Lewis Cass was an American politician, governor of the State of Michigan, ambassador and US Senator. He was born in 1782 and during his youth he served as military officer. He is particularly remembered for having been a supporter of the controversial Doctrine of Popular Sovereignty, which pretended to allow voters decide if slavery should be legal, with or without The Congress consent.
