羅伯特杭特 (Robert M. T.) 生於1801421

當北方與南方各州因為奴隸制度等議題而分裂時,杭特主張南方各州,而非北方各州應該組成聯盟。他想要成立一個獨立的南方國家。

在內戰期間,他擔任南方聯盟的秘書長與參議員。身為美國南方聯盟的官員,在戰爭結束之後,他被捕入獄。在他得到釋放之後,杭特回到他最愛的維吉尼亞,並且繼續擔任公職直到去世。


When the Northern and Southern states split over issues like slavery, Hunter called for union, not with the North, but among the Southern states. He wanted to form a separate Southern nation.

During the Civil War, he served as Confederate Secretary of State and in the Confederate Senate. As an officer of the Confederate States of America, he was captured and imprisoned at the war's end. After his release, Hunter returned to his beloved Virginia, where he continued to serve in public office until his death.
