Probably the most famous United State clergyman who believed in woman's suffrage; temperance; and evolution. He was one of the few people in favor of Chinese emigration. However he was not a major fan of working men's rights and favored the strike breakers. In the famous trial for adultery in 1875 Beecher was involved with a Mrs. Tilton, but was cleared by the court.
