On the other hand, who knows how fast the news might have traveled. It isn't like our instant-access era now, when anyone can find out how a representative voted on specific bills.<br /><br />As you'll see, Charles' ambitions didn't let him stop there with an unpopular vote. He still intended to be in the thick of the action.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-1419466743105297052014-12-15T23:06:54.984-08:002014-12-15T23:06:54.984-08:00Those who voted against secession were indeed in t...Those who voted against secession were indeed in the minority in the South. As I'm sure you've seen, though, there were many different reasons for such votes, and once the issue was passed, what actions were taken next spoke much louder than the vote itself.Jacqi Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03471698670217119444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-24014761280722219962014-12-15T20:44:27.353-08:002014-12-15T20:44:27.353-08:00He has what I would call itchy feet or maybe an ad...He has what I would call itchy feet or maybe an adventurous spirit! :)Far Side of Fiftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995757632158408442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-67151870511412336882014-12-15T13:00:05.131-08:002014-12-15T13:00:05.131-08:00In the past year I have come across a number of an...In the past year I have come across a number of ancestors in Virginia who were Unionists. I wonder what it was like living day to day in an area that was officially Confederate. So far Charles seems to have achieved exactly what he felt he was born for -- some fame and influence.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17863357756727783017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-34805256199669390902014-12-15T09:44:23.462-08:002014-12-15T09:44:23.462-08:00Hmm.. he voted against Secession... that might hav...Hmm.. he voted against Secession... that might have made him unpopular once the Civil War started...and might have encouraged him to move west...afterwards.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5034998384799920884.post-67112525952242245952014-12-15T09:42:48.198-08:002014-12-15T09:42:48.198-08:00Spring Place wasn't all that far from Dalton -...Spring Place wasn't all that far from Dalton - it might have seemed like home to him.Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.com
