M. T.) 生于1801年4月21日
罗伯特．杭特于1801年4月21日出生在维吉尼亚的爱萨克斯郡 (Essex
County) ，并且就读于维吉尼亚大学。他曾经跟他的儿子说：「我是一个南方人。」在他的政治生涯里，杭特一直都支持奴隶制度并且支持南方各州。他代表他的家乡维吉尼亚担任美国的众议员，并且在1839年到1841年之间，担任众议院议长，后来在1847年到1861年之间，则担任美国参议员。但是他对南方的忠诚，却让他最后变成叛徒。
Robert M.T. Hunter was born on April 21, 1801, in Essex County, Virginia, and educated at the University of Virginia. He once declared to his son, "I am a Southern man." Throughout his political career, Hunter remained uncompromisingly pro-slavery and pro-South. He represented his home state of Virginia in the U.S. House of Representatives, serving as Speaker of the House from 1839 to 1841, and in the U.S. Senate from 1847 to 1861. His loyalties to the South, however, eventually made him a rebel.
