Yes. John Archibald Campbell, a Southern justice who opposed succession resigned on April 30, 1861, after a failed attempt to act as an intermediary between Northern and Southern factions to prevent the Civil War. Campbell came to believe the Union was lying to him, resulting in his decision to leave the Court and return to Alabama. Campbell later became Assistant Secretary of War for the Confederacy.
