Charles Sumner
Charles Sumner is an American politician and a United States Senator from Massachusetts. An academic lawyer and powerful orator, Sumner was the leader of the state's anti-slavery force and leader of the Radical Republican Party in the United States Senate during the American Civil War. During the reconstruction process, he fought to downsize the former allies and ensure equal rights for those who were free. He fell into a dispute with President Ulysses Grant, a fellow Republican, over control of Santo Domingo which led to the removal of his power in the Senate and his subsequent attempt to defeat Grant for re-election. Sumner changed political parties several times when anti-slavery coalitions arose and collapsed in the 1830s and 1840s before merging in the 1850s as the Republican Party, the coalition he is best known .
