	A strong abolitionist, Adams used his caustic sense of humor in speeches to win supporters for his anti-slavery stand prior to the [[CIVIL WAR]]. Adams' favorite story concerned a charcoal peddler who, unaware that the load of charcoal had fallen off his wagon, would continue to yell, "Charcoal, Charcoal!" and thereby deceive the public into thinking he had something to offer. Adams so often applied this story to what he called the "no issues" of the Democratic Party that he was given the nickname "Charcoal Adams." Early in 1862 Adams was mentioned as a Republican candidate for Congress. When he refused to make certain pledges, the nomination was given to [[ALLISON, William Boyd\|William B. ALLISON]]. He later left the party to join the Greenback Movement.
