Overview
Thaddeus Stevens was among the first to see the Civil War as an opportunity for a second American revolutionāa chance to remake the country as a genuine multiracial democracy. As one of the foremost abolitionists in Congress in the years leading up to the war, he was a leader of the young Republican Partyās radical wing, fighting for anti-slavery and anti-racist policies long before party colleagues like Abraham Lincoln endorsed them. These policiesāincluding welcoming black men into the Unionās armiesāwould prove crucial to the Union war effort.
During the Reconstruction era that followed, Stevens demanded equal civil and political rights for Black Americansārights eventually embodied in the 14th and 15th amendments. But while Stevens in many ways pushed his partyāand Americaātowards equality, he also championed ideas too radical for his fellow Congressmen ever to support, such as confiscating large slaveholdersā estates and dividing the land among those who had been enslaved.
In Thaddeus Stevens, acclaimed historian Bruce Levine has written a āvitalā (The Guardian), ācompellingā (James McPherson) biography of one of the most visionary statesmen of the 19th century and a forgotten champion for racial justice in America.
