Bell, John

Bell, John
(15 feb. 1797, cerca de Nashville, Tenn., EE.UU.–10 sep. 1869, Dover, Tenn.).

Político estadounidense. Representó a Tennessee en la Cámara de Representantes (1827–41) y en el Senado (1847–59) de EE.UU. Aunque era dueño de un gran número de esclavos, se opuso a las iniciativas de ampliar la esclavitud a los territorios de EE.UU. y votó en contra de la admisión de Kansas como estado esclavista. Su defensa de la Unión le ganó en 1860 la candidatura presidencial con el respaldo de la Unión Constitucional, pero logró triunfar en sólo tres estados. Posteriormente apoyó al Sur en la guerra de Secesión.
