John B. Floyd was Buchanan’s Secretary of War. In December of 1860, being a secessionist, he resigned his cabinet post and returned to his home in Virginia. Accused of having removed arms from Northern to Southern arsenals in preparation for war, and being implicated in the loss of nearly $1 million in bonds from the Department of the Interior, Floyd stormed back to Washington to face his accusers and was exonerated by a Congressional Committee. He was later commissioned a brigadier general by the Confederacy.
