Henry Clay Warmoth (May 9 1842 – September 30 1931) was a politician and the 23rd Governor of Louisiana from 1868 until his impeachment and suspension from office during the final days of his term in 1872 because of disputes over the outcome of the election. His Lt. Governor P.B.S. Pinchback assumed office during Warmoth’s absence becoming the first African-American governor in the United States. Warmoth had supported a Fusionist government and lost support of some Radical Republicans.
