BOOK DESCRIPTION
The first biography of George Washington's extraordinary nephew, who inherited Mount Vernon and was Chief Justice John Marshall's right-hand man on the Supreme Court for nearly thirty years. In Washington's Heir, Gerard N. Magliocca gives us the first published biography of Bushrod Washington, one of the most underrated Founding Fathers. Born in 1762, Justice Washington fought in the Revolutionary War, served in Virginia's ratifying convention for the Constitution, and was Chief Justice John Marshall's partner in establishing the authority of the Supreme Court. Though he could only see from one eye, Justice Washington wrote many landmark decisions defining the fundamental rights of citizens and the structure of the Constitution, including Corfield v. Coryell-an influential source for the Congress that proposed the Fourteenth Amendment. As George Washington's personal heir, Bushrod inherited both Mount Vernon and the family legacy of owning other people, one of whom was almost certainly his half-brother or nephew. Yet Justice Washington alone among the Founders was criticized by journalists for selling enslaved people and, in turn, issued a public defense of his actions that laid bare the hypocrisy and cruelty of slavery.

Bushrod Washington served on the United States Supreme Court for over thirty years. As George Washington's nephew, he lived at Mount Vernon, though Philadelphia was his second home. He studied law in Philadelphia during the 1780s and stayed in the city for a few months each year from 1800 until 1829, conducting trials and hearing appeals. During those visits Washington forged deep friendships with Philadelphia’s leading figures, including Elizabeth Powel, who was one of the most politically active women of her time. In this webinar, Gerard Magliocca, Samuel R. Rosen Professor at the Indiana University Robert H. McKinney School of Law and author of Washington’s Heir: The Life of Justice Bushrod Washington, discusses Washington's noteworthy life and about a trial over which he presided: United States v. Bright. This case sharply divided Philadelphia and threatened to shake the Constitutional foundations of the Union long before the Civil War.
