Gregory Abel Dunn (April 18th, 1838-August 14th, 1928) was the 17th President of the United States, serving from 1881 to 1885, after assuming office following the assassination of Samuel Tilden. Dunn is known for his involvement of the United States in the Alaskan War, his campaigns against Native Americans in the West, his establishment of a Federal Commerce Commission to oversee the burgeoning railroad industry and for helping pass the Dunn Act, which forbade states from denying naturalized or natural-born American citizens the right to vote based on any discriminatory factor, which helped guarantee the rights of black men to vote, earning him the ire of Southern landowners.
