message: Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana all had representation in the 37th congress, in those areas that were controlled by Union forces; were these truly all vacant for the 38th congress, or is this an oversight? --Golbez (talk) 18:23, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know the details, but there were disputes about whether they were properly reconstructed... AnonMoos (talk) 01:42, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I mean before reconstruction. The 37th congress had representatives from Northern Virginia, parts of Tennessee, and New Orleans, because these had either been captured early on or never lost. But this article says all seats for the 38th were vacant. Unless you mean those areas as well. The whole thing was complicated. --Golbez (talk) 03:35, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

message: I think more clarity is needed about the difference.  From what I can tell from looking at the names, my sense is that the Unconditional Unionists were effectively Republicans by another name, whereas the "Unionists" (sans unconditional) were more of a third force.  Unconditional Unionists like Henry Winter Davis, for instance, and B. Gratz Brown, were essentially Republicans.  From what I can tell, most of the (Non-Unconditional) Unionists like Garrett Davis and Reverdy Johnson, on the other hand, were old Whigs who were in the process of becoming Democrats.  But more clarity from reliable sources would be helpful.  Obviously, the Congressional Biographical Directory won't provide any such clarity. john k (talk) 04:48, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
