Horace Greeley (February 3, 1811– November 29, 1872) was an Americanauthor and statesman who was the founder and editorof the New-York Tribune, among the greatnewspapers of its time. Long active in politics, he served briefly as acongressman from New York, and was the unsuccessful candidate of the new Liberal Republican partyin the 1872 presidential electionagainst incumbent President Ulysses S.Grant. Greeley was born to a poor family in Amherst, New Hampshire. He was apprenticedto a printer in Vermont and went to New York City in 1831 to seek his fortune.He wrote for or edited several publications and involved himself in Whig Party politics, taking a significantpart in William Henry Harrison\'s successful 1840presidential campaign. The following year, he founded the Tribune, whichbecame the highest-circulating newspaper in the country through weekly editionssent by mail. Among many other issues, he urged the settlement of the AmericanWest, which he saw as a land of opportunity for the young and the unemployed.He popularized the slogan \"Go West, young man, and grow up with thecountry.\"[a] He endlessly promoted utopian reforms such as socialism,vegetarianism, agrarianism, feminism, and temperance, while hiring the besttalent he could find. Greeley\'s alliance with William H.Seward and Thurlow Weed led to him serving three months inthe House of Representatives, where he angered many by investigating Congressin his newspaper. In 1854, he helped found and may have named the Republican Party.Republican newspapers across the nation regularly reprinted his editorials.During the Civil War, he mostly supported Lincoln, thoughurging him to commit to the end of slavery before the President was willing todo so. After Lincoln\'s assassination, he supported the Radical Republicans in opposition to President AndrewJohnson. He broke with Republican president Ulysses Grantbecause of corruption and Greeley\'s sense that Reconstruction policies were nolonger needed. Greeley was the new Liberal Republican Party\'s candidate in the 1872 U.S. presidential election.He lost in a landslide, despite having the additional support of the Democratic Party. He wasdevastated by the death of his wife, who died five days before the election,and died himself three weeks later, before the Electoral College had met.
