        @BeschlossDC > Wood was one of many New York Democrats sympathetic to the Confederacy -- Presided over NYC Police Riots too. Quite a guy.

        @BeschlossDC By "free," of course, he meant free to support the Confederacy by continuing to trade goods and services with the slaveholders.

        @TimJMasterson Great! Now, how many of your friends, or average New Yorkers (or Amers) know that, even after the film Lincoln? @BeschlossDC
