It's time for your prediction league history lesson!

 

James Alcorn was the former governor of Mississippi. He was against succession because he did not think the South could win a war and it would devastate their lands. Once it started though, he joined the Confederacy. He lost his sons, was imprisoned, and believed the war was insane. Throughout the war, he grew his wealth by continuing to (illegally?) trade cotton with the North (cotton tended by a large host of slaves).

 

After the war, he supported the Fourteenth and other various Civil Rights endeavors (as limited as they were). He supported the foundation of a segregated black college and schools. He was a white supremacist, but much like his opinion on the Civil War, he believed continuing to fight would result in more pain than working to raise the position of former slaves.

 

When black leaders wanted to reopen a white college that had been closed for the Civil War as a black college, Alcorn supported the endeavor and the school was named for him due to this support.
 

Anyway, we're going to crush them worse than Alcorn ever feared the South would be crushed - 65

 

The Northern Aggressors - 93
