Thanks- while I recognize that there can be vast differences based on criteria: who was the most controversial at the time? Who is the most controversial among scholars? Who among the general public? It's still fun to leave it out there and see what people think. Heck, I almost think "most controversial" should be a badge of honor

What about the silverware belonging to Adolf Villeneuve a French citizen? Taken from Mrs S G Ferguson when arrested August 9th 1862, who was released with out trial, although her horses, buggy, silverware were not returned?

I would have to grab the LSU historical review and see if they address it.
I dont know of it.
