Thomas Brackett Reed (1839–1902) was served as the President of the United States in the late Nineteenth Century. He was lionized as a hero of the Remembrance culture that controlled the country in the period between the Second Mexican War and the Great War. As president, Reed pledged to support Haiti's continued independence, refusing to allow the Confederate States to invade the island by entering into a treaty to protect Haiti from any C.S. attack.[1] Reed's face appears on the American half dollar coin.[2]
