Crawford, J.C. Calhoun, Const. Freeman, Joseph Nourse. Benjamin Williams Crowninshield (December 27, 1772 â" February 3, 1851) was an American politician who served as a U.S. Representative from Massachusetts and as the United States Secretary of the Navy between 1815 and 1818, during the administrations of Presidents James Madison and James Monroe. Crowninshield became Secretary of the Navy in January 1815 and managed the transition to a peacetime force in the years following the War of 1812. This included implementation of the new Board of Commissioners administrative system and the building of several ships of the line, the backbone of a much enhanced Navy. He also oversaw strategy and naval policy for the Second Barbary War in 1815. William Harris Crawford (February 24, 1772 â" September 15, 1834) was an American politician who served as U.S. Secretary of War and U.S. Secretary of the Treasury. In 1813, U.S. President James Madison appointed Crawford as the minister to France, and Crawford held that post for the remainder of the War of 1812. After the war, Madison appointed him to the position of Secretary of War. In October 1816, Madison chose Crawford for the position of Secretary of the Treasury, and Crawford would remain in that office for the remainder of Madison's presidency and for the duration of James Monroe's presidency.
