Winslow was born in Fayetteville, North Carolina on January 1, 1810. Winslow graduated from the University of North Carolina.

Winslow was elected to the North Carolina senate in 1854 as a Democrat. Winslow became Speaker of the North Carolina Senate in 1854. Governor David S. Reid resigned from being Governor on December 6, 1854, 1 month before his term of office was supposed to end, while Winslow was Speaker of the Senate. When a Governor resigns from the Senate, the Speaker of the Senate becomes the Governor. This meant that Warren Winslow was the new Governor. Winslow was the Governor for one month until Thomas Bragg was inaugurated on January 1, 1855. Winslow served in the United States House of Representatives from March 1855 to March 1861.

Winslow died on August 16, 1862, in Fayetteville, North Carolina.[1]
