Born
Lincoln's Secretary of War from 1862 ran the Union's military logistics, railways and telegraph, and led the pursuit of Lincoln's assassins. When Andrew Johnson tried to dismiss him in 1868, Stanton refused to leave his office, and the removal, made in defiance of the Tenure of Office Act, led to the first presidential impeachment.
