Creswell was born and educated in Maryland, and began political life as a democrat. He later became staunch supporter of President Abraham Lincoln, a republican. He was a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1868, but was rewarded by President Ulysses S. Grant to become U.S. Postmaster General. As postmaster general, Creswell introduced penny postcards and reorganized the department. He also proposed a postal savings system and a postal telegraph.
