Bishop Patrick Neeson Lynch
3rd Bishop of Charleston, SC
One of the causes for the Emancipation Proclamation was the fact that Bishop Lynch, an Irishman, was able to run the Union blockade around Charleston Harbor and traveled to Europe to procure foreign support for the Confederacy. With him, he carried letters of promise from many prominent Confederate state and national representatives describing the various plans for the legislatures to gradually phase out slavery among most (if not all) the states after the war. Upon the Union’s learning of this fact, the Emancipation Proclamation was quickly drafted to hamstring any European involvement procured by Lynch. Just over a year after the address, in an attempt to increase Bishop Lynch’s credibility among the European nations, Jefferson Davis officially appointed Lynch as the Confederate Ambassador to the Holy See, but was ultimately unsuccessful.
Upon his return to South Carolina, he was captured and imprisoned by the Union armies as a prisoner of war. While offered release as a non-combatant and a well respected individual through out both the Confederacy and the Union, he chose to remain a prisoner until the last of the Confederate prisoners were released, acting as chaplain to both the prisoners and guards for the duration of his stay.

Beautiful voice but ridiculous lyrics! 
Mourners line the tracks to bid farewell to Robert F. Kennedy as his funeral train passes on its way from New York City to Washington, D.C.
