Hale is considered “the first U.S. Senator with an openly anti-slavery (or abolitionist) platform”. also opposed flogging and the spirit ration in the United States Navy, and secured its abolition in 1850. He served as counsel in 1851 in the trials that arose out of the forcible rescue of the fugitive slave Shadrach Minkins from the custody of the United States Marshal in Boston. Interestingly, Hale’s daughter Lucy Lambert Hale was betrothed in 1865 to John Wilkes Booth, Abraham Lincoln’s assassin. Booth had a picture of Lucy Hale with him when he was killed by pursuing Federal troops on April 26, 1865
