While jones took a stand for Southerners, steve had constitutional views towards land seizing of Southerners

Stevens argued that the earnings from the sale of the last of the Southerners' stolen land may be used by the United States government to pay off its war debt and support pensions for Union soldiers and their families. Although his proposal had a constitutional basis, it was not well welcomed and was never even put to a vote by the entire House of Representatives.

Jones, though, made a choice that Southerners had to be given much thought to. In order to connect himself with the South, and the Northern, he chose to go back to Georgia rather than stay in the North. Jones decided to return to the South, but only in specific situations. He remained opposed to slavery and the apparent disregard for the spiritual needs of the slaves.
