Biographical / Historical

"The Union League, also called Loyal League, in U.S. history includes any of the associations originally organized in the North to inspire loyalty to the Union cause during the American Civil War. During Reconstruction, they spread to the South to ensure Republicans of support among newly enfranchised blacks."

James Madison Edmunds was President of the National Council of the Union League from 1862 to 1869.
