Abstract:
After Abraham Lincoln was elected President, he considered two Southerners for positions in his Cabinet--John A. Gilmer and Alexander H. Stephens. Both declined, although Gilmer would correspond with Lincoln and Seward, now Secretary of State. Gilmer went on to become a Confederate States Congressman, after serving as a state senator and U. S. Congressman. He died in Greensboro and is buried there.
