At the late Philadelphia Convention Parson Brownlow delivered a speech defending negro suffrage and impartial suffrage declaring loyalty of black citizens preferable to loyalty of whites and expressing strong support for civil equality. He stated he would rather share wealth with loyal blacks than with disloyal whites and preferred a loyal black grave over a rebel grave.

Relerned Confederate returns home after prison ordeal
A disjointed 19th century report tells of a Confederate fighter released from enemy prisons and making his way toward home in Augusts County, then Indiana, and finally Kentucky. He killed a Federal officer in a hotel brawl after defending a fellow Confederate, faced imprisonment, and was later escorted toward his homeland as rumors and memories of the Civil War linger.
