so they disowned him?

The Senators that left to join the Confederacy did so because their respective States recalled them. At that time, Federal Senators were not elected by popular vote by the citizenry of a State but were selected by a States Legislature. They represented the State at the Federal level and not the citizens of their State. Before the Seventeenth Amendment was passed in 1913 every State had a law that gave the power to send and recall Senators to either the Governor or State Legislature. Most of the southern Senators were recalled from Washington, some against their wishes. To lump them all together is unfortunate as there were some who sought to seek a diplomatic and peaceful resolution to the foreseen war.

Nice video overall. To the criticism you're receiving over lumping all Confederate senators together despite their obligations to their state: the could have easily resigned or protested. That being said, few southern senators really disagreed with the succession of their states or withdrawal of their colleagues so it doesn't make much of a difference. Jefferson Davis was famously against succession and fought for the preservation of the Union. However once his state left he resigned his seat. On different note; I love reading the comments on you're videos. Despite so many videos about history and civics readily available on your channel, some people don't seem to understand the basics of either. Plus people commenting current or recently-made former-senators clearly didn't pay attention to the literal first minute of your video.

Vardaman (1861-1930) (D) a twofer both for Mississippi, Benjamin Tiliman (1847-1918) (D), and Cole L. Blease (1868-1942) (D) another twofer for South Carolina not just cause they where racist but a special kind of Racism and some of the most most divisive, and hateful people in American history.

You forgot Jesse Helms, the longest-serving popularly elected Senator in North Carolina's history. Helms helped organize and fund the conservative resurgence in the 1970s, focusing on Ronald Reagan's quest for the White House as well as helping many local and regional candidates. His efforts here was key in leading the Republican resurgence and the rise of neoliberalism with Reagan. He led opposition to federal intervention into what he considered state affairs (including legislating integration via the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and enforcing suffrage through the Voting Rights Act of 1965). As chairman of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he demanded a staunchly anti-communist foreign policy that would reward America's friends abroad, and punish its enemies. He opposed civil rights, disability rights, feminism, gay rights, affirmative action, access to abortions, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), and the National Endowment for the Arts. Helms brought an "aggressiveness" to his ''conservatism'' (fascism), as in his rhetoric against homosexuality. The Almanac of American Politics once wrote that "no American politician is more controversial, beloved in some quarters and hated in others, than Jesse Helms".
