Thaddeus Stevens was a hero for African Americans due to his strong advocacy for abolition, civil rights, and Reconstruction policies that aimed to ensure equality and empower freed slaves. He played a crucial role in the passage of the 14th and 15th Amendments, which granted citizenship and voting rights to African Americans. Conversely, many Southerners viewed him as a "vile Yankee" because of his aggressive stance against the Confederacy and his efforts to impose Northern ideals on the South during Reconstruction, which they perceived as punitive and oppressive. His uncompromising approach made him a polarizing figure, celebrated by some and reviled by others.
