How was he reelected?

[edit]

Going by what's in the article, I'm surprised he managed to stay out of prison, let alone continue to be elected to various offices until his death! --24.4.143.174 02:35, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The following comment was made in the article on 19 September, 2007 by an anonymous user. I have moved it to this talk page.--HarryHenryGebel (talk) 19:32, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article should note that Wood broke with Tammany Hall and formed his own Mozart Hall organization after infighting led to his defeat in the election of 1857 -- E.A. McKay, "NYC in Civil War." Furthermore, Wood did not head a monolithic Democratic machine at any time, and he suggested that NYC secede only if the wheat states like Illinois and Indiana seceded. Even this suggestion was greeted with considerable derision and was never given serious consideration. Within weeks, after Fort Sumter was bombarded, NYC was swept by a wave of patriotism, the city's archbishop raised the American flag over old St. Patrick's, and the ever duplicitous Wood was raising a regiment to fight for the Union.
