罗伯特杭特 (Robert M. T.) 生于1801421

当北方与南方各州因为奴隶制度等议题而分裂时,杭特主张南方各州,而非北方各州应该组成联盟。他想要成立一个独立的南方国家。

在内战期间,他担任南方联盟的秘书长与参议员。身为美国南方联盟的官员,在战争退出之后,他被捕入狱。在他得到释放之后,杭特回到他最爱的维吉尼亚,并且继续担任公职直到去世。


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.
