Book excerpt: Excerpt from Edwin McMasters Stanton: The Great War Secretary But it remained for our civil war to bring forward and develop a truly great war minister, one of heroic mold worthy to rank with the greatest men of his time, of all time! There were giants in those days and he easily measured up to them. Lincoln, Seward, Chase and Stanton were giants in the Cabinet, even as Grant, Sherman, Sheridan and Thomas were giants in the field. Farragut, Porter, Foote and Dupont ruled the wave, even as Sumner and Fessenden did the Senate; as Stevens and Colfax did the House. We Ohioans take a natural pride, a peculiar pleasure in recalling that Stanton was born upon our soil. Let us glance briefly at his early life here and elsewhere, and see how he came to be called at the eleventh hour into Buchanan's cabinet to assist in preserving the union; how he became Lincoln's great servant and right hand man; and how he initiated, carried forward and completed measures which crushed the rebellion and brought peace to our distracted country! Stanton, like Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, first saw the light of day in the Buckeye state. On Monday, December 19, 1814, a day turbulent, chilly and full of driving snow, he was born at Steuben ville, the first child of Dr. David and Lucy Norman Stanton. Samuel J. Tilden came into the world earlier in the year; Henry Ward Beecher, General Fremont and Stephen A. Douglas the year before.

Download or read book Lincoln s Autocrat written by William Marvel and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2015-04-15 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edwin M. Stanton (1814-1869), one of the nineteenth century's most impressive legal and political minds, wielded enormous influence and power as Lincoln's secretary of war during most of the Civil War and under Johnson during the early years of Reconstruction. In the first full biography of Stanton in more than fifty years, William Marvel offers a detailed reexamination of Stanton's life, career, and legacy. Marvel argues that while Stanton was a formidable advocate and politician, his character was hardly benign. Climbing from a difficult youth to the pinnacle of power, Stanton used his authority--and the public coffers--to pursue political vendettas, and he exercised sweeping wartime powers with a cavalier disregard for civil liberties. Though Lincoln's ability to harness a cabinet with sharp divisions and strong personalities is widely celebrated, Marvel suggests that Stanton's tenure raises important questions about Lincoln's actual control over the executive branch. This insightful biography also reveals why men like Ulysses S. Grant considered Stanton a coward and a bully, who was unashamed to use political power for partisan enforcement and personal preservation.
