Sumner Amends Senate Picture Policy in 1865 Debate
In February 1865 a Senate resolution on a Powell Capitol picture faced Sumner's amendment barring a victory over Union citizens. Sumner spoke, amendment rejected, Wilson objected, while Gen. Anderson praised the stance. Also noted is Sawmmner’s earlier battle satire proposal and a St Louis group forming the Gallants Club to escort single women to events, with strict character checks and obedience to a committee.
