Born into an extended New England political family that included Founding Father Roger Sherman and multiple members of Congress, Hoar was first a member of the anti-slavery Free Soil Party before becoming a founding member of the Republican Party.
After his election to Congress in 1868, Hoar became known as a Radical Republican on the issue of Reconstruction and member of the Half-Breed faction, an informal grouping of moderate but partisan Republicans who opposed the political patronage system, particularly as practiced under President Ulysses S. Grant.[1]
In the final decade of his life, he became a leading anti-imperialist critic of the Spanish-American War, the annexation of Hawaii, and American military occupations abroad, particularly in the Philippines.
