He represented Northeast Ohio in the U.S.
House of Representatives from 1838–59.
He was at first a member of the Whig Party and was later a Republican, helping found the party. Giddings is noted as a leading abolitionist of his era.
He was censured in 1842 for violating the gag rule against discussing slavery in the House of Representatives when he proposed a number of Resolutions against federal support for the coastwise slave trade, in relation to the Creole case.

He returned to the House and served a total of nearly twenty more years as representative.
