Emerson Etheridge
[edit]
- ... that after Emerson Etheridge (pictured) returned to the U.S. Congress even though his state had seceded, he was made Clerk of the House of Representatives?
ALT1:... that Congressman Emerson Etheridge (pictured) of Tennessee opposed his state's secession from the Union and continued to serve in Congress, but turned against President Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation?- ALT2:... that Emerson Etheridge (pictured) of Tennessee stayed in Congress even though his state had seceded from the Union and joined the Confederacy?

5x expanded by Bms4880 (talk). Nominated by Orlady (talk) at 02:31, 23 April 2014 (UTC).
This is a fivefold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The image is in the public domain and no QPQ is required. Going with either the original hook or ALT2, both of which are sourced, because ALT1 seemed less interesting to me. No policy issues detected. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:54, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
