  4. B. M. Palmer was a clergyman.  At the historic First Presbyterian Church on Lafayette Square, “...the eloquent Dr. Benjamin Morgan Palmer had inveighed against the Yankee abolitionists on Thanksgiving Day, 1860, and fanned the spark of secessionism in New Orleans into a flame.” (Quoted from: Charles L. Dufour, Darwin Fenner: A Life of Service, New Orleans, Louisiana (privately published) p. 20, 1984.
