Senator Hale A Persistent Independent in 19th Century Senate
The article profiles Sen John P Hale as a unique figure in American politics, defying both major parties to maintain independence. It chronicles his courage in opposing slavery interests, his lone vote against thanking Mexican War generals, and his reform efforts on naval appropriations and the spirit ration.

An obituary-like reflection places Hale among eminent, controversial figures shaping pre Civil War policy.
