Summary

Description
English: Colorized tintype in gutta percha case with subject seated, shown from waist up, looking forward. Robert Marcellus Stewart was the Democratic governor of Missouri just prior to the outbreak of the Civil War, from 1857 to 1861. He supported slavery and opposed abolition, but as governor vetoed a bill that would have forced free people of color to leave the state or be sold into slavery. When border violence erupted in 1858 Stewart sent state troops to quell the uprisings. During the Civil War, he declared himself an unconditional Unionist and entered military service as an officer, but was relieved of duty by Gen. Henry Halleck because of drunkenness.
