to include: James Lusk Alcorn (1816-1894) was a Republican governor and a U.S. senator during the Reconstruction of his adopted state of Mississippi. A moderate Republican, Alcorn engaged in a bitter rivalry with Radical Republican "carpetbagger" Adelbert Ames, who defeated him in the 1873 Mississippi gubernatorial race. He briefly served as a brigadier general of Mississippi state troops in Confederate Army service during the early part of the American Civil War. Among the Confederate generals who joined the post-Civil War Republican Party, only James Longstreet had been of higher rank than Alcorn. When secession was declared, Alcorn, although born in what became in 1818 the free, pro-Union state of Illinois, cast his lot with the Confederacy and was appointed as a brigadier general of the Mississippi state militia. Alcorn during the war was in uniform for about eighteen months of inconspicuous field service, mainly in raising troops and in garrison duty. After the resignation of several major generals of the Mississippi state troops, including Jefferson Davis, Earl Van Dorn, and Charles Clark, Alcorn became eligible for promotion in rank, but was passed over because his political foe, John J. Pettus, was the governor of Mississippi at the time. Signed Card, “J.L. Miss.”. ...plus, Henry Stuart Foote (1804-1880) was a United States Senator from Mississippi and the chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations from 1847 to 1852.

During the American Civil War, he served in the First and Second Confederate Congresses Partial from cover, “H.S. Foote, U.S. Senate”. ....plus, Littleton Wilde Moore (1835-1911) graduated University of Mississippi and was a U.S. Representative from Texas. He served as captain in the Confederate States Army throughout the Civil War. Moore was elected to the State constitutional convention in 1875. He served as district judge 1876-1885. Clipped signature “L. W. Moore, Texas”. ... plus, Thomas Ringland Stockdale (March 28, 1828 – January 8, 1899) was a U.S. Representative from Mississippi. During the Civil War, he served in the Confederate States Army. Enlisting as a private in the 16th Mississippi Infantry in 1861, he was promoted to lieutenant, captain and major, and served as regimental adjutant.
