Senator Lazarus Powell of Kentucky had remained in the U.S. Senate at the outbreak of war, despite calls from his home state and elsewhere for him to resign. He remained a critic of the administration throughout the war. An attempt to remove him from office failed when a resolution stating that he had "assisted in seducing citizens into rebellion and treason" was defeated on a vote of 11 to 28. His fellow senator from Kentucky, Garret Davis, was the only Democrat to vote for the resolution. (By John Osborne)
