Liberty Billings (1823–1877)[1] was an American officer in the Union Army, a Unitarian minister, and a state senator.
Billings was born in Saco, Maine in 1823.[2] He was educated at Thornton Academy[3] and later graduated from Meadville Theological School in 1848.[4]
Billings served as Lieutenant Colonel of the 1st South Carolina Volunteer Infantry which in turn became the 33rd United States Colored Infantry during the American Civil War.[2][1] He was a Republican (Radical Republican) during the Reconstruction Era and served as a state senator in Florida. He was involved in the constitutional convention that developed the 1868 Florida Constitution.[5] Billings has been honored posthumously as a Great Floridian.[6]
He was deemed ineligible to participate in the constitutional convention and was voted out along with others accused of being residents of other states.[7]
