    Lyman Trumbull and Gustave Koerner: Allies for Freedom

    Lyman Trumbull and Gustave Koerner: Allies for Freedom Jack W. LeChien Illinois Senator Lyman Trumbull, a lawyer who crafted the Thirteenth Amendment banning slavery and other key civil rights legislation during the Civil War, honed his legal and political skills while living in Belleville, Illinois, from 1837 to 1849. During that period he also would create relationships with Gustave Koerner and James Shields that would last the rest of his life. The three men would also have an impact on the career of Abraham Lincoln. Trumbull was born in 1813, in Colchester, Connecticut, taught school in Greenville, South Carolina, for three years and then read law under the tutelage of a Georgia judge. He came to Belleville in 1837, with letters of introduction to present to Democrat Congressman Adam Snyder, who had a law office in the northwest corner of the Belleville Public Square. (1) Snyder, apparently, was not looking for an addition to his firm as he had already partnered with Gustave Koerner and James Shields. The careers of Trumbull, Koerner and Shields would intersect in court and politics for the next several decades. Trumbull “became associated in law practice with former Governor John Reynolds. Reynolds was the most distinguished citizen of Belleville and of Illinois. He was a former Illinois Supreme Court Judge, assemblyman, governor and a member of the U.S. House of Representatives”. (2) Reynolds decision to take on Trumbull was a “recognition of the young man’s unusual ability “ that caused Reynolds “to entrust his law business to an unknown twenty-four year old lawyer.

    Lyman Trumbull: Author of the Thirteenth Amendment, Author of the Civil Rights Act, and the First Second Amendment Lawyer

    KOPEL (1117–1192).DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 5/2/16 4:20 PM Lyman Trumbull: Author of the Thirteenth Amendment, Author of the Civil Rights Act, and the First Second Amendment Lawyer David B. Kopel* This Article provides the first legal biography of lawyer and Senator Lyman Trumbull, one of the most important lawyers and politicians of the nineteenth century. Early in his career, as the leading anti-slavery lawyer in Illinois in the 1830s, he won the cases constricting and then abolishing slavery in that state; six decades later, Trumbull represented imprisoned labor leader Eugene Debs in the Supreme Court, and wrote the Populist Party platform. In between, Trumbull helped found the Republican Party, and served three U.S. Senate terms, chairing the judiciary committee. One of the greatest leaders of America’s “Second Founding,” Trumbull wrote the Thirteenth Amendment, the Civil Rights Act, and the Freedmen’s Bureau Act. The latter two were expressly intended to protect the Second Amendment rights of former slaves. Another Trumbull law, the Second Confiscation Act, was the first federal statute to providing for arming freedmen. After leaving the Senate, Trumbull continued his fight for arms rights for workingmen, bringing Presser v. Illinois to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1886, and Dunne v. Illinois to the Illinois Supreme Court in 1879. His 1894 Populist Party platform was a fiery affirmation of Second Amendment principles. In the decades following the end of President James Madison’s Administration in 1817, no American lawyer or legislator did as much as Trumbull in defense of Second Amendment.

    CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present

    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.
  • Morris Birkbeck's Estimate of the People of Princeton in 1817

    Morris Birkbeck's Estimate of the People of Princeton in 1817

    Morris Birkbeck’s Estimate of the People of Princeton in 1817 By LUCIUSC. EMBREE. A paper read at the meeting of the Southwestern Indiana Historical Society, May 27, 1925, at Newburg. It is a matter challenging the notice of the people of south- western Indiana, and especially of those of them who are descended from the pioneers of the early years of the nine- teenth century, that, on the part of the biographers of Abra- ham Lincoln, apparently very little effort has been made to ascertain the degree that the development of his nature and character was infiuenced by his environment, and associa- tions, during the fourteen years that he spent as a boy and young man in Spencer County and the surrounding localities. The attitude seems to have been that Lincoln’s contacts and associations during this period were negligible, and the im- pression conveyed by some of them is that the people of south- western Indiana, at that day, were ignorant, uncouth and lawless. In view of this attitude, and of the impression which it engenders in the minds of the readers of these productions, it behooves the good peop!e of the locality in question, and those of them especially who are the descendants of the pioneers, to take up arms in defense of the character and qualities of those who have gone before them. Persistence in ignoring, and misrepresenting, the people with whom the boy Lincoln came in contact in his early years, while he was growing from child- hood to man’s estate in this region, and in conveying the im- pression that these people were ignorant, uncouth and lawless, not only becomes tiresome, but demonstrates that those who have assumed to portray the life of Lincoln, and to define the process by which he became the man he was, have been want- ing in industry, and have neglected one of the most promising fields of inquiry.
  • Former Governors of Illinois

    Former Governors of Illinois

    FORMER GOVERNORS OF ILLINOIS Shadrach Bond (D-R*) — 1818-1822 Illinois’ first Governor was born in Maryland and moved to the North - west Territory in 1794 in present-day Monroe County. Bond helped organize the Illinois Territory in 1809, represented Illinois in Congress and was elected Governor without opposition in 1818. He was an advo- cate for a canal connecting Lake Michigan and the Illinois River, as well as for state education. A year after Bond became Gov ernor, the state capital moved from Kaskaskia to Vandalia. The first Illinois Constitution prohibited a Governor from serving two terms, so Bond did not seek reelection. Bond County was named in his honor. He is buried in Chester. (1773- 1832) Edward Coles (D-R*) — 1822-1826 The second Illinois Governor was born in Virginia and attended William and Mary College. Coles inherited a large plantation with slaves but did not support slavery so he moved to a free state. He served as private secretary under President Madison for six years, during which he worked with Thomas Jefferson to promote the eman- cipation of slaves. He settled in Edwardsville in 1818, where he helped free the slaves in the area. As Governor, Coles advocated the Illinois- Michigan Canal, prohibition of slavery and reorganization of the state’s judiciary. Coles County was named in his honor. He is buried in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (1786-1868) Ninian Edwards (D-R*) — 1826-1830 Before becoming Governor, Edwards was appointed the first Governor of the Illinois Territory by President Madison, serving from 1809 to 1818. Born in Maryland, he attended college in Pennsylvania, where he studied law, and then served in a variety of judgeships in Kentucky.
