In 1829, he was elected as a Jacksonian, to the United States Senate to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of John Branch and serving until resignation in 1840.

Brown was pro-Union in his sentiments until President Lincoln’s call for troops to put down the rebellion. After that time he backed secession.  [ad]
