By 1905, as a museum placard indicates below the Thomas portrait, there was a public debate about removing it. We insist that its appearance on the walls of our State Capitol has long been a source of discomfiture to thousands of Tennesseans, someone wrote in a letter to the editor of the Nashville American in April 1905.
That year, the Tennessee House passed a resolution to remove the Thomas portrait from the Capitol and place it in the possession of Gates P. Thruston, who also served in the Union Army and was vice president of the Tennessee Historical Society.
The Senate rejected the measure.

NASHVILLE â The Tennessee State Museum will soon allow the public to view the busts of three military leaders, including a former Confederate general and early Ku Klux Klan leader.
On Friday, officials removed a Nathan Bedford Forrest bust that had been displayed inside the Tennessee Capitol since 1978. The busts of Union Navy Adm. David Farragut and U.S. Navy Adm. Albert Gleaves also were moved.
According to Gov. Bill Leeâs office, the busts will be on display and available to be viewed at the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville starting Tuesday.
Forrest was a Confederate cavalry general who amassed a fortune before the Civil War as a Memphis slave trader and plantation owner. Later, he was a leader of the Klan as it terrorized Black people, reversing Reconstruction efforts and restoring white power in the South.
