     Usage: {Accordingly}, {Consequently}, indicate a connection
            between two things, the latter of which is done on
            account of the former. Accordingly marks the
            connection as one of simple accordance or congruity,
            leading naturally to the result which followed; as, he
            was absent when I called, and I accordingly left my
            card; our preparations were all finished, and we
            accordingly set sail. Consequently all finished, and
            we accordingly set sail. Consequently marks a closer
            connection, that of logical or causal sequence; as,
            the papers were not ready, and consequently could not
            be signed.
            [1913 Webster]
