7629 | 7628 | text: Stark faced an allegation of disloyalty to the Union. On Feb. 27, 1862, the |
7630 | 7629 | Senate voted to seat him 26-19 since his public statements came before he was |

7633 | | - on Stark's public statements, he supported the rebellion and Charles Sumner introduced |
7634 | | - a resolution to expel him. On Jun. 6, 1862, the Senate expulsion vote was defeated |
