The Cabinet of the Confederate States of America, commonly called the Confederate cabinet or Cabinet of Jefferson Davis, was part of the executive branch of the federal government of the Confederate States that existed between 1861 and 1865. The members of the Cabinet were the vice president and heads of the federal executive departments.
The Confederate cabinet was dissolved on May 5, and Confederate President Jefferson Davis was captured by Union soldiers on May 10, one day after Lincoln's successor, Andrew Johnson, declared that the belligerent rights of the Confederacy were at an end, [3] with the rebellion effectively over.

Hayes of Fremont , and Benjamin Harrison of the greater Cincinnati area.
