Description
Photograph
of a
portrait
of
Mordecai
Bartley
(1783-1870)
who
served
as
Ohio's
eighteenth
governor
from
1844-1846
. He was
inaugurated
on
December
3
,
1844
.
Bartley
succeeded
his
own
son
,
Thomas
Bartley
,
who
became
Ohio's
seventeenth
governor
upon
Wilson
Shannon's
resignation
from the
office
.
Although
Mordecai
Bartley
only
served
one
term
as
governor
, his
administration
was
very
active
. The
Whigs
held
the
majority
within
the
state
legislature
. As a
result
of this, they were
able
to
pass
the
Kelley
Bank
Bill
of
1845
,
which
stabilized
the
state's
banking
system
. They also
reformed
the
state's
taxation
policy
.
Bartley
also
became
known
for his
position
on
fugitive
slave
laws
.
Bartley
not
only
opposed
these
laws
but also
advocated
the
repeal
of
Ohio
laws
that
deprived
African
Americans
of
basic
rights
.
Bartley
was
governor
when
the
United
States
became
involved
in the
U.S.-Mexican
War
. He
personally
opposed
the
war
but
felt
that
it
was his
duty
as
governor
to
provide
Ohio
troops
for the
war
effort
.
