Extractions: JOSIAH PENDER AND THE CAPTURE OF FORT MACON (published in the Spring '97 Ramparts) by: Bennett R. Moss Fort Macon was built to protect Beaufort and its harbor from hostile invaders. Whoever possessed Fort Macon would have effective control of an important area of eastern North Carolina. When word of the Confederate siege of Charleston's Fort Sumter was received in Beaufort, a local unit of secessionist militia decided to take action against Fort Macon. The militia unit, known locally as the "Beaufort Harbor Guards" consisted of 17 men under the command of Josiah S. Pender. On April 14, 1861, the Beaufort Harbor Guards and some of their friends, descended upon the surprised Union caretaker, Sergeant William Alexander, and took possession of Fort Macon for the Confederacy. They lowered the Stars and Stripes and replaced it with an improvised Confederate flag. Sgt. Alexander was not the only one surprised by this venture. The governor of North Carolina was also surprised when he heard of it. The War had barely begun. Not only did the capture of Fort Macon occur just one day after Fort Sumter fell, but North Carolina was still a part of the Union, and remained so for another 35 days! To say the least, the military career of the militia commander, Josiah Pender, was strange. Pender was born into a wealthy North Carolina family in March, 1819. At the age of 16, he obtained an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. He entered West Point on July 1, 1835. Seven months later he resigned from the Academy because he found military discipline to be intolerable. He then turned to the study of art.

With President Abraham Lincoln's issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, the Civil War became a war to save the union and to abolish slavery.

Col. William H. Hoffman (above), whose letter (quoted above left) to War Secretary Edwin M. Stanton recommended using Rikers, was a West Point graduate who performed with valor in the Mexican War. Hoffman was serving in Texas when the Civil War began and refused to join the rebels. He was held prisoner until Aug. 27, 1862. Whether this colored his attitude toward Confederate POWs in his custody is a matter of conjecture. He was known for his frugality as the U.S. Commissary General of Prisoners in charge of all Union Army camps for Confederate POWs, including those on Rikers and Hart Island.

Extractions: Battle of Prairie Grove, Ar. December 7, 1862. A Confederate army under Gen. Thomas Hindman and two Federal columns commanded by Generals James Blunt and Francis Herron, fought for control of northwest Arkansas and southwest Missouri. After an all-day battle, 10 miles southwest of Fayetteville, the Confederates withdrew toward Van Buren under cover of darkness. Blunt thus secured northwest Arkansas and western Missouri for the Union. Battle of Wilson's Creek, Mo. August 10, 1861. In a two-pronged surprise attack on a Confederate camp 10 miles southwest of Springfield, a Union army under Gen. Nathaniel Lyon faced a Southern army more than twice as large under Generals Ben McCulloch and Sterling Price. Gen. Lyon was killed while leading a counterattack, the first Union general to be killed in action. Shortly thereafter, the Union army withdrew to Springfield leaving the field to the victorious Southerners, who were too badly battered and disorganized to pursue.

Extractions: BLACKS IN THE UNION ARMY OF TENNESSEE (1861-1866) Black Tennesseans were active participants in the American Civil War. They contributed immeasurably to the Union victory. In 1860, Tennessee had 275,719 slaves, who represented twenty-five percent of the population. Tennessee also had 7,300 free blacks in 1860, but they suffered racial discrimination and second-class citizenship without the right to vote. The slaves were owned by 36,894 persons, less than twenty percent of Tennessee's white families. The majority non-slaveholding whites belonged to the yeoman class (farmers and the poor, landless white class). Many white ( i.e. , East) Tennesseans opposed slavery and wanted it stopped. After the Civil War hostilities began at Fort Sumter, South Carolina (in April, 1861), Tennessee's radical Democrats, slaveowners, and southern nationalists led a campaign for secession. The voters defeated the first secession ordinance. But in May, 1861, emotions and pressure by the pro-Confederates ran high after Fort Sumter, causing the secession ordinance to pass. Still the Confederates were no more than a vocal minority because white Unionists (thirty-five percent) and blacks (twenty-six percent) outnumbered them. However, the Confederate minority used conscription acts, loyalty requirements, intimidation, racist propaganda, outright oppression, and occupation of East Tennessee to control most Tennessee inhabitants. The illegal control of Tennessee by the minority Confederates was short-lived. They never had real support among the people in the countryside and could not command the state's resources to effectively prosecute the war. In great paradox, even the slaveowners generally refused to furnish slave labor for the Confederate army. The Confederate General Assembly passed a law to draft free blacks as military laborers in June of 1861.
