Biography
Williams (1823-1910) served as President Ulysses S. Grant's Attorney General from 1871 to 1875. In 1873, he was nominated by Grant to be Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, but his nomination was not confirmed by the U.S. Senate. He was also a Republican United States Senator from Oregon (1865-1871). As a senator, William was a member of a commission to settle American claims against Great Britain, where a number of Confederate commerce raiders were built during the American Civil War (the so-called Alabama claims from the CSS Alabama, one of the raiders). He also allied himself with Radical Republicans against President Andrew Johnson's Reconstruction programs after the Civil War and, later, supported the impeachment of Johnson.
