杰出的律师Edwin McMasters Stanton在担任亚伯拉罕·林肯总统的战争秘书期间,成为联盟军队最重要的顾问。 斯坦顿于1862年1月获得任命后,立即对战争部门进行了有效的重组,建立了严格的合同谈判程序并大力调查欺诈性合同. 斯坦顿在林肯内阁中是一个关键的反奴隶制的声音,他招募非裔美国人加入联盟军队的努力帮助扭转了战争的潮流. 斯坦顿最初仍留在他接替林肯的安德鲁·约翰逊总统的内阁职位. 然而,斯坦顿认为前邦联国应该保障前被奴役者的公民权利的论点引起了与总统的分歧. 虽然约翰逊因努力罢免斯坦顿而被弹劾,他仍然留任. 约翰逊的接班人尤利西斯·S·格兰特总统后来任命斯坦顿出任最高法院法官,但他上任前就已经去世了.
