description: "Henry Winter Davis was a United States representative from the 4th and 3rd congressional districts of Maryland, well known as one of the Radical Republicans during the Civil War. He was the driving force behind the abolition of slavery in Maryland in 1864, and it was largely because of him that Maryland did not secede. He was an author and primary sponsor of the failed Wade–Davis Bill of 1864, which President Abraham Lincoln vetoed for going beyond his plans for Reconstruction."
