    Joseph Brooks (politician)

    Joseph Brooks (November 1, 1812  April 30, 1877) was a Republican politician in Arkansas after the Civil War. He is mainly remembered for losing the 1872 gubernatorial race in Arkansas and then leading a coup d'état, now referred to as the Brooks–Baxter War, in 1874.

    Early life

    Joseph Brooks was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and worked as a minister, preacher, and Methodist church official in Illinois and Missouri from 1840 to 1862. He also worked as a newspaper editor for the Central Christian Advocate in St. Louis.

    In 1862 he joined the Union Army as a chaplain. In 1863 Brooks, an ardent abolitionist since the 1850s, became the chaplain to the African American Third Arkansas Infantry. He remained with this regiment until February 1865.

    Arkansas and Reconstruction

    Brooks leased a cotton plantation near Helena, Arkansas after the Civil War. He helped organize African Americans in Arkansas and tried to get them active in the Republican Party. He was a delegate at the Arkansas Constitutional Convention in 1868. His strong advocacy of voting rights for African Americans won him strong support from them. However, it eventually alienated other parts of the Republican Party.

    Famous quotes by Joseph Brooks:

    "[The fall's biggest mystery will be] In My Life, ... You Light Up My Life."
    "Life turns on a dime"
    "It's hard as I think back….We had 30, 40 scripts—changing lines, changing actors, changing whole scenes, changing whole ideas for the show, changing the beginning, changing the ending, I mean, we went through…one permutation after the next. It was quite amazing."
    "I couldn't have put anything else into this show. It's the best score I could do, the best words I could write… Everything I have is up there. And now I'm gonna take a long rest."
    "There is a serious defect in the thinking of someone who wants--more than anything else--to become rich. As long as they don't have the money, it'll seem like a worthwhile goal. Once they do, they'll understand how important other things are--and have always been."
    "In My Life"
    "[As is the way with almost everything concerning] In My Life, ... jaw-dropping whimsy run amok."
    "This show, by all intents and purposes, should have closed on the 21st. But if we get them in, they will spread the word. I'm positive."
