Sherman Booth
Sherman Booth (September 25, 1812 – August 10, 1904) was an abolitionist, editor and politician in Wisconsin, and was instrumental in forming the Liberty Party, the Free Soil Party and the Republican Party. He became known nationally after helping instigate a jailbreak for a runaway slave in violation of the Fugitive Slave Act.
==Early life and education==
Born in Davenport, New York, he was raised in an area of western New York known for various religious and reform movements. His father was against slavery. He attended (and later taught) at nearby Jefferson Academy. By 1837 he was a traveling speaker and organizer for the New York Temperance Society. He earned a reputation as a persuasive and booming orator. In 1838 he began attending Yale University and proved an exceptional student. He repeatedly declined financial aid, choosing instead to support himself with his continued teaching.〔Diane S. Butler. "The Public Life and Private Affairs of Sherman M. Booth". ''Wisconsin Magazine of History'', Spring 1999, pp. 167-168.〕
In 1839 he was hired with other Yale students to teach English to the imprisoned Africans who had taken over the slave ship ''Amistad''. He continued to teach the Africans after they were successfully freed by the U.S. Supreme Court. His involvement in the case led him to join the wider abolition movement.〔Butler, pp. 168-170.〕
