Had no idea Tallmadge started a society to combat antisemitism in Litchfield! I swear, this guy just keeps getting more fascinating. I'd heard about him defending André, but didn't realize it was during his final year in Congress. I would've killed to see that speech... I bet the whole room went dead silent. 😂 Thanks for teaching me new things about one of my favorite (historical) people!

This is actually my great ancestor! I don't wish to mention which spelling of "Tallmadge" I currently am, as through ther decades in-fighting amongst our family gradually made us lose a couple of letters. Benjamin looks JUST like my Grandfather.

It's interesting that Benjamin Tallmadge voted against the incorporation of espionage in the War of 1812 while a House Rep from Connecticut.
