Francis Lieber
1800–1872
A German-born scholar who remade his life in the United States, he became one of the 19th century's most influential writers on law, politics, and civil liberty. He is especially remembered for shaping the "Lieber Code," a landmark guide to the laws of war during the American Civil War.
