Graham seemed to be able to balance the fine line between freedom of religion and the politics of the state. He partnered with Martin Luther King as a show of solidarity for civil rights, and he was sought after by Muhammad Ali and all the presidents from Eisenhower to Bush. Prior to Nixon's election in 1968, it has been found, Nixon instructed a close adviser to call Graham twice a week, because Nixon knew that his Christian constituents would look fondly upon a relationship between himself and

Hinson, a farmer from the south,who operated as a Confederate partisan sniper against Union forces in the Between-the-Rivers region of Tennessee and Kentucky during the American Civil War.
