Magnificent Destiny and a single vote shaping history
Editorial uses Paul I Wellman novel excerpts to illustrate how one vote decides critical outcomes. It recounts Freeman Clark’s death after voting in 1844 Indiana and links his solitary vote to Kelso’s Senate win, Hannigan’s election, and Texas annexation. It notes the broader theme that a dying man’s ballot can alter national fate.
