Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pennsylvania's Free School Laws of 1834, Vol. 7: And Their Great Defender Thaddeus Stevens; Read Before the Lebanon County Historical Society, June 27, 1917 Thaddeus Stevens, here called the Great Defender of the School Laws of 1834, was not a native of Pennsylvania. By adoption and service he became one of its most useful and distinguished citizens, as well as a national figure, reflecting great credit upon the State.' But no matter how distinguished he might have been in forensic ability and statecraft, the chief purpose of this sketch is to show how persuasive and forceful he was in action at a most critical time, in preventing the repeal of untried school laws, which have placed our Commonwealth in line with other progressive States of the Union. That act alone should cause his memory to be cherished as one of Pennsylvania's greatest men. Thaddeus Stevens was born at Danville, Calledonia county, Vermont, April 4, 1792. He was one of four sons, children of Sally and Joshua Stevens, who had removed to that locality, six years earlier, from Essex County, Massachusetts. The father added to his trade as shoemaker that of surveyor, and for that service received a tract of land in the new country.-which had a cold and rigorous climate. Consequently most of the settlers remained poor, but 'they were very democratic in their feelings. There was no aristocracy of position or wealth, and the greatest equality of every nature prevailed, with much freedom of thought upon every subject. These surroundings were deeply impressed upon young Stevens, causing him to imbibe principles which he never forgot; and which were reflected in all his career.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most controversial figures in nineteenth-century American history, Thaddeus Stevens is best remembered for his role as congressional leader of the radical Republicans and as a chief architect of Reconstruction. Long painted by historians as a vindictive 'dictator of Congress,' out to punish the South at the behest of big business and his own ego, Stevens receives a more balanced treatment in Hans L. Trefousse's biography, which portrays him as an impassioned orator and a leader in the struggle against slavery. Trefousse traces Stevens's career through its major phases: from his days in the Pennsylvania state legislature, when he antagonized Freemasons, slaveholders, and Jacksonian Democrats, to his political involvement during Reconstruction, when he helped author the Fourteenth Amendment and spurred on the passage of the Reconstruction Acts and the impeachment of Andrew Johnson. Throughout, Trefousse explores the motivations for Stevens's lifelong commitment to racial equality, thus furnishing a fuller portrait of the man whose fervent opposition to slavery helped move his more moderate congressional colleagues toward the implementation of egalitarian policies.
