Oliver Perry Temple (1820-1907), a lawyer and a Unionist, told his regional audiences that slavery was better protected under the Constitution than it would be with an act of rebellion. The rest of Tennessee saw it otherwise, and the state joined the Confederacy. He spent much of the first half of the war providing legal defense for Unionists who had been charged with treason by Confederate authorities.
