I'm always down for a Calvin Coolidge defense! Not nearly enough Coolidge defenders running around. Tbh I know almost nothing about him. I happened to read about Harding recently, and was struck at how much perceptions of him changed after his death - I think largely because Democrats won the information war in the '30s and '40s. There have been some attempts to rehabilitate Harding, which I haven't read. I'm sure the case for Coolidge is even stronger - he presided over about as great a period in American history as there has ever been. I'm not sure to what extent the Wall Street crash can be laid at his fee - which is sort of the Rooseveltian perspective.
