abstract
  • John Henninger Reagan (October 8, 1818 – March 6, 1905) was an American politician from Texas. A Democrat, Reagan resigned from the U.S. House of Representatives when Texas seceded from the Union and joined the Confederate States. He served in the cabinet of Jefferson Davis as Postmaster General, the only holder of that office. He was an able administrator, presiding over the only cabinet department that functioned well during the war. After the Confederate defeat, he called for cooperation with the federal government and thus became unpopular, but returned to public office when his predictions of harsh treatment for resistance were proved correct. After his citizenship was restored, he served again in the U.S. House and then in the Senate. Dying in 1905, he was the last surviving member of the Confederate Cabinet.
