Item Details
Description
[MARYLAND] Thomas G. Pratt (1804-1869) He was the 27th Governor of Maryland from 1845 to 1848 and a U.S. Senator from 1850 to 1857. When the American Civil War began, Pratt was eyed suspiciously by Maryland authorities, as he was staunchly pro-slavery, but mostly pro-South, and even gave a son to the Confederate Army. In 1863, Pratt tried to vote in the November election. He was not allowed to vote because he would not take a loyalty oath. Pratt and his secretary Col. Nicholson were arrested because of the refusal on November 21, 1863. He was imprisoned at Fort Monroe, but was later released. He moved to Baltimore, Maryland in 1864, resuming the practice of law. The same year, Pratt served as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. In 1866, he attended the National Union Convention in Philadelphia. Pratt was one of the attorneys for Jefferson Davis during his trial at Fortress Monroe. DOCUMENT SIGNED as Governor, 1844, appointment of District Justices. Approx. 15-3/4 x 10-1/4. Also signed by Theodorick Bland (1776-1846) American lawyer, statesman, and federal judge in Maryland. His picture is NOT included here.
