For the US presidential election of 1884, many Republicans believed that US Civil War hero, General William T. Sherman would be an excellent candidate. Sherman had recently retired from the military. When he learned of the movement to draft him into the 1884 presidential election he said these famous words: " If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve."These famous words live on in US politics.
