Philip Coit (9h 15min, jan 19, 1939 y – 9h 14min, jan 19, 1943 y)

Description:

Coit was all but hand-selected by President Johnson as his successor after serving two terms. Coit had Republican and Progressive credentials, but lacked the leadership capacity and moral authority enjoyed by the charismatic and popular Johnson.

Coit's time in the White House saw an increase in communist activity, unionization, and several forms of Black political advancement, especially in the South. The question of Black power split the Republican party (though the majority remained nominally liberal) and as the struggle and its backlash continued, White society became enraged.

The ineffectiveness of the Republicans in dealing with the rising revaunchism fueled its worst reactions and eventually Democratic and many other voters along the spectrum were enveloped by the sudden arrival of the National Union and its "social justice" platform.

In 1942, President Coit fulfilled his obligation to the tradtional oath of his grand old party - and sealed his fate - by intervening in ethnic relocation and gerrymandering being undertaken by a threatened Democratic government in half-black/half-white Mississippi. The watershed moment led to a new quasi-civil-war until the rise of President Hallgren, who used the resolution of the crisis in Mississippi as proof of executive authority in his own time.
