[edit] artcile additions
That was me who added that stuff under the 66.something IP. It logged me out while i was editing. I tried to source everything, i found alot of interesting info on morton i tried to include.
One thing though, read one source where it talked like morton was kind of moderate during reconstruction, but another where it blasts him for being radical. Not sure which is accurate. I went with the radical one, (i think that sounds more like the man, he did vote to impeach johnson, i think that qualifies him for radical status) but i footnoted both. The conflicting sources are Biographical and Historical Sketches of Early Indiana By William Wesley Woollen Pg 138 -saying he was radical. and Lockridge, Ross F. The Story of Indiana, 1957, pg. 325-332 -sounds to me to say he is moderate. Cool10191 (talk) 18:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
