== Members == === Senate === '''X''': served in the Senate of the First Congress (i.e. reelected or continued in office for this Second Congress). :Confederate States senators were elected by the state legislatures, or appointed by state governors to fill casual vacancies until the legislature elected a new senator. It was intended that one-third of the Senate would begin new six-year terms with each Congress after the first. :Preceding the names in the list below are Senate class numbers, which indicate the cycle of their terms. Senators of Class 1 were intended to serve a six-year term, starting with this Congress and expiring in 1870. Class 2 senators served what was intended to be a four-year term, due to end on the expiry of this Congress in 1866. Class 3 senators were meant to serve a six-year term, due to expire in 1868.<ref>Permanent Constitution of the Confederate States and Confederate Senate Journal</ref> '''[[Alabama]]''' * 3.
