	Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.2, Entry 228, KENTUCKY: Library of Economics and Liberty
		With the exception of this federalist success, the state was under republican (democratic) control during its early years, and in 1801 the tenure of the dominant party was made permanent and secure by the national overthrow of the federal party.
		The state's electoral votes were cast for Washington and Jefferson in 1792 and for Jefferson and Burr in 1796; and from that time until 1830 the governors, legislatures and congressmen were democratic, though in 1824 the electoral votes of Kentucky were naturally given to Henry Clay.
		From this time the position of the state was never ambiguous, and those citizens of the state who went into the confederate armies warred against their state as well as against their national government.

	USA-Presidents.Info - John Tyler
		Drawn into the newly-organized Whig Party, Tyler was elected Vice President in 1840 as running mate to William Henry Harrison, on the slogan "Tippecanoe—and Tyler too!" and assumed the presidency upon Harrison's death a month into his term.
		Calhoun as Secretary of State, to 'reform' the Democrats, the gravitational swing of the Whigs to identity with 'the North' and the Democrats as the party of 'the South,' led the way to the sectional party politics of the next decade.
		Tyler had long been an advocate of states rights, believing that the question of a state's "free" or "slave" status ought to be decided at the state level, with no input from the federal government.

	American Constitutional Reform and the Confederate Convention
		The Confederate Convention, on the other hand, came together with a mandate that the new union be based upon the principles of the 1787 Constitution.
		The United States Constitution specified that senators were to be elected by the legislatures of the states, but no provision was made for the time at which elections were to be held.
		Often, when there was a change of dominant parties in a state's legislature, the new majority party would attempt to have federal senators elected far in advance of the beginning of the terms of office in order to ensure a senator of the 'right' party was elected.

	Confederate States of America
		The number of states in the Confederacy was increased to 11 by the secession of Virginia in April and of Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina in May. The provisional Confederate Congress, which had met for four sessions between February 4, 1861 and February 17, 1862, was replaced by a permanent legislature on February 18, 1862.
		He was in constant conflict with extreme exponents of the doctrine of states' rights, and his attempts to have high military officers appointed by the president were opposed by the governors of the states.
		Davis was nevertheless responsible for the raising of the formidable Confederate armies, the notable appointment of General Robert E. Lee as commander of the Army of Virginia, and the encouragement of industrial enterprise throughout the South.

		The Whigs were led by Henry Clay of Kentucky, Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, and others who called for an active national government and who had a nationalist answer to the growing problem of slavery.
		Northern Whig evangelicals proposed new forms of prisons that were meant less to punish the bodies of criminals (through whippings, incarceration, and execution) than to improve their souls.

	Alexander Hamilton Stephens
		He was denounced as a traitor to his party because of his support of annexation, but he later became the leader of the Whig opposition to the war with Mexico.
		Before the Georgia legislature in November 1860, and again in that state's secession convention in January 1861, he strongly opposed secession, but when Georgia seceded he followed his state, assisted in forming the new government, and was elected vice-president of the Confederate States.
		His policy was to preserve constitutional government in the South and strengthen the anti-war party in the North by convincing it that the Lincoln administration had abandoned such government; to the same end he urged, in 1864, the unconditional discharge of Federal prisoners in the South.

	Richmond [VA] Whig, Jan-June 1864
		He caused a Confederate soldier to be hanged near Elizabeth City under the plea that he was a guerilla, notwithstanding the latter are commissioned and recognized by Gov. Vance as a part of the State force of North Carolina.
		We state, on the authority of a member of Congress from North Carolina, that when the ladies were taken to Norfolk, the arms of one of them was bleeding from the tightness of the cords with which they were bound.
		A large party were gotten up by the bride's family, and a man who was conceded to be a justice of the peace, because he had held the office for twenty years before the cruel war had commenced, performed the ceremony that united two loving hearts that had but a single thought.

	Confederate Leaders
		As one Confederate official noted in 1864, Davis seemed "to possess a most unenviable facility for converting friends into enemies." As a result, he quarreled long and often with Confederate congressmen, generals, governors, and the press.
		Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson, famous Confederate general of the American Civil War, was born on January 21, 1824, in Clarksburg, Harrison County, (West) Virginia, the son of Jonathan and Julia (Neale) Jackson.
		On the outbreak of the war between the States he espoused heartily the cause of the South and was appointed major-general in the provisional army of Tennessee, May 9, 1861.

		Although a Democrat, he opposed his party’s leader, President Andrew Jackson, when Jackson forced South Carolina to accept a federal tariff in 1832, and he voted to censure the president for removing deposits from the Bank of the United States in 1834.
		The Whig party, hoping to broaden its electoral appeal, chose this independent-minded Democrat as William Henry Harrison’s running mate in the presidential election of 1840.
		He and the Whig leadership were therefore infuriated when Tyler vetoed two successive Whig-sponsored bills that would have allowed a national bank to open branches in the states without state consent.

	John Tyler
		Tyler's career as senator was marked by a degree of independence which at times made his party position uncertain, notwithstanding the fact that his political ideas continued to be those of a strict constructionist.
		His hostility to a high tariff policy, however, did not prevent him from condemning the South Carolina ordinance of nullification; and in the presidential election of 1832 he supported Andrew Jackson, to whose political principles and methods, as to those of his advisers, he was invincibly opposed, as the "least objectionable" of the various candidates.
		In December of that year the Whigs, relying upon his record in Congress as a sufficient declaration of political faith, nominated him for vice-president on the ticket with William Henry Harrison, expecting that the nomination would win support for the party in the South.

	Still More Trouble for the Lincoln Cartel by Thomas DiLorenzo
		The Confederate soldier also knew that the Emancipation Proclamation "exempted all the slaves in the North," and in all the areas of the South that were under federal army control at the time.
		He is the author of The Rise and Fall of the American Whig Party (a.k.a., the real "Party of Lincoln"); The Political Crisis of the 1850s; and co-author of The Civil War and Reconstruction.
		He correctly notes that slavery was constitutionally secure in 1861; that neither Abraham Lincoln nor his party opposed southern slavery; that Lincoln supported a constitutional amendment to prohibit the federal government from ever interfering with southern slavery; and that the issue of slavery in 1860 evolved around its expansion to the territories.

		The South, which was known as the Confederate States of America, seceded from the North, which was also known as the Union, for many different reasons.
		It repealed the Missouri Compromise of 1820 that had prohibited slavery in the territories north of 36° 30', and stated that the inhabitants of the territories should decide for themselves the legality of slaveholding.
		The other states to follow and succeed were: Mississippi on Jan 9, 1861, Florida on January 10, Alabama on Jan 11, Georgia on January 19, Louisiana on January 26, and Texas on February 1.

	Confederate Operations in Canada
		It is not stated that the "raiders" took their departure from Canada, or whether they had gathered and concealed themselves near the village in which they committed their outrage.
		Probably many of our readers saw in the midnight despatches in our last impression that a Richmond paper (the Whig) threatened reprisal for the horrible destruction which has taken place in the Shenandoa Valley, by burning Northern towns; and that Canada was to be made one of the places of rendezvous.
		According to one account, which has reached us by a passenger from Rouses Point, the affair is rather a Bank robbery than a Confederate raid, by persons who had concealed themselves in the vicinity, one of the Banks in St. Albans being erroneously supposed to have a great deal of gold in deposit.

	Outline of U.S. History
		In due time conventions were held in each of the former Confederate states to repeal the ordinances of secession, repudiate the war debt, and draft new state constitutions.
		Following this, the Congress passed a 14th Amendment to the Constitution, stating that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." This repudiated the Dred Scott ruling, which had denied slaves their right of citizenship.
		However, their appeal as the party of strong government and national development increasingly would be perceived as one of allegiance to big business and finance.

		Democrats nominated dark horse candidate Polk on the ninth ballot of the Democratic National Convention after party favorite Martin Van Buren lost the bid because of his opposition to annexing Texas, a position deemed unacceptable by Southerners and by former president Andrew Jackson.
		Playing on his relative obscurity, the Whig opposition sniped "Who is James K. Polk?" An experienced and eloquent orator dubbed the "Napoleon of the Stump," Polk campaigned vigorously, surprising many with his stalwart support of westward expansion—a hotly-debated issue dodged by other candidates.

		From state politics, he moved to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1847, where he voiced his opposition to the U.S. war with Mexico.
		This reasoning was based upon the doctrine of states' rights, which placed ultimate sovereignty with the states.
