Reply to comment by BlueSkyToday in TIL of John R. Baylor the self-proclaimed 'governor' of Arizona who was a Confederate Colonel whose self-appointment was later approved by Jefferson Davis. Baylor gave orders to exterminate the indigenous Apache and when Davis got wind of it he rescinded the orders as well as Baylor's governorship. by ChronosBlitz

He was probably a different Christian sect till he switched over

'Converted to Christianity' means that he wasn't a Christian before becoming a Baptist. I know that some Christians believe that if you're not a member of their church then you're not a Christian. But that doesn't fit with the standards that Wiki is supposed to be applying.
