Who was fighting joe in the US Civil War?
Joseph Hooker. It came from a document where his name was preceded by the word 'fighting', and there was a line-break which made it look like as though he was being dubbed 'Fighting Joe', and the name stuck. Curiously, he did not appreciate his new nickname. 'Fighting' was not regarded as a good attribute for a General. The rank-and-file would often be jailed for fighting. It suggested a rowdy individual.
