  Historical/biog note:

  Merchant and politician. Morgan became involved in the wholesale grocery business as early as 1828, then residing in Hartford, Connecticut. In 1836 he moved to New York, NY, where he expanded his commercial enterprises to banking and railroads. In addition, he became involved in politics with his election in 1849 to the New York City Board of Assistant Alderman. He was later elected to the New York State Senate, where he spearheaded legislation to promote the development of railroads. In 1858, he was elected Governor of New York State as a Republican. Re-elected in 1860, his major achievements as governor were the improvement of the State's credit and giving maximum support to the Lincoln administration during the Civil War. In 1863, the New York State Legislature chose him to fill the open United States Senate seat. Serving one six year term, he had generally supported the policies of the Radical Republicans that dominated the chamber at that time. In addition to elected offices, Morgan played a significant role in the development of the Republican Party as a major political force in the United States, serving as its chief fundraiser from 1858 to 1876. He retired from politics after the 1876 campaign having failed to make a comeback as Governor. The remaining years of his life were devoted to business interests and as a benifactor to numerous educational institutions, hospitals, and charitable organizations.
