Variant names

Hide Profile

A native of Glastonbury, Conn., Gideon Welles began his career as a lawyer but took up journalism as a profession, founding the Hartford Times, which he also edited, in 1826. Active in the Democratic Party in Connecticut, he served in the Connecticut state legislature and in several state offices. He later shifted his allegiance to the Republican Party due to his strong anti-slavery views and founded the Hartford Evening Press, a zealously Republican newspaper. President Abraham Lincoln appointed him secretary of the navy in 1861. As secretary he worked to rebuild the navy after the mass resignation of southern officers just prior to the Civil War and successfully implemented the naval blockade of southern ports. Welles left his post after disagreement with the Reconstruction policies of Andrew Johnson, returning to the Democratic Party in 1868. In the remaining years of his life Welles devoted himself to writing.
