Thaddeus Stevens Interview Reflections on Life and Humility
A New York Tribune correspondent recounts an interview with Thaddeus Stevens two weeks before his death. He speaks frankly about his career, the common school system he helped establish in Pennsylvania, and his gratitude to his mother. Stevens dismisses grand claims of wealth, recalls failures, and insists his true legacy lies in public education and personal sacrifice.
