He was deeply interested in the political life and reform movements of his adopted country. Two of his brothers served in the Union army during the civil war, and one of them was killed on the field of battle. He himself was only restrained from a soldier's career by the necessity for one member of the family remaining at home to support it. With voice and pen he upheld the cause of human liberty and the preservation of the Union.
He was especially interested in the domestic, socialand industrial emancipation and political enfranchise ment of the women of America.
