- A tributary, or an affluent, is a stream or river that flows into a larger stream (main stem or “parent”), river, or a lake. A tributary does not flow directly into a sea or ocean. Tributaries, and the main stem river into which they flow, drain the surrounding drainage basin of its surface water and groundwater, leading the water out into an ocean.

Rumor has it that he won his presidency as part of a backroom deal: Hayes ends Reconstruction, he gets to be president. This led his critics to nickname him “Rutherfraud”. (The B stands for “Birchard”)
