Talk:John B. Henderson

Untitled
G'day,

The article states that "Henderson authored and sponsored the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution permanently prohibiting slavery in the United States. Henderson's amendment was approved by the U.S. Congress on January 31, 1865,

In fact, he submitted a joint proposal which was sent to the Senate Judiciary Committee and his work was merged that of James Mitchell Ashley and James Falconer Wilson. That merged document was then to become the 13th Amendment. This is sourced on the 13th Amendment article

So, he was a co-author and a co-sponsor. Just so you now why it is being changed. Malangthon 04:23, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

His eponymous son was a malacologist of some significance.
Here are some Smithsonian Museum notes about his son who had the same name:

And here is a species that was named in honor of his son, because the very first material of it was collected by his son:
