Abstract:
A continuation of a previous article, it discusses the governorship of Henry Toole Clark during the Civil War. More an administrator than a politician, Clark faced severe challenges caused by the Civil War including shortages of salt, men, gunpowder, and uniforms. Clark only stayed in office until 1862, after which he retired to his plantation.
