Charles Sumner

    Charles Sumner si distinse come un influente avvocato accademico e oratore, guidando le forze abolizioniste in Massachusetts. Come figura di spicco nel Senato degli Stati Uniti, fu un leader dei Repubblicani Radicali durante la Guerra Civile, lavorando per distruggere la Confederazione e liberare tutti gli schiavi. Durante la Ricostruzione, Sumner si impegnò con vigore per ridurre il potere degli ex-confederati e garantire pari diritti ai liberti, lasciando un segno indelebile nella lotta per la giustizia sociale.
