John L. O'Sullivan as he appeared on the cover of Harper's Weekly in November 1874. O'Sullivan was then attending a conference in Geneva that sought to create a process of international arbitration in order to prevent wars.

John L. O'Sullivan was born on the North Atlantic Ocean during the War of 1812, his mother having taken refuge on a British ship to avoid plague in Gibraltar, where his father was engaged in business. His father, also named John, was a naturalized American citizen of Irish ancestry; his mother Mary Rowly was English. His paternal great-grandfather was Sir John O'Sullivan, who fought with the Jacobites for the cause of Charles Edward Stuart. O'Sullivan attended Columbia College in New York City. O'Sullivan's father had been a devout Catholic, and O'Sullivan himself was politically associated with the Catholics in New York City, but there is no evidence that he was a practicing Catholic before the 1860s, and then the evidence is unclear. Adelaide, his youngest sister was a Catholic nun, and was nominated for sainthood.
