Final answer:

The reference information does not confirm the identity of the person who donated his postmaster general salary to wounded soldiers; therefore, a correct answer cannot be provided based on the options given. The information does provide answers to other historical inquiries, such as the vice president during John Adams' presidency and figures involved in various American historical events.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to an individual who donated his salary as postmaster general to support wounded soldiers. While the provided options (George Washington, Daniel Morgan, Benedict Arnold, Benjamin Lincoln) were notable figures during the American Revolution, the question does not match any of the options given. Instead, this act sounds like something Benjamin Franklin might have done, as he was involved in the postmaster position before the revolution. However, the reference information does not confirm this, and so it's impossible to provide an accurate answer based on the options provided.

To tackle the questions provided in the reference information directly, the answers would be as follows:

  1. In the election of 1796, the Federalist John Adams became president, and his vice president was the Republican Thomas Jefferson.
  2. Chester A. Arthur made significant steps towards civil service reform.
  3. George Washington warned about the dangers of political parties as a supporter of federalism.
  4. The Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom was drafted by Thomas Jefferson.
  5. In pursuing a moral imperative in foreign policy, President Wilson put William Jennings Bryan in the position of Secretary of State.
  6. Famous for leading his troops against the Hessians at Trenton, New Jersey, was General George Washington.

Please note, the individual who donated his salary as postmaster general is not explicitly mentioned in the reference information provided, and thus, an accurate answer cannot be given without additional historical context or clarification.
