"This is a full-length political biography of John W. E. Thomas (1847-1899), the first African American to serve in the Illinois General Assembly and the leading Illinois African American politician in the years after the Civil War. Long forgotten by the public and historians alike, Thomas led a fascinating career which included opening the first school for African Americans in Chicago, serving three terms in the Illinois General Assembly, successfully passing the first Civil Rights Act in Illinois, and chairing two Illinois "colored conventions" in the 1880s. In addition to his career as a politician, Thomas was also a school teacher, businessman, attorney and real estate investor"--

On the eve of the War of 1812, the Illinois Territory was a new land of bright promise. The new territory ran from the junction of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers north to the U.S. border with Canada, embracing the current states of Illinois, Wisconsin, and a part of Michigan. This history underlines the crucial importance of the War of 1812 in the development of Illinois as a state. The history of Illinois in the War of 1812 has never before been told with so much attention to the personalities who fought it, the events that defined it, and its lasting consequences.
