The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I was looking for Davis, as he was to be the 8th Democratic member of the commitee

Yeah, he decided it by being replaced. It was the vote that was cast instead of his which decided the matter and the vote cast instead of Davis' was that of Joseph Philo Bradley.

Lincoln had relqtives on both sides, mary Lincoln had one brother fight for the Union and 3 (I believe) for the Cionfederacy. That's one.

I think Mary Lincoln had no less than nine brothers fighting for the confederacy, while she was a vivid supporter of the federal cause. She definitely makes for one example. Please give me two more.

Please give always at least two people to make a pair. Name a southerner with whom Johnson was a good friend. I couldn't find anything about sons of Edwin McMasters Stanton. Can you give me any sources?

I was merely guessing with Stanton...I don't think that that answer is correct, after reflection.

Some historical movies also mention friendships between northerners and southerners who fought on different sides during the war. Some cases are really well known. Come on, it is not that difficult.
