#ThomasWentworthHigginson (December 22, 1823 – May 9, 1911) was an American #Unitarian #minister, author, #abolitionist, #politician, and #soldier. He was active in the @American Abolitionism movement during the 1840s and 1850s, identifying himself with #disunion and #militant abolitionism. He was a member of the #SecretSix who supported #JohnBrown. During the #CivilWar, he served as colonel of the #1stSouthCarolinaVolunteers, the first federally authorized #blackregiment, from 1862 to 1864.[1] Following the war, he wrote about his experiences with African American soldiers and devoted much of the rest of his life to fighting for the rights of freed people, women, and other disfranchised peoples.
