  • Edward Coles (December 15, 1786 – July 7, 1868) was an American planter and politician, elected as the second Governor of Illinois (1822 to 1826). From an old Virginia family, Coles as a young man was a neighbor and associate of presidents Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe, as well as, secretary to President James Madison from 1810 to 1815. An anti-slavery advocate throughout his adult life, Coles inherited a plantation and slaves but eventually left Virginia for the Illinois Territory to set his slaves free. He manumitted 19 slaves in 1819 and acquired land for them. In Illinois, he first participated in a campaign to block extending existing slavery in the new state, and then two years later at his inauguration as Governor, he called for the end of slavery in Illinois altogether, which was later achieved. Coles corresponded with and advised both Jefferson and Madison to free their slaves, and publicly support abolition. In his final years in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, he helped shape early historians' views of the presidents' republican ideals. (en)

  • Edward Coles, född 15 december 1786 i Albemarle County, Virginia, död 7 juli 1868 i Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, var en amerikansk politiker (demokrat-republikan). Han var den andra guvernören i delstaten Illinois 1822-1826. Coles studerade vid The College of William & Mary och blev under studietiden en övertygad abolitionist. Han arbetade sedan som privatsekreterare åt USA:s president James Madison. Han var diplomat i Sankt Petersburg 1816-1818. Fadern var en av de rikaste i Virginia och Edward Coles ärvde ett stort plantage. Han hade svårigheter med att frige faderns slavar, eftersom det var förbjudet för frigivna slavar att bo kvar i Virginia. Han bestämde sig 1818 för Illinois, en nybliven delstat, dit både han och de frigivna slavarna kunde flytta. Slaverifrågan diskuterades häftigt inför 1822 guvernörsval i Illinois. Coles ställde upp i valet på grund av sitt starka motstånd mot slaveriet. Frågan avgjordes 1824 i Illinois i en folkomröstning. Guvernör Coles ledde den vinnande kampanjen mot slaveriet. Han lyckades också få igenom en lag som förbjöd kidnappningen av svarta i Illinois. Coles syster Sarah var gift med talmannen Andrew Stevenson. Coles County har fått sitt namn efter Edward Coles. Hans grav finns i Edwardsville, Illinois. (sv)
