American legislator. A U.S. senator (1821–1851) and representative (1853–1855) from Missouri, he staunchly opposed the use of paper currency. Encyclopedia Benton, Thomas Hart, 1782–1858, U.S. Senator (1821–51), b. Hillsboro, N.C. Benton moved to Tennessee in 1809, was admitted to the bar in 1811, and served (1809–11) in the state senate. In 1815, he went to St. Louis, where he became editor of the Missouri Enquirer, established a thriving law practice, and won political prestige. He entered the U.S. Senate on Missouri's admission to the Union in 1821 and was four times reelected. A supporter from 1824 of Andrew Jackson, with whom he had been at odds, Benton was a power in the administrations of Jackson and Martin Van Buren. He played one of the most prominent parts in the successful war on the Bank of the United States. A rigid “hard money” man (he delighted in the sobriquet “Old Bullion”), Benton had the ratio of silver to gold revised from 15 to 1 to 16 to 1 in 1834 and thus brought gold into circulation again. Congress defeated his resolution requiring that the public lands be paid for in hard money only, but Jackson immediately legalized the idea in an executive order (1836), the famous Specie Circular, which Benton drew up. His currency measures, intended to discourage continued land speculation and thereby encourage actual settlement of the West, were supported by Eastern workers, who wished to be paid in specie rather than in notes of uncertain value.

Search ( Enter the name of an historical figure, event or issue) Thomas Hart Benton Thomas Hart Benton was born in Hillsborough, North Carolina, and moved to Tennessee in 1809. He studied law and was later elected to the state senate. During the War of 1812 , Benton raised a contingent of volunteers and served on Andrew Jackson 's staff. Later, Benton got into a bloody fight with Jackson, prompting the former to leave Tennessee. Benton moved to Missouri and became a newspaper editor, was active in public affairs and in 1821 was elected as the state’s first Senator. He made his mark by representing popular western causes—liberal land policy, road construction and opening new territories to settlement. Benton became very conservative on monetary matters. He opposed the Second Bank of the United States and earned the nickname “Old Bullion” for his advocacy of “ hard money ” over “ soft money .” Benton was a foe of land speculators, preferring that purchasers of western lands be actual settlers. He strove to gain Congressional support for his programs of preemption and graduation. Benton was in general a supporter of Andrew Jackson (the two were reconciled) and an opponent of John C. Calhoun
