yes, robert kelly had surrendered at appomattox. joe johnston still had his army north carolina. kirby smith had his army in texas. so the war was by no means over or one. and then stanton had to organize the wonderful and majestic funeral procession for abraham lincoln that, took him through all the major cities of the north and the journey back to springfield. so stanton had to hunt the lincoln assassins, get john wilkes booth, find the conspirators, fight and win the civil war, and organize the national tribute to abraham lincoln. so stanton is a great american hero, so overlooked. one of the best things about the show is stan is finally given his due in american history. it's emmy award winning actor tobias menzies, as you said, who portrays edwin stanton. yeah. here's a little bit of how he portrays stanton, but if you're a war secretary, how come you don't assign a task like this to a clerk? you've got a little brother and we let him solve your problems. my lady says i never met a challenge. i could delegate. why was it up to edwin stanton? do all these things? lead the sea
