Omschrijving

Charles Sumner: American Statesman is a biography written by Moorfield Storey that tells the story of one of the most important figures in American politics during the mid-19th century. Charles Sumner was a prominent abolitionist and senator from Massachusetts who played a key role in the fight against slavery and the Civil War. The book covers Sumner's life from his early years in Boston to his rise as a leading voice in the anti-slavery movement. Storey delves into Sumner's political career, including his election to the Senate in 1851 and his role in passing the Homestead Act and the Emancipation Proclamation. The book also explores Sumner's personal life, including his relationships with his family and friends, as well as his struggles with health issues and personal tragedies. Storey provides a detailed account of Sumner's political battles, including his famous confrontation with Senator Preston Brooks, who physically attacked him on the Senate floor. Overall, Charles Sumner: American Statesman provides a comprehensive and engaging portrait of one of America's most influential political figures. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the United States and the fight for civil rights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
