Write two paragraphs describing the different points of view in the following scenarios: In the first paragraph, you are a Republican senator who has just returned to Congress to find that O. M. Roberts, former president of the Texas Secession Convention is now a U. S. senator from that state. As a dedicated member of the United States Senate, explain why you believe it is wrong for Roberts to be there.

In the second paragraph you will take the part of O. M. Roberts. Explain why you believe you should represent Texas in the Senate despite your leadership in the Texas Secession Convention.

Republican senator:

O. M. Roberts:

Answers will vary, but student objections to Roberts as senator may include: A man who has openly opposed the U.S (Constitution) should not be allowed to make laws affecting the country. Now that the Confederacy has lost the war, former leaders may seek to bring down the U.S. by other means. If Texas is sincere about wanting to re-join the Union, it must select leaders who favor a Union. Roberts’ defense of himself as senator may include: He was fairly elected by the citizens of Texas. It is up to the voters of Texas to say who will represent them, not another senator who simply does not agree with Roberts’ former politics. For the country to reunite and move forward, it is necessary to bury the past.
