The Postmaster General is the executive head of the United States Postal Service. From 1872 to 1971, the postmaster general was the head of an executive department concerned with the ''postal service'' (the United States Post Office Department). During that period, he was a member of the President of the United States United States Cabinet. The Cabinet office of Postmaster General was often given to a new President's campaign manager or other key political supporter, and was considered something of a sinecure. In 1971, the Post Office Department was re-organized into the United States Postal Service, a government-owned corporation. Thus, the Postmaster General is no longer a member of the Cabinet. During the American Civil War, postal services in the Confederate States of America were provided by the Confederate States of America Post-office Department, headed by Postmaster General John Henninger Reagan. ==Postmasters-General under the Continental Congress== {| border="3" !Name!!Date appointed |- |Benjamin Franklin |July 26, 1775 |- |Richard Bache |November 7, 1776 |- |Ebenezer Hazard |January 28, 1782 |} ==Cabinet-level Postmasters-General, 1789-1971== {| border="3" !Name!!Date appointed!!President of the United States served under |- |Samuel Osgood |September 26, 1789 |George Washington |- |Timothy Pickering |August 12, 1791 |Washington |- |Joseph Habersham |February 25, 1795 |Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson |- |Gideon Granger |November 28, 1801 |Jefferson, James Madison |- |Return J.
