Matthew Lyon is an Irish and American printer, farmer, soldier, and politician who served as the United States' representative of Vermont and Kentucky. Lyon represented Vermont in Congress from 1797 to 1801 and Kentucky from 1803 to 1811. His term in Congress was unstable. He fights with a congressman and is jailed for violating the Seduction Act, winning re-election to Congress from his cell. Lyon's trial, conviction, and detention strengthened his position in the fledgling Democratic-Republican Party as a martyr for free speech.
