Horace Greeley (1811-1872) was an American journalist and founder of the Liberal Republican party.  As founder and editor of the New York Tribune, he was a powerful voice against slavery, both though after the Civil War, and he favored swift reconciliation with the South.  In 1872, he ran for president but was decisively defeated.  He died soon after the election. Today he is most often remembered for saying “Go West, Young Man.”
