William Stoker returns to Coffeeville, Texas on furlough

After over eighteen months of service with Walker’s Texas Division, Confederate private William Stoker received a furlough in late January 1864. Stoker left his company on January 24, 1864 and returned home to his wife and daughter in Coffeeville, Texas. While the exact date of his return to duty remains unknown, Stoker was certainly back with the 18th Texas Infantry by late March 1864. Stoker briefly described a long, hard retreat from pursuing Union forces in a letter to his wife in early April 1864. (By Don Sailer)

Election of 1860 (Roark, 2002)

Textbook
James L. Roark et al., eds., The American Promise: A History of the United States, 2nd ed. (2 vols., Boston: Bedford/St. Martin’s, 2002), 1: 483.
An unprecedented number of voters cast ballots on November 6, 1860. Approximately 82 percent of eligible northern men and 70 percent of eligible southern men went to the polls. The Republican platform succeeded in attracting a broad coalition of northern interests, and Lincoln swept all of the eighteen free states except New Jersey, which split its votes between him and Douglas. While Lincoln received only 39 percent of the popular vote, he won easily in the electoral balloting, gaining 180 votes, 28 more than he needed for victory.
