War and politics dominate Civil War week in 1861 session
Congress meets in extra session to consider war measures and declares speakers as the Capitol buzzes with movement of Union forces and skirmishes at Falling Waters and Carthage while Lincoln argues policy and Patterson’s army invades Virginia. The era’s key figures include Galusha Grow as speaker candidate and Franz Sigel in action near Carthage.
