Rufus King should be better known for one important position he took: He worked against the introduction of slavery into new American territories and states.
If his position had prevailed sooner than later, it would have changed the nation in awesome ways I feel. Thank you Tara for yet another new to me history lesson.
Rufus King is a name I don't believe I have heard much of before now. He sounds very much like a man whose philosophy changed to a Patriot and freedom zealot because of his life's experiences.
He may well have made a decent President, had he won in the election against James Monroe.
He had to have been one of the last signers of the Constitution to run for the Presidency. Thank you Tara for another history lesson.
Rufus King, a name, a man that I was completely unaware of until today. While he is lessor known than Washington, Franklin, Adams and others his contributions to the establishment of these Constishional Republic not be lost to history.
This should be taught (emphasized) in every school...at least in the primary schools. By the time children reached college age hopefully they have been instructed on the full true history of the US and better able to discern what is true and what has been embellished, fabricated or outright lied about to push specific agendas. Thanks for another great lesson, Tara.
Senator King is indeed a strong advocate for freedom then as now if we will continue to listen to his wisdom.
Thank you, Tara, for the story of another unknown to me Founder!
Rufus King was a leader of the anti-slavery movement from our Nation’s Founding onward!
Thank you Tara!!
Maybe lesser known but of greater significance to humanity and the flourishing of free people.
Thanks for the important lesson about a lesser known patriot! 🇺🇸 (plus, I liked the joke about the possibility of a President King 😆)
