Charles Sumner

    Charles Sumner profilierte sich als angesehener akademischer Anwalt und Redner, der die antisegregationistischen Kräfte in Massachusetts anführte. Als führende Figur im Senat der Vereinigten Staaten setzte er sich während des Bürgerkriegs für die Radikalen Republikaner ein und trieb die Zerstörung der Konföderation sowie die Befreiung aller Sklaven voran. In der Zeit des Wiederaufbaus konzentrierte sich Sumner darauf, die Macht der ehemaligen Konföderierten zu schwächen und gleiche Rechte für die befreiten Sklaven zu gewährleisten, was ihn zu einer Schlüsselfigur im Kampf für Bürgerrechte machte.
