Abraham Lincoln's cabinet included several notable figures: Secretary of State William H. Seward, who was a key ally; Secretary of the Treasury Salmon P. Chase, who managed the financial aspects of the Civil War; Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton, who played a crucial role in military affairs; and Attorney General Edward Bates. Additionally, Caleb B. Smith served as Secretary of the Interior, and Gideon Welles was the Secretary of the Navy. This diverse group, often referred to as Lincoln's "Team of Rivals," brought various perspectives and expertise to the administration.
