BRAGG, Thomas (1818-1872) Bragg was a Senator and Attorney General for the Confederate States for four months. The brother of General Braxton Bragg, Thomas was a strong supporter of Jefferson Davis, and his policies. He replaced Judah Benjamin in the Cabinet on November 21, 1861, and opposed the impressement of supplies for the Army without full payment. Leaving the AG's office on March 18, 1862, Bragg resumed his private law practice and worked against the growing calls for peace. Following the war, Bragg was active in efforts to reunite his North Carolina with the Union, for he had never really believed the South could successfully establish itself as a separate nation. Manuscript Document Signed "Tho. Bragg" 1pp. oblong octavo, December 10, 1841, as witness for the receipt of payment. About very good condition.
