CHARLES FRANCIS ADAMS: UNSUNG HERO: I agree with you 100%

» FortBrooke1824 - I agree with you 100%

And another fine article. Yes, he was not the Ben Franklin of the Revolution but he was just enough to keep England from joining forces with Confederacy. It's also interesting to note that when the Alabama with down in June of 1864, it was an Englishman on the vessel "Dearhound" that rescued Seems. I have never really thought about it before but i wonder if Adams somehow did not influence the battle between the Alabama and Kersage? With Lincoln's nomination in doubt in 64 and an English made ship vrs an American made. Hmmm interesting
