  • Powell Foulk Clayton (August 7, 1833 – August 25, 1914) was an American politician, diplomat, and businessman who served as the 9th governor of Arkansas from 1868 to 1871, as a Republican member of the U.S. Senate for Arkansas from 1871 to 1877 and as U.S. Ambassador to Mexico from 1897 to 1905. During the American Civil War, he served as a senior officer of United States Volunteers and commanded cavalry in the Trans-Mississippi Theater. After the war, he married a woman from Arkansas, purchased a plantation and settled in Jefferson County. He was active in the Arkansas Republican party and became governor after military rule was lifted and the Arkansas state constitution was ratified by Congress. He was viewed as a carpetbagger and implemented martial law in Arkansas for four months due to the rise of the Ku Klux Klan and violence against African-Americans and Republicans. The Arkansas Republican party splintered during Clayton's governorship. Clayton and his followers were known as Minstrels and a more conservative faction led by Joseph Brooks were known as Brindletails. The power struggle between the groups resulted in the impeachment of Clayton in 1871 and the Brooks-Baxter War. Clayton was elected to the U.S. Senate for Arkansas in March 1871. A U.S. Senate Joint Select Committee investigated him for claims made by his political rivals that he issued fraudulent election credentials during his time as governor. He was acquitted of these charges. In 1877, the legislature came under the control of Democrats after Reconstruction, who voted to replace Clayton. He returned to Arkansas from Washington, DC, where he remained active in the Republican National Committee. He helped William McKinley receive the Republican nomination for president in 1896. After McKinley's victory, Clayton was rewarded for his support of McKinley with an appointment as Ambassador to Mexico. In 1882, Clayton established a home in the developing resort town of Eureka Springs, Arkansas. He was president of the Eureka Springs Improvement Company and worked to develop commercial and residential properties. In 1883, he became president of the Eureka Springs Railroad, which provided rail service to the developing community. He died in Washington, D.C. in 1914 and was interred at Arlington National Cemetery. (en)

  • Powell Clayton, född 7 augusti 1833 i Delaware County, Pennsylvania, död 25 augusti 1914 i Washington, D.C., var en amerikansk republikansk politiker, general och diplomat. Han var den 9:e guvernören i delstaten Arkansas 1868-1871. Han representerade sedan Arkansas i USA:s senat 4 mars 1871 — 3 mars 1877. Clayton var en betydande politisk ledare i rekonstruktionstidens Arkansas. Han bekämpade Ku Klux Klans framväxt med krafttag och överlevde ett mordförsök. Clayton deltog i amerikanska inbördeskriget som brigadgeneral i nordstatsarmén. Han efterträdde 1868 Isaac Murphy som guvernör i Arkansas. Ku Klux Klan initierade en serie av våldsdåd inför presidentvalet i USA 1868. En republikansk kongressledamot mördades och Clayton själv överlevde ett mordförsök. Clayton svarade med hårdare tag än guvernörer i många andra sydstater. Han förklarade undantagstillstånd och kommenderade de delstatliga försvarsstyrkorna, milisen, mot Ku Klux Klan. Han tillät också svarta trupper att delta i operationerna. Clayton efterträdde 1871 Alexander McDonald som senator. Han kandiderade till omval, men förlorade mot Augustus Hill Garland. Han var USA:s ambassadör i Mexiko 1897-1905. Claytons grav finns på Arlingtonkyrkogården. Han var bror till John Clayton som 1888 utmanade sittande kongressledamoten Clifton R. Breckinridge i ett val där omfattande fusk förekom. John Clayton mördades i januari 1889 och valresultatet, en seger för Breckinridge, ogiltigförklarades efter mordet. Breckinridge omvaldes sedan i ett fyllnadsval. (sv)
