For six years, 1839–45, he served in the war department of the Republic of Texas, first as clerk and in 1844–45 as secretary of war. One of the few Texan abolitionists, he fought for Union forces in the Civil War. Later, he represented Texas as a Radical Republican in the United States Senate during Reconstruction.
