George F. Hoar

Hoar c. 1870s George Frisbie Hoar (August 29, 1826 – September 30, 1904), an American attorney and politician, represented Massachusetts in the United States Senate from 1877 until his death in 1904. He belonged to an extended family that became politically prominent in 18th- and 19th-century New England.

An abolitionist and Radical Republican, Hoar regarded slavery as immoral and was raised in a household which actively opposed racial bigotry and often defied laws they deemed unjust. Hoar strongly opposed and assailed the Democratic Party, which he viewed as the party of the saloon keeper, ballot-box stuffer, and Klansman.

Hoar was referred to by his middle name "Frisbie" among friends. Provided by Wikipedia
