What caused US President Lincoln to remove Simon Cameron as Secretary of War?
On January 20, 1862, US President Lincoln removed Simon Cameron as his Secretary of War and replaced him with Edwin M. Stanton. In Lincoln's view Cameron had been an unsuccessful man. Lincoln had awarded him his position for political reasons. It was Cameron's reward for bringing Pennsylvania to Lincoln's column in the election. Also, Cameron seemed to have his own ideas on how to run the military. He caused himself to embarrass Lincoln and managed to be censored by the House of Representatives.
