John Albion Andrew
John Albion Andrew (May 31, 1818 – October 30, 1867) was an American lawyer and politician in Massachusetts. He was elected in 1860 as the 25th Governor of Massachusetts, serving between 1861 and 1866, and led the state's contributions to the Union cause during the American Civil War. He was a guiding force behind the creation of some of the first African-American units in the United States Army, including the famed 54th Massachusetts Infantry.
==Early life and career==
John Albion Andrew was born in Windham, Maine (then a part of Massachusetts) on May 31, 1818, the eldest of four children. His father, Jonathan Andrew, was descended from an early settler of Boxford, Massachusetts, and he was a small but prosperous merchant in Windham. His mother, Nancy Green Pierce, was a teacher at Fryeburg Academy.〔Reno, p. 377〕
Andrew received his primary education first at home, and then at several area boarding schools. After his mother's death in 1832, he attended Gorham Academy in nearby Gorham.〔〔Pearson, pp. 1:7–9〕 During his youth he exhibited talent for both memory and public speaking, memorizing church sermons and recounting them with the same oratorical style in which they were delivered.〔Pearson, pp. 1:10–12〕 He was introduced to early abolitionist writings of William Lloyd Garrison and others.〔Pearson, p. 1:13〕 He entered Bowdoin College in 1833.〔 Although he was studious and popular with other students, he did not shine academically and was ranked near the bottom in his class.〔Pearson, pp. 1:15–23〕
After his graduation in 1837, Andrew moved to Boston to study law under Henry H. Fuller, with whom he became close friends.〔 He was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1840, and began the practice of law.〔Reno, p. 378〕
