New Bedford was the U.S.’s wealthiest city in the U.S., notorious nationally for its visible Black power. Its powerful Quakers patronized black leaders like Nathan Johnson, mentor to a young Frederick Douglass on his 1838 arrival. By then, black Bedforders had established a robust independent politics, forcing all parties to compete for their votes. In the 1840s, younger men like the brothers Ezra and Richard P. Johnson helped lead the local Liberty Party (and later the Free Soil and Free Democratic parties), fighting the dominant Whigs for African American votes. From 1848 through 1854, the black electorate joined a radical biracial coalition led by renegade Democrat Rodney French, Mayor in 1853-54. After 1855, Republicans incorporated black men into party and municipal offices.
