October 28, 1945  The Last Rebel

By the early 1830s, cotton exceeded the value of all other American exports, combined. As secession loomed over the nation, a Chicago Daily Times editorial warned that if the South left “in one single blow, our foreign commerce must be reduced to less than one half of what it is now”.

The small New York town that joined the Confederacy,

In 1861, as southern state after southern state chose to succeed with the Union and join the newly formed Confederate States, there was one small territory that likewise chose to join the Confederacy.  For reasons unknown today, the small town of Town Line, then populated by little more than a few hundred people, chose to secceed from the Union with an 85 to 40 vote.  Furthermore 5 men traveled south to join the Confederate Army.

Interestingly, there are no surviving records of Town Line's seccession, and to this day historians have no explanation as to why Town Line chose to secceed.  What is even more interesting was that Town Line's declaration of seccession was completely ignored, neither recognized by the United States or even the Confederacy itself.  Furthermore, it is unknown how official the declaration was, and what the loyalty of its citizens truly was.  While 5 men went south to join the Confederate Army, 20 Town Liners joined the Union Army. 

After the war Town Line's seccession was quickly forgotten.  In 1946 Town Line voted to rejoin the Union.
