EDITORS COMMENTS
Seldom in American history has one man's legal acumen and political savvy shaped the course of events as profoundly as Edwin McMasters Stanton (1814-1869). This evocative photograph captures Stanton in the prime of his career, his piercing eyes reflecting a steely determination that would come to define his tenure as Lincoln's Secretary of War during the Civil War. Born in Steubenville, Ohio, Stanton began his legal practice in 1838. He quickly established a reputation as a formidable litigator, often taking on high-profile cases that tested the boundaries of the law. Stanton's unwavering commitment to justice and his willingness to challenge the status quo earned him both admirers and enemies. In 1861, as the Civil War loomed, Stanton joined the Republican Party and was appointed as the Secretary of War by President Abraham Lincoln. Stanton's tenure was marked by his unyielding dedication to the Union cause and his commitment to ending slavery. He oversaw the recruitment and training of over 2 million soldiers, orchestrated the logistical support for the Union army, and implemented policies that dismantled the Confederacy's war machine. Stanton's tenure as Secretary of War was not without controversy. He clashed with generals, politicians, and even Lincoln himself over military strategy and the treatment of prisoners of war. However, Stanton's unwavering commitment to the Union cause and his legal expertise proved invaluable in the face of the greatest challenge America had ever faced. After the war, Stanton continued to serve in various capacities in the government, including as Secretary of the Treasury and as a Senator from New York. He died in 1869, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most influential figures in American history. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of Stanton's indomitable spirit and his enduring impact on the nation.
