Oliver Hazard Perry Throck Morton,commonly known as Oliver P. Morton,was a U.S. Republican Party politician from Indiana. He served as the 14th governor of Indiana during the American Civil War,and was a stalwart ally of President Abraham Lincoln. Morton worked hard to maximize Indiana's contribution to the war effort and marginalize the obstructionists. He was a principled and effective leader who fought for equality and nationalism through the use of governmental power. His forceful pursuit of civil rights and prosecution of Copperheads and white supremacists gained him lasting enemies among the antiwar elements. Morton thwarted and neutralized the Democratic-controlled Indiana General Assembly. He exceeded his constitutional authority by calling out the militia without approval,and during the period of legislative suppression he privately financed the state government through unapproved federal and private loans. He was criticized for arresting and detaining political enemies and suspected southern sympathizers. As one of President Lincoln's "war governors",Morton made significant contributions to the war effort,more than any other man in the state,and earned the lifelong gratitude of former Union soldiers for his support.
