He was one of the most racist presidents we've ever had. He's responsible for the rewriting of history books to remove all prominent black persons. He replaced them with a extremely racist caricature depicting them as little better than apes. He was president of Princeton at the time and his history books were widely distributed based off the reputation of Princeton. Which is truly a shame because there were several books written by his contemporaries that highlighted prominent blacks and their influence in the country. Instead those got buried and are only found in a few museums today. When he became President of the US he fired every person of color that worked in the white house except one to act as the token black person.
