- Oren_B._Cheney abstract "Oren Burbank Cheney (December 10, 1816 – December 22, 1903) was an American politician, Free Will Baptist clergyman, and academic. He initially gained fame and influence in the 1850s through his religious leadership and academic endeavors. Cheney was a leader in the New England antislavery movement and played an active role in the empowerment of African Americans and women in the American Civil War and decades beyond. He served as a congressman in the Maine House of Representatives in 1851, through the Free Soil, Whig and Independent voter party in Augusta, Maine. He was also vocal about the antislavery movement in the Maine State Legislature and the United States Congress. He was also an editor for the Morning Star, a Free Will Baptist magazine that was prominent in the abolitionist movement in New England. His contributions to the political and religious landscape of Maine and the provinces of Massachusetts proved to be influential and changed the notions of equality in the United States.Born in Holderness, New Hampshire, Cheney was raised in an deeply religious household and was educated at the Parsonsfield Seminary, a Free Will Baptist preparatory school. He enrolled in Brown University, but due to high levels of racial intolerance, he transferred to Dartmouth College in Hanover, New Hampshire to avoid mob violence. Upon graduating, he began to establish himself as religious leader and academic, but quickly learned that the Parsonsfield Seminary had burned down due to an inexplicable fire. He founded the Maine State Seminary which provided the young men and women of Maine a Free Will Baptist education that was ill found at the time. Due to the rapid economic growth of Lewiston, Maine, Cheney's school attracted Boston capitalist Benjamin Bates, who helped finance the new college. On March 16, 1864, Cheney, along with the Maine State Legislature chartered Bates College. His establishment of such an institution provided the backdrop to increased racial equality, the formalization of women rights and educational reform. The college was one of a kind with regard to educational platform and admissions. It was the first coeducational college in New England and graduated its first female graduate in 1869.Cheney was instrumental in the academic expansion of Bates College because he sought trustees that possessed not only money, but academic and political influence. Cheney garnered the support of Senator William Frye, Governor Nelson Dingley, U.S. Secretary of State James Blaine and Governor Alonzo Garcelon. After befriending U.S. Senator Charles Sumner, he became more influential in his rejection of slavery. He is known as one of the earliest proponents of civil rights for women and African Americans in the United States and was a significant figure in the debates regarding emancipation. Cheney was known for public displays of defiance, during his time as a state legislator, he invited Frederick Douglass multiples times into his home defying strong social and racial normalities.".
