Massachusetts Politics and a Double Vote Tale at Port Hudson
In a Washington Republican summary, Banks’s Port Hudson capture recalls 1861 Massachusetts events. A coalition of Free-Soilers and Democrats elected Sumner to the Senate after a tense ballot and a secret ballot reform. Lewis, a South Carolinian, later appeared at Port Hudson in Banks’s custody, linking past political loyalties to the surrender.
