George Sewall Boutwell (born January 28, 1818) is an American politician, economist, lawyer, secretary of treasury in the Ulysses Grant (1869 - 1873), governor of Massachusetts. One of the creators of the Republican Party. Curriculum vitae

He was born on January 28, 1818 in Brookline, near Boston, Massachusetts. After graduating from school, he began his law studies (1836) and started working in this direction. At that time he also set up a shop. After several years of work, he sold the store and enrolled in the Democratic Party. From her shoulder in 1851 he became governor of Massachusetts. He held office until 1853, when he and other activists founded the Republican Party. He continued his political career - in 1863 he became a member of the House of Representatives elected from his native state. Six years later Ulysses Grant, the newly elected United States President, offered him the post of treasury secretary. Boutwell agreed. As Secretary, he made a number of reforms: reduced public debt, cleared up chaos in American finance after the Civil War and Johnson's office, and co-financed the work of farmers. In 1873 he resigned. In 1875, as a senator, he was the chief author of the Civil Rights Act signed by Grant. The next president, Rutherford Hayes, appointed him the United States Commissioner for Codification. He had the task of preparing the law so that the North would reconcile with the South, and the laws of the black were fully preserved. He resigned a year later because he fell into disrepute with the Republicans. In 1900 he made a lot of appearances. He died on 27 February 1905 in Groton, a natural death.

The earliest mention of these creatures is dated to the fifth century BC, and its author is Herodotus. According to her, these ants inhabited the deserts of Persia and India and extracted gold from their sands. Several such creatures were kept in the residence of the King of Persia. Gold was to be obtained by caravans made up of several camels in the heat of the day, when the ants were protected underground. You had to do it quickly, because the ants sensed the smell of people and went on the pursuit, and they were deadly dangerous.
