Описание:

Hiram was a senator for Mississippi from 1869 to 1871 and he lived from 1827 to 1901. He accomplished many things as secretary of state from 1872 to 1873. He also successfully appealed to the War Department on behalf of black mechanics from Baltimore who were barred from working at the U.S. Navy Yard in early 1871. Some of his challenges included discrimination from many of the white representatives and transferring from the Republican party to the Democratic party posed to be a great challenge.
