Morton, Oliver Perry

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.

Morton, Oliver (Hazard) Perry (Throck) (1823–1877)

US public official. Morton left the Democratic Party to help found the new Republican Party. As the Republican wartime governor of Indiana (1861–66) he triumphed over an unruly legislature bent on frustrating his support of the Federal war effort. Partially paralysed (1865), he went to France for treatment; while there, he helped to persuade the French to withdraw their troops from Mexico. He served in the US Senate (Republican, Indiana; 1867–77) and was one of President Grant's trusted advisers. He was born in Salisbury, Indiana.
