Smith and Shaler doubtless exaggerate the situation, for what assassins creed iv crack fix of secession could there have been when the people had elected the Union candidates for the Border State Convention to be convened at Frankfort on May 27, when they sent nine Unionists out of the ten congressmen to represent them in the special session of Congress, and when on the 5th of the following August, after the battle of Bull Run, they elected to the State Legislature 103 Unionists out of 141 members. How can one conclude then that they would have elected seceders to represent them in a "sovereignty convention". Hodge states that the sympathizers with the Confederacy did not contest to any considerable extent the elections of August, 1861, and consequently the supporters of the Federal Government were in the ascendency in the next legislature. He seems to indicate that the Unionists used fraud, but the records show that the Secessionists, regarding it as a lost cause, in many assassins creed iv crack fix withdrew their candidates. Evidently these elections showed not only that secession was impossible but that neutrality could not last. Men boldly took decisive positions.
