"Eulogy on Chief-Justice Chase" by William Maxwell Evarts is a commemorative address delivered in the late 19th century, specifically in 1874. The work falls under the category of a historical account and pays tribute to Salmon P. Chase, a prominent American statesman, and Chief Justice of the United States. The eulogy captures Chase’s significant contributions to the law and his influence on American society during a tumultuous period in the nation's history, particularly surrounding issues of slavery and the Civil War. In his address, Evarts outlines Chase's illustrious career, detailing his background from humble beginnings to becoming a leading political figure. The eulogy emphasizes not only Chase's accomplishments as a lawyer and statesman but also his moral integrity, dedication to justice, and commitment to the principles of equality.
