Early life and career
Stephens was born on a farm near Crawfordville, Taliaferro County, Georgia to Andrew B. Crawfordville is a city in Taliaferro County, Georgia, United States. Taliaferro County is a County located in the US state of Georgia. and Margaret Grier Stephens. He grew up poor and acquired his education through the generosity of several benefactors, one of whom was the Presbyterian minister Alexander Hamilton Webster. Presbyterianism is a family of Christian denominations within the Reformed branch of Protestant Western Christianity Out of deep respect for his mentor, Stephens adopted Webster's middle name, Hamilton, as his own. (He was not named after Alexander Hamilton as most assume. ) Stephens attended the Franklin College (later the University of Georgia) in Athens, where he was roommates with Crawford W. Long and a member of the Phi Kappa Literary Society. The University of Georgia ( UGA) is a public research University located in Athens, Georgia, the oldest and largest of the Athens-Clarke County is a unified city-county in Georgia, US, in the northeastern part of the state at the intersection of U Crawford Williamson Long ( November 1, 1815 &ndash June 16, 1878) was an American Physician and Pharmacist best known for The Phi Kappa Literary Society is a Literary society, located at the University of Georgia in Athens Georgia. He graduated at the top of his class in 1832. Year 1832 ( MDCCCXXXII) was a Leap year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian
After an unhappy couple of years teaching school, he pursued legal studies, passed the bar in 1834, and began a successful career as a lawyer in Crawfordville. During his 32 years of practice, he gained a reputation as a capable defender of the wrongfully accused. None of his clients charged with capital crimes were executed. One notable case was that of a black slave woman accused of attempted murder. Stephens volunteered to defend her. Despite the circumstantial evidence presented against her, Stephens persuaded the jury to acquit the woman, thus saving her life.
Stephens suffered from illness and disease throughout his life; he weighed only 96 pounds. But he was a skillful lawyer and wonderful orator. While his voice was described as shrill and unpleasant, at the beginning of the Civil War a northern newspaper described him as "the Strongest Man in the South" because of his intelligence, judgment, and eloquence. His generosity was legendary. His house, even when he was governor of Georgia, was always open to travelers or tramps. He personally financed the education of over a hundred students, black and white, male and female. So prodigious was his charity, that he died virtually penniless.
As his wealth increased, Stephens began acquiring land and slaves. Slavery in the United States began soon after English colonists first settled Virginia in 1607 and lasted until the passage of the Thirteenth By the time of the Civil War, Stephens owned 34 slaves and several thousand acres.

As a national lawmaker during the crucial two decades before the Civil War, Stephens was involved in all the major sectional battles. He began as a moderate defender of slavery, but later accepted all of the prevailing Southern rationales used to defend the institution.
Stephens quickly rose to prominence as one of the leading Southern Whigs in the House. He supported the annexation of Texas in 1845. Texas ( is a state geographically located in the South Central United States and is also known as the Lone Star State. Along with his fellow Whigs, he vehemently opposed the Mexican-American War. He was an equally vigorous opponent of the Wilmot Proviso, which would have barred the extension of slavery into territories acquired by the United States during the war with Mexico. The Wilmot Proviso was introduced on August 8, 1846, in the United States House of Representatives as a rider on a $2 million appropriations Stephens and fellow Georgia Representative Robert Toombs worked diligently for the election of Zachary Taylor as President in 1848. Robert Augustus Toombs ( July 2, 1810 &ndash December 15, 1885) was an American political leader Secretary of State of the Confederacy Zachary Taylor (November 24 1784 &ndash July 9 1850 was an American military leader and the twelfth President of the United States. The President of the United States is the Head of state and Head of government of the United States and is the highest political official in United States by Both were chagrined and angered when Taylor proved less than pliable on aspects of the Compromise of 1850. The Compromise of 1850 was a series of bills aimed at resolving the territorial and slavery controversies arising from the Mexican-American War (1846&ndash1848 Stephens and Toombs both supported the Compromise of 1850, and then returned to Georgia to secure support for the measures at home. Both men were instrumental in the drafting and approval of the Georgia Platform, which rallied Unionists throughout the Deep South. The Georgia Platform was a statement executed by a Georgia Convention in response to the Compromise of 1850 The Deep South is a descriptive category of cultural and geographic subregions in the American South.
By this time, Stephens had departed the ranks of the Whig party—its northern wing proving inimical to what he regarded as non-negotiable Southern interests. Back in Georgia, Stephens, Toombs, and Democratic Representative Howell Cobb formed the Constitutional Union Party. (Thomas Howell Cobb ( September 7, 1815 – October 9, 1868) was an American political figure The Constitutional Union Party (also known as the Bell-Everett Party in California was a Political party in the United States created in 1860 The party overwhelmingly carried the state in the ensuing election and, for the first time, Stephens returned to Congress no longer a Whig. Stephens spent the next few years as a Constitutional Unionist, essentially an independent. He vigorously opposed the dismantling of the Constitutional Union party when it began crumbling in 1851. Political realities soon forced the Union Democrats in the party to affiliate once more with the national party, and by mid-1852, the unnatural combination of Democrats and Whigs, which had formed a "party" behind the Compromise, had come undone.
The sectional issue surged to the forefront again in 1854, when Senator Stephen A. Year 1854 ( MDCCCLIV) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian Calendar (or a Common year The United States Senate is the Upper house of the bicameral United States Congress, the Lower house being the House of Representatives Douglas moved to organize the Nebraska Territory, all of which lay north of the Missouri Compromise line, in the Kansas-Nebraska Act. The Missouri Compromise was an agreement passed in 1820 between the pro-slavery and anti-slavery factions in the United States Congress, involving The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, opened new lands repealed the Missouri Compromise of This legislation aroused fury in the North because it applied the popular sovereignty principle to the Territory, thereby negating the Missouri Compromise. Popular sovereignty or the sovereignty of the people is the belief that the legitimacy of the State is created by the will or consent of its people, who Had it not been for Stephens, the bill would have probably never passed in the House. He employed an obscure House rule to bring the bill to a vote. He later called this "the greatest glory of my life. "
From this point on, Stephens voted with the Democrats. Not until after the Congressional elections of 1855 could Stephens be properly called a Democrat, although even then he never officially declared it. In this move, Stephens broke irrevocably with many of his former Whig colleagues. When the Whig Party disintegrated after the election of 1852, most Whigs flocked to the short-lived Know-Nothing Party. The Know Nothing movement was a Nativist American political movement of the 1850s But Stephens fiercely opposed the Know-Nothings both for their secrecy and their anti-immigrant and anti-Catholic position.
Despite his late arrival to the Democratic Party, Stephens quickly rose. He even served as President Buchanan's floor manager in the House during the fruitless battle for the Lecompton Constitution for Kansas Territory in 1857. James Buchanan Jr (April 23 1791 – June 1 1868 was the fifteenth President of the United States (1857–1861 The Lecompton Constitution was the second of four proposed Constitutions for the state of Kansas (it was preceded by the Topeka Constitution and followed The Territory of Kansas was an Organized territory of the United States that existed from May 30 1854 until January 29 1861 when Kansas became the 34th He was instrumental in framing and passing the so-called English bill after it became clear that Lecompton would never pass.
Worn out and disgusted, Stephens did not seek re-election to Congress in 1858. As sectional peace eroded during the next two years, Stephens became increasingly critical of southern extremists. Although virtually the entire South had spurned Douglas as a traitor to Southern Rights (because he had opposed the Lecompton Constitution and broken with Buchanan), Stephens remained on good terms with the Illinois Senator and served as one of his presidential electors in the election of 1860. The State of Illinois ( roughly ill-i-NOY is a state of the United States of America, the 21st to be admitted to the Union. The Electoral College consists of 538 popularly elected representatives who formally select the President and Vice President of the United States.
Vice President
In 1861, Stephens was elected as a delegate to the Georgia special convention to decide on secession from the United States. Year 1861 ( MDCCCLXI) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display the full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common Secession (derived from the Latin term secessio is the act of withdrawing from an organization union or especially a political entity The United States of America —commonly referred to as the During the convention, as well as during the 1860 presidential campaign, Stephens called for the South to remain loyal to the Union, likening it to a leaking but fixable boat. During the convention he reminded his fellow delegates that Republicans were a minority in Congress (especially in the Senate) and, even with a Republican President, would be forced to compromise just as the two sections had for decades. And, because the Supreme Court had voted 7–2 in the Dred Scott case, it would take decades of Senate-approved appointments to reverse it. The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest judicial body in the United States and leads the federal judiciary. Dred Scott v Sandford —whether or not they were slaves—could never be Citizens of the United States, and that the United States Congress He voted against secession in the convention, but asserted the right to secede if the federal government continued allowing northern states to nullify the Fugitive Slave Law with "personal liberty laws".

In it he declared that slavery was the natural condition of blacks and the foundation of the confederacy.
In 1862, Stephens first publicly expressed his opposition to the Davis administration. [1] Throughout the war he denounced many of the president's policies, including conscription, suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, impressment, various financial and taxation policies, and Davis' military strategy.
In mid-1863, Davis dispatched the vice president on a fruitless mission to Washington to discuss prisoner exchanges, but in the immediate aftermath of the Federal victory of Gettysburg, the Lincoln government refused to receive him. As the war continued, and the fortunes of the Confederacy sank lower, Stephens became more outspoken in his opposition to the administration. On March 16, 1864, Stephens delivered a speech to the Georgia legislature that was widely reported both North and South. In it, he excoriated the administration for its support of conscription and suspension of habeas corpus, and further, he supported a block of resolutions aimed at securing peace. From then until the end of the war, as he continued to press for actions aimed at bringing about peace, his relations with President Davis, never warm to begin with, turned completely sour.
On February 3, 1865, he was one of three Confederate commissioners who met with President Lincoln on the steamer River Queen at the Hampton Roads Conference, a forlorn effort to discuss measures to bring an end to the fighting.
