Scott No. 11a    Estimate $150 - 200.

A devoted pre-war secessionist, Dent resigned his commission and was allegedly connected with the Northwest Conspiracy that attempted to destroy the north. After the war, Dent was pursued by Union General John T. Croxton who sought to have him arrested and tried for treason. S. H. Dent's name appears on a captured Ku Klux Klan document, leading to the speculation that he was a participating member. As a practicing attorney after the war, Dent is known to have authored at least one of the local "black codes" that restricted Alabama black citizen's freedoms. Dent's views subsequently moderated, according to the record of his service on the committee that wrote the 1901 Alabama state constitution. This same constitution remains in effect in Alabama today.
