• Politicians Who Received the Medal of Honor
• (note wierd URL!)
• BLACK, John Charles
• Loyal Legion Vignettes

Not supported by either source:

"However, he decided to go into politics." People pursue law as a means to enter politics, or find that they have been slowly drawn into it without any decision.

"until he resigned only several months before his term was to expire" "Only" implies something unstated; his resignation is not of interest (except to chroniclers of who was where when) without more info on the circumstances.

"Black served as a member of the United States Civil Service Commission from 1903-1915." (Congressional bio: "member of the United States Civil Service Commission 1904-1913"

Political Graveyard (ref above) has for him "candidate for Democratic nomination for Vice President, 1888;" has the only support for our article United States presidential election, 1888#Democratic Party nomination lk'g him as the minor contender for the VP nom, but the identification of the two as one is not a slam dunk. (This was before he was in Congress.) I didn't add for lack of another independent source.
