	John Slidell (1793-1871)
		John Slidell (1793-1871) was a senator and diplomat to Mexico during the Mexican-American War.
		Slidell was a strenuous supporter of the doctrines of state-rights, and, when Louisiana passed the ordinance of secession, he withdrew from the senate with his colleague, after making a defiant speech.
		Slidell's mission to France, which had for its object the recognition of the Confederate states by the French government, was a failure, but the well-known sympathy of Napoleon III, who at that time was deeply interested in the project of a Mexican empire under Maximilian, did much to favor the Confederate cause.
