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. 410 0$aCivil War in the North. 606 $aLegislators$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aPoliticians$zMassachusetts$vBiography 606 $aMexican War, 1846-1848$vBiography 606 $aDiplomats$zUnited States$vBiography 606 $aDiplomats$zChina$vBiography 606 $aAttorneys general$zUnited States$vBiography 607 $aMassachusetts$xPolitics and government$y1775-1865 607 $aUnited States$xPolitics and government$y1815-1861 615 0$aLegislators 615 0$aPoliticians 615 0$aMexican War, 1846-1848 615 0$aDiplomats 615 0$aDiplomats 615 0$aAttorneys general 676 $a973.5/092 676 $aB 700 $aBelohlavek$b John M$01870331 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961430903321 996 $aBroken glass$94478742 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02739nam 2200577 a 450 001 9910957540203321 005 20251116232416.0 010 $a1-4356-2695-8 035 $a(CKB)1000000000482867 035 $a(OCoLC)213478974 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10210704 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000104922 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11127866 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000104922 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10086259 035 $a(PQKB)10257015 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3118166 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3118166 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10210704 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000482867 100 $a20070829d2007 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aApproaching Yehud $enew approaches to the study of the Persian period /$fedited by Jon L.
