Benjamin Franklin Butler Libri
Benjamin Franklin Butler fu un avvocato, politico e soldato che ottenne prominenza per il suo ruolo durante la Guerra Civile Americana. Sebbene spesso una figura controversa, la sua acuta intelligenza legale gli permise di essere pioniere di concetti innovativi, come la designazione degli schiavi fuggitivi come 'contrabbando di guerra', contribuendo all'obiettivo più ampio dell'emancipazione. Butler divenne successivamente influente alla Camera dei Rappresentanti, sostenendo leggi sui diritti civili e opponendosi alle politiche di Ricostruzione del presidente Andrew Johnson. La sua carriera fu segnata sia da trionfi politici che da dispute, ma le sue iniziative legali e legislative lasciarono un segno significativo.
