Henry Watterson

Watterson was a Confederate chief of scouts and later Confederate newspaper editor who received an honorary degree in 1891. He briefly represented Kentucky in the U.S. House of Representatives.

"Whether the War of Sections--as it should be called, because, except in Eastern Tennessee and in three of the Border States, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri, it was nowise a civil war--could have been averted must ever remain a question of useless speculation. In recognizing the institution of slavery, with no provision for its ultimate removal, the Federal Union set out embodying the seeds of certain trouble."
