaved man who took Jefferson Davis’ seat (more on this at some point)

I’ve read at least one book about every U.S. president, never tire of shoehorning presidential trivia into conversations, and am basically an expert at hiding mistakes in my sketchbooks.
