John Rankin (1795-1886) was a prominent American abolitionist and pastor. He was born in Tennessee and became known for his strong anti-slavery stance, eventually moving to Ohio where he established the Rankin House, a key stop on the Underground Railroad. In 1844, he was elected to the Ohio House of Representatives and continued to advocate for emancipation and civil rights throughout his life. Rankin's legacy remains significant in the history of the abolitionist movement in the United States.
