Seward, William Henry (1801-1872) Secretary of States during a tumultuous time (1861-1869) who earlier served as Governor of New York and United States Senator. Impassioned statesman and vocal opponent of the spread of slavery during the lead up to the Civil War. Seward was considered the most likely candidate as the Republican Presidential Nominee and actually won a majority of delegate votes. But a fear of electibility and delegate flip-flopping saw the nomination go to Abraham Lincoln.
