    Yesterday's Question: Of the eleven Confederate states, how many had men in Davis's Confederate cabinet? Nine, only Arkansas and Tennessee were not represented.

    This will be the second-to-last question in this game. Here is today's one point question:

    Who wrote to President Jefferson Davis, stating that it was in the interests of "honor and safety" to seize Fort Sumter?

    Expect the next trivia question to be posted tomorrow at about 7AM EDT. Please post your answer to this question before that time. Thank you!

    A note on Question #29, anyone who answered seven will be given credit, because that is also technically correct.

    Charles Francis Adams, of the blue- blood Massachusetts Adams clan.
    'It is the soldier, not the reporter, who has given us freedom of the press. It is the soldier, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech. It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, who has given us the freedom to demonstrate. It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag'
