Deutsch: Thaddeus Stevens (*
4. April1792 in
Danville,
Vermont, †
11. August1868 in
Washington, D.C.), auch bekannt als "Der große einfache Bürger" ("The Great Commoner"), war ein außerordentlich radikaler
Republikaner und
Anwalt, bekannt für die Verteidigung geflohener
Sklaven. Nachdem er
1814 das
Dartmouth College absolviert hatte, ging er nach
York, wo er an einer Schule unterrichtete und Recht studierte. Nach seiner Approbation als Anwalt, etablierte er
1815 eine erfolgreiche Anwaltskanzlei, erst in
Gettysburg und später in
Lancaster.
English: Thaddeus Stevens (
April 4,
1792 –
August 11,
1868), was a member of the
United States House of Representatives from
Pennsylvania. He was the powerful leader of the
Radical Republicans during the
American Civil War and
Reconstruction. His biographer characterizes him as, "The Great Commoner, savior of free public education in Pennsylvania, national Republican leader in the struggles against slavery in the United States and intrepid mainstay of the attempt to secure racial justice for the freedmen during Reconstruction, the only member of the House of Representatives ever to have been known, even if mistakenly, as the 'dictator' of Congress."
Mathew Brady died in 1896 and Levin C. Handy died in 1932. Photographs in this collection are in the public domain in the United States as works published before 1929 or as unpublished works whose copyright term has expired (life of author + 70 years).
