William Axton Stokes
William Axton Stokes (1814–1877) was a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, attorney who contributed notes and references to an American edition of Mathew Hale's (1609–1676) ''Historia placitorum coronae'' (''History of the pleas of the crown'') published by R. H. Small of Philadelphia in 1847.
==Civil War service==
Stokes later served as a major in the U.S. Infantry during the American Civil War, including a period in 1861 commanding at the 18th U.S. Infantry Headquarters, Camp Thomas, Franklin County, Ohio.〔“William Axton Stokes Papers.” University of Delaware Library, Special Collections Department. http://www.lib.udel.edu/ud/spec/findaids/stokes.htm.〕
His stirring speech, at the Union Convention of Westmoreland County, PA in 1861, was delivered in support of the united American Republic and in favor of the war to crush rebellion. He denied the rebel cause by systematically positing that the rebel states have no right of secession, no grounds for revolution, and no justifiable argument against Abraham Lincoln’s election to the presidency.〔Speech of Maj. Wm. A. Stokes, U.S. Army, Delivered at the Union Convention, Westmoreland County, PA, September 1861, Pittsburgh: Barr and Myers, 1861.
