About Bradish Johnson
Bradish Johnson was an American industrialist and slave owner. He owned plantations and sugar refineries in Louisiana and a large distillery in New York City. In 1858, his distillery was at the heart of a scandal when an exposé in a weekly magazine accused it of producing altered and unsafe milk, called "swill milk", for sale to the public. The swill milk scandal helped to create the demand for consumer protection laws in the United States. During the Civil War, he was part of a group that petitioned President Lincoln to allow Louisiana back into the Union with its pro-slavery constitution intact.
