John Sherman
(May 10, 1823 – October 22, 1900) was a politician from the U.S. state of
Ohio
during the
American Civil War
and into the late nineteenth century. A member of the
Republican Party
, he served in both houses of the
U.S. Congress
. He also served as
Secretary of the Treasury
and
Secretary of State
. Sherman sought the Republican presidential nomination three times, coming closest in
1888
, but was never chosen by the party. His brothers included
General
William Tecumseh Sherman
;
Charles Taylor Sherman
, a federal judge in Ohio; and
Hoyt Sherman
, an Iowa banker.
Born in
Lancaster, Ohio
, Sherman later moved to
Mansfield
, where he began a law career before entering politics. Initially a
Whig
, Sherman was among those
anti-slavery
activists who formed what became the Republican Party. He served three terms in the House of Representatives. As a member of the House, Sherman traveled to
Kansas
to investigate
the unrest
between pro- and anti-slavery partisans there. He rose in party leadership and was nearly elected
Speaker
in
1859
. Sherman was elevated to the Senate in
1861
. As a senator, he was a leader in financial matters, helping to redesign the United States'
monetary system
to meet the needs of a nation torn apart by civil war. After the war, he worked to produce legislation that would restore the nation's credit abroad and produce a stable,
gold-backed currency
at home.
Serving as Secretary of the Treasury in the administration of
Rutherford B. Hayes
, Sherman continued his efforts for financial stability and solvency, overseeing an end to wartime
inflationary
measures and a return to gold-backed money. He returned to the Senate after his term expired, serving there for a further sixteen years. During that time he continued his work on financial legislation, as well as writing and debating laws on
immigration
,
business competition law
, and the regulation of
interstate commerce
. Sherman was the principal author of the
Sherman Antitrust Act of 1890
, which was signed into law by President
Benjamin Harrison
. In 1897, President
William McKinley
appointed him Secretary of State. Failing health and declining faculties made him unable to handle the burdens of the job, and he retired in 1898 at the start of the
Spanish–American War
. Sherman died at his home in
Washington, D.C.
in 1900.
