William Hull was pardoned primarily due to the political climate and his prior service during the American Revolutionary War. After being tried for treason for surrendering Detroit to the British during the War of 1812, his actions were viewed in the context of the challenges faced by American forces at the time. His previous contributions to the nation and the acknowledgment of the complexities of military command during wartime played a significant role in the decision to grant him clemency.
