A decent man better suited to politics. He was a Senator and Governor of Rhode Island after the war.

And to his credit, he resisted taking the higher command, knowing he was already at his level of competence.

He also invented a worthy breech-loading rifle, but never made much off it, having somewhat foolishly sold the rights to it cheaply just before the war.
