MyG-grandfather was a Tennessee State Senator and voted against the War, he did take up arms and fight however
He lost all during reconstruction..
very few who did not...
my wife's great X2 was a state senator too here....Levi Wade, owner of Bellevue Plantation in Rutherford county
Levi managed to hold onto the farm (1500 acres) till 1873 when a NY bank went under and took his notes with them....then he started selling off in pieces...the last was sold by a descendent in the 1950s for a neighborhood between Murfreesboro and Smyrna
we still maintain the family cemetery there.....the slave one too btw for all you sorryassed race baiters here
