Edwin Stanton

[L Verge]

First, his correct name is Edwin McMasters Stanton, not Edward. And, luckily you were not Lincoln. I'm one of those who believes that historians in the past have done a disservice to Stanton's work. Strange personality, but dedicated to the Union and winning the war. That's what Lincoln needed, and they had mutual respect for each other. To me, the Cabinet member that needed watching was Salmon P. Chase. How can we malign him?
