Joseph Brooks

Joseph Brooks (November 1, 1812 – April 30, 1877) was a Republican politician in Arkansas after the Civil War. He is mainly remembered for his candidacy for governor in 1872 and the Brooks–Baxter War that erupted over that election in 1874.

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.

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.

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.
