Thomas H. Seymour

Thomas Hart Seymour was the 17th President of the United States of America, from 1865-1868. Seymour's presidency was dominated with reconstruction of the United States after the Confederate War for Independence. In comparison to the 'tyrannical warmonger' painting of his predecessor, Abraham Lincoln, Thomas H. Seymour was painted as a more reassuring and calm gentleman, and a caring father to the American people during their darkest hour of reconstruction.

Seymour went on to be nominated in the 1868 election, but died before the election was held. He was succeeded by his Vice President, George H. Pendleton.
