Second Chance Saturday is here. Everyone can answer question one for one point. Anyone below the "2 point line" can earn 2 extra points if they answer both questions correctly.

1) Ever wonder why so many U.S. warships of the Civil War era bore American Indian names? A ship builder is largely responsible. When he agreed to supervise the construction of twenty ironclads, he let contracts in with a special clause stipulating that each vessel should be given an Indian name. Name this man.

2) Bonus: What border state was declared neutral by the state's pro-Southern governor?

Here are the scores after the last question:
