No stranger to family and church as the foundational stuff of life, George Candee made a lifelong career as a minister. Throughout the 1800's he traveled around America speaking out about abolition, reform, social equality, faith, and religion. His activism in the realm of Christianity eventually led him to try and bring his principles to the political arena of America.
