US Civil War Generals

When he took command of 21st Illinois Regiment, the soldiers gathered noisy and disorderly around him asking for a speech. Grant reply peremptorily:

"Men, retire in your cantonments!

On Feb.15th,1862 the Confederate Commander at Fort Donelson requested Grant to negotiate the terms of the surrender. Grant reply that for Fort Donelson's garrison the only admitted term was the "unconditional surrender" adding then: "I am about to move against your positions"

They called him this because "Lo" was kind of a nickname within a nickname. The "Lo" part, comes from "Lothario'', in which he was also commonly called. Both the nicknames are Latin. (Don't ask me what "Lothario" means.) He was Latin, and from what I understand, this nickname fit General Armistead perfectly.

Union General Joseph Hooker graduated from West Point in 1837. He ranked 29th in his graduating class of 50 cadets. Hooker became a well known general and reached his peak when Lincoln appointed him to command the Army of the Potomac. Sadly for him, he lost the key Battle of Chancellorsville in May of 1863. He was replaced as the commander of the Army of the Potomac by General George Meade.

On November 11. 1862 General George B. McClellan said farewell to his troops and took a train to Washington DC. US President Abraham Lincoln had relieved McClellan from duty as commander of the Army of the Potomac on November 7, 1862. He was transferred to duty in New Jersey. He turned to politics and became the Democrats candidate for the presidency in 1864. He lost to Lincoln in that election. McClellan later was successful in becoming the governor of New Jersey. He also served on the Board of Directors for the National Home for Disabled Soldiers. He died in 1885 from heart failure.

Near the end of 1861, Major General Benjamin Butler was in charge of holding Fort Butler and making sure the fort remained in Union hands. Soldiers became bored with the inactivity of guarding the fort and sentinels returned from guard duty intoxicated. This forced Butler to outlaw the sale of alcoholic beverages to soldiers. Despite the ban, the troops were able to use rubbing alcohol and other ingredients to make drinkable alcohol.

Nathan Forrest Winters was born in 1975.

When Union General John Fulton Reynolds was killed on July 1, 1863 at the Battle of Gettysburg, he was replaced by General Abner Doubleday. Doubleday had been the commander of the 3rd division.

Wilmer McLean had the Civil War start in his front yard and end in his parlor--NO JOKE!! The First Battle of Manassas (Bull Run) took place on Wilmer McLean's farm on July 21, 1861. McLean moved his family from northern to central Virginia out of concern for their safety, settling eventually in a home near the Appomattox Court House. The Civil War ended in McLean's parlor in 1865 between Grant and Lee. It seems though this guy could not catch a break from the war. His home in 1861 became the headquarters for Confederate Brigadier General P.G.T. Beauregard. A cannonball dropped through the kitchen fireplace guring the engagement and Beauregard wrote after the battle that, "A comical effect of this artillery fight was the destruction of the dinner of myself and staff by a Federal shell that fell into the fire-place of my headquarters at the McLean House."

JEB Stuart was important because of his ability to move troops, in a rather fun, but proper way. JEB, leading cavalry, was one of the more fun and energetic generals. The other thing was that through out his military career, he was always in front leading troops. Despite being a major general, he never allowed himself to use that privallage that much. He led troops in to battle, and fought just as they did. This was, as a matter of fact, how he died. JEB was all around just a good soldier.

He was known by his troops as Uncle Billy. As a child and young man, before he became a commanding officer, his nickname was "Cump".

As his army began its approach to meet Rebel forces in Pennsylvania, General George G. Meade did select possible defensive positions south of Gettysburg. Meade, like all the generals of the US Civil War, knew the value of using defensive fortifications such as barricades and trenches. All USMA meaning West Point, graduates were made aware of the value of fortifications. They were well schooled engineers. Other generals learned about fortifications from the USMA generals.

Increased the speed of forces

George McClellan commanded the Army of the Potomac during the American Civil War, which was the principal Union army in the Eastern Theater. While he primarily led this single army, he was also involved in coordinating efforts with other Union forces, but he did not command multiple armies simultaneously. His leadership focused on the Army of the Potomac during key campaigns and battles in the early years of the war.

Here is your answer : The gun is a Colt Frontier Scout, chambered in 22 long rifle. It is a commemorative for General Nathan Bedford Forrest. There were 3000 of these pistols made in 1969.

George Armstrong Custer became a Brigadier General of US Volunteers June 29, 1863.

When Confederate General Joseph Johnston refused to obey the orders of the Confederate Secretary of War, James Seddon, President Davis had every reason to relieve Johnston of duty. Despite the past disagreements with Johnston, and what would turn out to be future disagreements, President Davis did not fire Johnston. Instead, recognizing his good points, Davis tried to help him.

He did so by exploring with him the possibility of a campaign into Kentucky.

Nathan Bedford Forrest was a member of the Democratic Party.
