  • Flora Hamburger Blackford was one of the United States' most storied politicians. She served in the Congress during both the Great War and the Second Great War, with a period as the First Lady between the wars. A Socialist firebrand in her youth, she came to be known as the "Conscience of the Congress". She strove for social justice at home and abroad, often decrying U.S. militarism and expansionism during and after the Great War, but growing more pragmatic in the face of the Second Great War.
