In Response To: Re: Quote & NBF ()

I don't have that information on the Northern States, will look for it, and it seems that TN isn't the only Southern state that helped us whip ourselves.

By the end of the Civil War, Missouri had supplied nearly 110,000 troops for the Union Army and about 40,000 troops for the Confederate Army.

Jefferson Davis had served as a U.S. Senator for many years and as Secretary of War under President Franklin Pierce before becoming the President of the Confederate States of America. After the war's end, former Confederate President Jefferson Davis was found and arrested in South Georgia on May 10, 1865. Lincoln had already been assassinated on April 14 and the north was driven crazy with hatred for the South, demanding Davis' head on a platter.

Held illegally in a military prison for several years, Davis was charge but never tried for treason. The U.S. Supreme Court simply refused to sanction it. They knew that what the Southern states did was not treason, but an attempt to exercise their constitutional rights. If Jefferson Davis were brought to trial, it would only serve to prove the South's innocence and the north's guilt. While imprisoned, support for Davis poured in from all over the world. From the Vatican, Pope Pius IX sent Davis a "Crown of Thorns" made with his own hands, to symbolize Davis' sacrifice for the cause of freedom. This crown can be seen today on display at the Confederate Museum in New Orleans
