Charles Sumner profileerde zich als een vooraanstaande academische jurist en redenaar, die de anti-slavernijkrachten in Massachusetts aanvoerde. Als leidende figuur in de Senaat van de Verenigde Staten was hij een leider van de Radical Republicans tijdens de Burgeroorlog, gericht op de vernietiging van de Confederatie en de bevrijding van alle slaven. Tijdens de Reconstructie zette Sumner zich krachtig in om de macht van de ex-Confederaten te minimaliseren en gelijke rechten voor de vrijgelatenen te waarborgen, waarmee hij een blijvende impact achterliet op de strijd voor gerechtigheid en gelijkheid.
