Poet and politician, essayist and diplomat, general and lawyer, this multidimensional scion of a Newburyport, Massachusetts, mercantile family moved in and out of positions of power and influence for more than fifty years. First as a spokesman for the Whig and then the Democratic Parties, Cushing served in Congress, as the minister to China, as a general in the Mexican War, as U.S. attorney general, and as a legal adviser and diplomatic operative for Presidents Lincoln, Johnson, and Grant. With an unharnessed mind and probing intellect, Cushing inspired and infuriated contemporaries with his strident views on such topics as race relations and gender roles, national expansion and the legitimacy of secession. While his positions generated arguments and garnered enemies, his views often mirrored those of many Americans. His abilities and talents sustained him in public service and made him one of the most outstanding and fascinating figures of the era. Biographer John Belohlavek delivers a work of importance and originality to specialists in the areas of mid-nineteenth-century political, legal, and diplomatic history as well as to those interested in New England history, antebellum gender relations, civil-military relations, and Mexican War studies |

Poet and politician, essayist and diplomat, general and lawyer, this multidimensional scion of a Newburyport, Massachusetts, mercantile family moved in and out of positions of power and influence for more than fifty years. First as a spokesman for the Whig and then the Democratic Parties, Cushing served in Congress, as the minister to China, as a general in the Mexican War, as U.S. attorney general, and as a legal adviser and diplomatic operative for Presidents Lincoln, Johnson, and Grant. With an unharnessed mind and probing intellect, Cushing inspired and infuriated contemporaries with his strident views on such topics as race relations and gender roles, national expansion and the legitimacy of secession. While his positions generated arguments and garnered enemies, his views often mirrored those of many Americans. His abilities and talents sustained him in public service and made him one of the most outstanding and fascinating figures of the era. Biographer John Belohlavek delivers a work of importance and originality to specialists in the areas of mid-nineteenth-century political, legal, and diplomatic history as well as to those interested in New England history, antebellum gender relations, civil-military relations, and Mexican War studies Cushing, Caleb / 1800-1879 fast Cushing, Caleb / 1800-1879 Cushing, Caleb 1800-1879 United States / Congress / House fast Mexican War (1846-1848) fast United States / Congress / House United States Congress House Biography USA Congress (DE-588)35622-0 gnd rswk-swf 1775 - 1865 fast BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Historical bisacsh HISTORY / United States / 19th Century bisacsh BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / General bisacsh Attorneys general fast Diplomats fast Legislators fast Political science fast Politicians fast Politische Wissenschaft Legislators United States Biography Politicians Massachusetts Biography Mexican War, 1846-1848 Biography Diplomats United States Biography Diplomats China Biography Attorneys general United States Biography Abgeordneter (DE-588)4000135-0 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content 1\p (DE-588)1071854844 Fiktionale Darstellung gnd-content USA Congress (DE-588)35622-0 b Abgeordneter (DE-588)4000135-0 s 2\p DE-604 http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=493331 Aggregator Volltext 1\p sdnb2form 20231122 DE-101 ttps://www.bib-bvb.de/rovenienzkennzeichnungen/Uebersicht.html#sdnb2form 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
