Best Answer

John C. Fremont.

Fremont had been the first Republican presidential candidate in 1856. He had gained fame as "The Pathfinder" from a book he published detailing his explorations of the west. He was married to Jessie Benton, the daughter of powerful Missouri Senator Thomas Hart Benton. For this reason he had been given command in Missouri, where he issued his proclamation without consultation with the administration in Washington. This was at a time when Lincoln was trying to woo the undecided in the border states, and Lincoln ordered Fremont's proclamation rescinded. Despite an emotional personal visit from Jessie Benton Fremont, Lincoln held firm and Fremont resigned in a huff, no doubt to the considerable relief of Lincoln.
