Ding 1 point for PB.  

You could also have added that it  served basically the same function as the State Depts. of individual states today.  It's primary job was simply to act as a personal secretary to the President; managing state affairs and delivering appointments.

After the Civil War, southerners who stayed in the South and joined the party of Lincoln were know as "Black Republicans".  One prominant southern general became widely reviled for becoming one of these "Black Republicans".  He late in life, he became the successful President of a railroad.  Who was this general?
