Benjamin Franklin Butler Livres
Benjamin Franklin Butler fut un avocat, homme politique et soldat qui acquit une notoriété pour son rôle pendant la guerre de Sécession américaine. Bien qu'étant souvent une figure controversée, son acuité juridique lui permit d'innover avec des concepts tels que la désignation des esclaves fugitifs comme 'butin de guerre', contribuant ainsi à l'objectif plus large de l'émancipation. Butler devint plus tard influent à la Chambre des représentants, défendant la législation sur les droits civiques et s'opposant aux politiques de Reconstruction du président Andrew Johnson. Sa carrière fut marquée par des triomphes politiques ainsi que par des différends, mais ses initiatives juridiques et législatives laissèrent une empreinte significative.
