**George Michael Decker Hahn** (November 24, 1830 – March 15, 1886), was an attorney, politician, publisher and [planter](/source/Planter_(plantation_owner)) in [New Orleans](/source/New_Orleans), Louisiana. He served twice in [Congress](/source/United_States_Congress) during two widely separated periods, elected first as a [Unionist](/source/Unionist_politician_(American_Civil_War)) to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1862, as a Republican to the U.S. Senate in 1865, and later as a Republican to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1884. He was elected as the 19th [Governor of Louisiana](/source/List_of_Governors_of_Louisiana), serving from 1864 to 1865 during the [American Civil War](/source/American_Civil_War), when the state was occupied by Union troops. He was the first German-born governor in the United States,[2] and is also claimed as the first ethnic Jewish governor.[3] By that time, he was a practicing [Episcopalian](/source/Episcopal_Church_(United_States)).[4]

In 1865, Hahn was elected to the U.S. Senate, but [Radical Republicans](/source/Radical_Republicans) refused to allow him or other senators-elect from former Confederate states to be seated. Later, he was elected for several terms as a Republican to the state House during the [Reconstruction era](/source/Reconstruction_era_(United_States)), where he was also elected as Speaker. Hahn was active as a publisher and editor, owning and operating three newspapers in succession that supported the Republican Party, its program, and its candidates in the state. He spent much of his wealth in supporting these papers. Hahn continued to be politically active, being elected to Congress from [Louisiana's 2nd congressional district](/source/Louisiana's_2nd_congressional_district) in 1884 with a strong majority. He served about a year before his death in office.

## Early life and education

Hahn was born in 1830 as the last child in his family, in [Klingenmünster](/source/Klingenm%C3%BCnster), [Palatinate](/source/Palatinate_(region)), then part of the [Kingdom of Bavaria](/source/Kingdom_of_Bavaria), now of [Rhineland-Palatinate](/source/Rhineland-Palatinate), [Germany](/source/Germany). His father died before he was born.[5][6] Some sources indicate that Hahn's parents were Jewish.[3][7]

With his widowed mother and four older siblings, Hahn immigrated as a child to the United States, arriving in [New York City](/source/New_York_City). The family traveled to the [Republic of Texas](/source/Republic_of_Texas), before settling in [New Orleans](/source/New_Orleans) in 1840. The following year, Hahn's mother died of [yellow fever](/source/Yellow_fever) and the children were orphaned.[5] With the help of his older siblings, Hahn continued his education and graduated from City High School. In 1849, at the age of 19, he began [reading law](/source/Reading_law) under [Christian Roselius](/source/Christian_Roselius), a prominent [Whig](/source/Whig_party_(United_States)) attorney and later [Attorney General of Louisiana](/source/List_of_Attorneys_General_of_Louisiana).[5] In 1851, Hahn graduated from the University of Louisiana ([Tulane University](/source/Tulane_University)) with a law degree. He worked in Roselius's office after getting his degree.[8]

## Political career

The following year Hahn was elected to the New Orleans city school board at the age of 22; he ran the school system as its director. He joined the [Democratic party](/source/Democratic_Party_(United_States)) faction led by [Pierre Soulé](/source/Pierre_Soul%C3%A9). In the Presidential Election of 1860, Hahn supported [Stephen Douglas](/source/Stephen_Douglas).[5] He was fluent in English, French and German.

In 1860, Hahn opposed secession, delivering a pro-[Union](/source/United_States) speech in [Lafayette Square](/source/Lafayette_Square%2C_New_Orleans). He avoided taking an oath of allegiance to the [Confederacy](/source/Confederate_States_of_America). Opposed to secession and a supporter of the [Union](/source/Union_(American_Civil_War)), Hahn was elected in 1862 as the [U.S. representative](/source/U.S._representative) from [Louisiana's 2nd congressional district](/source/Louisiana's_2nd_congressional_district). This incorporated most of New Orleans, which had been occupied by Union forces.

Hahn was one of two Louisiana Representatives seated in the [37th Congress](/source/37th_Congress), which adjourned on March 4, 1863, during the Civil War.[5] Eventually, Hahn advised that there should be no more representation from Louisiana until it was "reconstructed." During his time in Washington, Hahn met and befriended President [Abraham Lincoln](/source/Abraham_Lincoln).[9]

## Term as governor

In March 1864 Colonel's Short Villa briefly served as the executive mansion of the newly elected Federal Governor of Louisiana, Michael Hahn.

In 1864, with almost all of Louisiana under federal occupation, General [Nathaniel P. Banks](/source/Nathaniel_P._Banks), the [Union Military](/source/Union_Army) Commander of the [Department of the Gulf](/source/Army_of_the_Gulf) (responsible, among other things, for civil order in occupied Louisiana), called state elections and convened a constitutional convention. [Benjamin Franklin Flanders](/source/Benjamin_Franklin_Flanders) and [Thomas Jefferson Durant](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thomas_Jefferson_Durant&action=edit&redlink=1), prominent Unionists, opposed the moderate plan called for by General Banks. Hahn purchased a pro-slavery [newspaper](/source/Newspaper), the *New Orleans True Delta,* and used it to promote moderate Unionism supporting Banks' plan, including emancipation of slaves.[9] Hahn ran for governor with the Free-State Party and won the election with 54% or 11,411 votes. [J. Q. A. Fellows](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=J._Q._A._Fellows&action=edit&redlink=1), a conservative Democrat, received 26% or 2,996 votes; and Benjamin Franklin Flanders, the radical Republican, received 20% or 2,232 votes.

Hahn was elected as the first German-born governor of an [American state](/source/U.S._state).[2] He is also claimed as the first ethnic Jewish governor in the United States;[3] by then he was worshipping as an Episcopalian.[4]

Hahn's inauguration in [Lafayette Square, New Orleans](/source/Lafayette_Square%2C_New_Orleans), featured a huge brass band led by [Patrick Gilmore](/source/Patrick_Gilmore).

On March 4, 1864, Hahn was inaugurated as governor of Union-held Louisiana in an elaborate ceremony paid for by General Banks.[10] As governor, Hahn supported [universal education](/source/Universal_education).[11]

In his term, Hahn tried to gain suffrage for [freedmen](/source/Freedmen) and previously [free people of color](/source/Free_people_of_color), but it was too early. He approved the state's ratification of the [15th Amendment](/source/Fifteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution). Hahn's administration made serious attempts to ensure enfranchisement of black Louisianans, laid the foundation for a public school system for blacks, and began an aborted [Reconstruction](/source/Reconstruction_Era) in Louisiana. Governor Hahn played a leading role in the state constitutional convention of 1864, but he was opposed by [Major General](/source/Major_General) [Stephen A. Hurlbut](/source/Stephen_A._Hurlbut), who replaced Banks as commander of the Department of the Gulf. General Hurlburt refused to recognize the state civil government of Hahn.

Hahn resigned as governor in March 1865, and was elected by the state legislature to the [U.S. Senate](/source/U.S._Senate) in 1865.[9] However, [Radical Republicans](/source/Radical_Republicans) did not seat him, as they believed the state had more work to do before being allowed to rejoin the Union.[12]

Lieutenant Governor [James Madison Wells](/source/James_Madison_Wells) succeeded Hahn as governor after his resignation.[13]

## Political editor and congressman

After [President Lincoln was assassinated](/source/Assassination_of_Abraham_Lincoln) in April 1865, [Congress](/source/U.S._Congress) refused to seat any Representatives or Senators from the former Confederacy until a [reconstruction](/source/Reconstruction_Era) plan could be carried out. Senator-elect Hahn returned to New Orleans and allied with radical Republicans calling for a [convention](/source/Convention_(meeting)) to revise Louisiana's Constitution of 1864 to include [black](/source/Black_people) [suffrage](/source/Suffrage). He was shot and severely wounded on July 30, 1866, in the [New Orleans Riot](/source/New_Orleans_Riot).[5]

In 1867, Hahn became editor and manager of the *New Orleans Republican* newspaper, his platform for opposing President [Andrew Johnson](/source/Andrew_Johnson)'s lenient Reconstruction program. In 1872, Hahn retired to a [plantation](/source/Plantations_in_the_American_South) in [St. Charles Parish](/source/St._Charles_Parish%2C_Louisiana). There he established the village of [Hahnville](/source/Hahnville%2C_Louisiana) and published his third newspaper, the *St. Charles Herald.*[5] On his plantation, he grew [sugar cane](/source/Sugar_cane), the common commodity crop in the "sugar parishes" of this region.[14]

From 1872 to 1878 Hahn served in the [Louisiana State Legislature](/source/Louisiana_State_Legislature). He was elected as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee and Speaker of the [Louisiana House of Representatives](/source/Louisiana_House_of_Representatives) amid the [Wheeler Compromise](/source/Wheeler_Compromise). In 1878 he was appointed as Superintendent of the [U.S. Mint](/source/New_Orleans_Mint) in New Orleans, serving until January 1879. At that point, Hahn was appointed [Judge](/source/Judge) of the 26th state judicial district, which included [Saint John the Baptist](/source/St._John_the_Baptist_Parish%2C_Louisiana), [Saint Charles](/source/St._Charles_Parish%2C_Louisiana), and [Jefferson](/source/Jefferson_Parish%2C_Louisiana) parishes. During the 1880 elections, Hahn established and edited the *New Orleans Ledger* to promote Republican candidates.

Although Democrats had regained control of the state legislature, Hahn was personally admired for his integrity and consistency of position. In 1884, Hahn was elected to [Congress](/source/U.S._Congress) as the Republican candidate from [Louisiana's 2nd congressional district](/source/Louisiana's_2nd_congressional_district) – a race that he won handily by 3,000 votes.[8] Serving as the only Republican Congressman from Louisiana, Hahn died on March 15, 1886, in his room at the [Willard Hotel](/source/Willard_InterContinental_Washington) in [Washington, D.C.](/source/Washington%2C_D.C.) He suffered a ruptured blood vessel near his heart.[5] His body was returned to New Orleans.

Hahn's funeral was conducted by an Episcopal priest, and he was buried in New Orleans's [Metairie Cemetery](/source/Metairie_Cemetery).[15] He had never married and died poor. He had spent much of his previous wealth in trying to maintain the Republican-oriented newspapers he published.[16]
