Thaddeus Stevens is a biography written by Samuel W. McCall about the life and political career of Thaddeus Stevens. Stevens was a prominent figure in American politics during the mid-19th century, serving as a member of the House of Representatives and as a leader of the Radical Republicans during the Civil War and Reconstruction eras. The book begins with Stevens' early life and education, and goes on to detail his rise to political power in Pennsylvania and his role in shaping national policy during the tumultuous years leading up to and following the Civil War. McCall provides a detailed analysis of Stevens' views on slavery, civil rights, and economic policy, as well as his relationships with other key figures of the era, including Abraham Lincoln and Andrew Johnson. Throughout the book, McCall offers a nuanced portrait of Stevens, exploring both his strengths and weaknesses as a politician and as a human being. He also provides a vivid depiction of the political and social climate of the time, offering readers a window into the complex and often fraught world of American politics during this transformative period in the nation's history. Overall, Thaddeus Stevens is a comprehensive and engaging biography that offers readers a rich and detailed look at one of the most important figures in American political history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
