Along with Secretery of the Treasury Howell Cobb,Secretery of the Interior Jacob Thompson and the Vice President of the United States John Cabell Breckinridge, John B. Floyd joined his state, Virginia, into the Confederacy. If Floyd was a mole he would not have voluntered to resign three days after Fort Sumter was occupied by Anderson's force. He would have stayed to help with the withdrawel of Federal forces from Fort Pickens, Fort Jefferson and Fort Sumter and keep the South informed of what was going on in the White House.
