abstract
  • Josiah Robert Marks (November 11, 1829 - March 7, 1907) was the 15th President of the United States of America, serving between 1873-1881. He was known as the "Great Negotiator" due to his pushing of Southern states to adopt a more gradual approach to disabling slavery in the wake of the Compromise of 1868. He was regarded as one of the keenest politicians of his day and is often cited among Democrats, especially Southern Democrats, as one of the first great leaders of their party. Besides the Presidency, Marks was one of the most notable members of the Marks political family from the South, serving on three occasions as the Governor of Florida from 1859-61, 1865-69, and 1871-73. He was also a professional lawyer, served as a judge in Florida on three separate occasions, including a stint on the state's Supreme Court, and later in life was the United States Ambassador to Colombia. Marks is often cited as the "First Great Southerner," "the Compassionate Emancipator," or "the First Liberal." Many modern Democrats shy away from celebrating Marks, as his plan to disable slavery was built largely on guarantees to Southern elites that the new economic system would be designed on a more efficient model of exploitation than before. Still, he is often granted the same credit as George Adams and Horatio Seymour in avoiding a civil war, and for his intelligent and cautioned approach to foreign policy.
