Simeon Beard

Simeon W. Beard was an American minister, teacher, and politician who worked in Charleston, South Carolina and then in Augusta, Georgia. He served in the Union Army.[1] He was a delegate to Georgia's constitutional convention in 1867 and 1868.[2] African American legislators were expelled from office in Georgia.[3]

Beard was a member of the Union Waiter's Society.[4] He taught in Charleston, South Carolina before returning to Augusta.[5] His school in Charleston was established in the antebellum period.[6] Beard's classes were relatively expensive and well supplied.[7]

He was part of the Georgia delegation, along with Georgia Governor Rufus Bullock who met with the U.S. president.[8]

He read the Declaration of Independence and Emancipation Proclamation at a Freedmen's Celebration.[9] He addressed an 1870 meeting of Republicans.[10]

The Sweetwater Enterprise described him as a bright mulatto and a fanatic. It noted his calls to arm Black militias to protect African Americans.[11]

In 1867 he compared the American Civil War to the Biblical account of the parting of the Red Sea in Egypt to make way for freedom for the Jews.[12]

He partnered with white Freedmen's Bureau agent John Bryant to establish the Loyal Georgian newspaper.[13]

He was literate.[14] Emily Edson Briggs described his appearance and wrote that "his words burn as if they had been forged in a redhot furnace."[15]

Il termine untore ricorre in particolare nelle vicend...
