Stand Watie Stand Watie was born Dec. 12, 1806, near Rome Georgia, and died Sept. 9, 1871, at his home on Honey Creek in Delaware County, Oklahoma, near the northwest corner of Arkansas. He learned to read and write English at a mission school in Georgia, and occasionally helped write for the Cherokee Phoenix newspaper (after Sequoyah developed the 86-symbol Cherokee syllabary in 1821) with his brother Buck Watie (who took the name of Elias Boudinot from a white benefactor). His father David Watie (or Oowatie) was the brother of Major Ridge, and the Ridge-Watie families became wealthy slave-owning planters in the new Cherokee constitutional republic that replaced tribal government in 1827. The state of Georgia opposed any form of tribal government and in 1828 began to pass repressive anti-Indian laws without any recourse for the Cherokee in state courts. After gold was discovered on Cherokee lands in northern Georgia, 3000 white settlers poached on Indian lands. Only the treaties with the federal government gave Indians protection from the states. The Supreme Court under John Marshall declared the repressive state laws null and void in the 1832 Worcester v. Georgia

Published Resources The ordinance of secession adopted by the Virginia State Convention in Richmond on 17 April 1861 was the result of the failure of all political efforts to avert civil war. Virginia joined an increasing list of southern states dissatisfied with further participation in the Union. The seceding states chose, rather, to form a confederation of states in order to maintain the southern political and social order. The great debates over popular sovereignty and states’ rights ended. These issues were settled by a clash of arms. The convention realized the consequences of secession and so instructed Governor John Letcher to make preparations to defend the state from probable attack. The total armed militia force throughout the state by 21 April 1861 numbered 12,050 troops. By January 1864, the most reliable statistics available reveal that over 153,000 Virginians had served in the state’s military forces. The Old Dominion, however, was far from fully prepared for war. Virginia became the battleground for twenty-six major engagements and over four hundred smaller clashes. Ultimately, more men fought and died in Virginia than in any other state. The legacy of each soldier’s service remains within the surviving written record. Researchers using Virginia Civil War records should examine a variety of materials in order to chronicle a soldier’s military experience.

Home Bicycle Blackjack Buffalo Soldiers ... World of CAV Web Search CavHooah Cavalry History NEW! The Cavalryman and His Horse - Ordnance notes from First Cavalry, 1883. The origin of the use of the horse as a means of transport goes back to prehistoric times. The fable of the centaurs, if the derivation from ~epretv, to goad, raiipos, bull, be accepted, would indicate the early existence of pastoral peoples living on horseback. Archaeological discoveries in India, Persia, Assyria and Egypt show that in the polished stone age quaternary man had domesticated the horse, while a Chinese treatise, the Goei-leaotse, the fifth book of the Veuking, a sort of military code dating from the reign of the emperor Hoang-Ti (2637 years B.C.), places the cavalry on the wings of the army. The Hebrews understood the use of the horse in war (Job xxxix. 1825), as did the Persians (Cyrus at the battle of Thymbra), Greeks and Romans. The Greeks and Romans, especially the former, were skilled horsemen, and feats on horseback were a feature of their games. They used no stirrup, but had both bridle and bit. They rode bareback, or on a cloth or skin, strapped to the horse. Chivalry was the system, spirit or customs of medieval knighthood. It was the idealized code of gallantry and honor that medieval knights were pledged to observe. It was founded on the principal virtues of piety, honor, valor, courtesy, chastity and loyalty. Chivalry simply means in its original sense 'service on horseback', and it is derived from the French word '

CONFEDERATE IRREGULAR WARFARE 1861 - 1865 PARTISAN RANGERS UNITS AND GUERRILLA COMMANDS INTRODUCTION There is a deplorable lack of writing on the Confederate Partisan Ranger Corps and the guerrilla commands outside the corps. I have now worked for more than eight years on a study of the partisan rangers, unit by unit. There are of course many difficulties. The greatest maybe is, like I do, to live in Europe and that it is an Atlantic Ocean between the researcher and the sources. So the work progresses slowly. The First Ideas In May 1861 a man interested in military affairs in the village of Forest Depot, Bedford Country, Virginia sat down to write a letter to General Robert E. Lee. Captain R.C.W.Radford offered to raise and mount a company of a thousand active men for Ranger or irregular service if the Confederate government was willing to arm them with long-range guns and pistols. The object of such a unit would be to annoy and harass an invading army, cut off escorts and detachments. Lee sent Captain Radfords letter to Colonel Jubal A. Early, who was in charge of organising in Radfords area and on the letter was made a note that the writer would probably be suitable as a company commander. Had Radford alone been the man behind the idea it would probably not have come to much. But as he wrote the newspaper Dispatch of Richmond had a leading editorial urging that men of the Old Dominion form themselves into companies for guerrilla warfare

Reparations for Slavery: They have already been paid War is hell, you cannot refine it. W.T. Sherman The topic of reparations for American Black slavery has been much discussed, and that discussion is not over. I think that such reparations are not justified. Unlike most who argue against monetary reparations, I think they are not only possible (though difficult) but justif no other payment had yet been made. However, reparations for slavery have already been made. The name of the reparations program was "The American Civil War." Consider the following facts About 11% of the total population (counting men, women and children) of the 1860 United States was in military service for some portion of the war; from the Confederate States considered separately, about 13% of the total population was enrolled. Of those enrolled in military service, the vast majority were White and all were male. Of the (overwhelmingly White) men enrolled in military units, Union and Confederate, 14% died of their wounds or of disease; another 11% were wounded but survived. In Confederate units, deaths approached 19% of the men enrolled, an order of magnitude higher than the death rate in any other American war. This amounted to an aggregate 550,000 dead and more than 400,000 wounded

36. Civil War Only a few blacks actually served alongside whites in confederate units and received union officers also organized freedmen into military units, http://lsm.crt.state.la.us/cabildo/cab10.htm

The Civil War Soldiers who wore the blue and the gray included native and foreign whites, immigrants of all nationalities, free blacks, and slaves, as well as women, who served as army nurses and canteen women. Most Louisiana Indians did not participate in either side, choosing not to risk their lives to defend slavery or the few rights that they had. Election and Secession The drive to keep Louisiana in the Union was strong statewide, especially in New Orleans, where the popular vote in the November 1860 election was three to one against secession from the Union. Once Abraham Lincoln was elected president in that year's election, however, sentiments changed rapidly, as Lincoln represented the purely northern Republican party, and many seemed to see his election as a declaration of hostility by the North. Influenced by South Carolina's decision to secede from the Union, Louisiana voters elected delegates to the state's secession convention, which met in Baton Rouge in January 1861. Among the delegates, secessionists outnumbered unionists two to one, and the militant attitudes of the public and the press further influenced the convention's vote. Members signed the ordinance of secession on January 26, 1861, thereby making Louisiana the sixth state to secede from the Union. Secession Convention E. Wood Perry

37. Origin Of The Confederate Battleflag the complex of military units operating in the region made it a bloody Northern sympathizers who were not in the regular union Army formed the http://www.scvcamp469-nbf.com/forrestandfortpillow.htm

Gen Nathan B Forrest and Ft Pillow Home Up Letters The Memphis Speech [ Gen Nathan B Forrest and Ft Pillow ] General Nathan Bedford Forrest and Fort Pillow Recently there has been a renewed statement of antagonism toward Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest in our area as a part of the statement of anger toward the Confederate flag. At the opposite pole are those who have much admiration for Gen. Forrest. It is my opinion that many of those who are singling out Gen. Forrest know very little about him and are largely influenced by what they have read that came from the Northern Press during the War Between the States. Mr. Jack Hurst, in 1993, published what I consider the best book written on Gen. Forrest, entitled Nathan Bedford Forrest, a Biography . In it Hurst did an excellent job in describing Forrest's pre-military life and the times in which he lived. He gave us an excellent picture of the man as a person. From Hurst, it is apparent that Gen. Forrest was an opportunist throughout his life but was also, at the same time, a man of pride who tried hard to live his life with a high code of ethics. This nature permitted him to progress from a poor lad with very little education and one whose father died when he was young, to a man of considerable wealth by 1861; to progress from an enlisted private to a Lieutenant General in the Confederate Army; to become a military leader so effective that Gen. Sherman said that the war in the west could not be won as long as Gen. Forrest was alive; to become a handler of cavalry so effective that the German High Command sent military men to Tennessee and Mississippi before WWII to study his tactics, and then applied them to their Panzer Units during WWII.

Search the collections Site Map Home Research > Civil War in Virginia - resources Civil War in Virginia - resources War came to Virginia shortly after its leaders voted to secede from the United States on 17 April 1861. For the next four years the Old Dominion was the major battleground of the Civil War. Its geographical location, being so near Washington, D.C., and the fact that Virginia's capital city of Richmond also served as the southern capital, guaranteed that Union armies would try to end the war quickly by capturing the seat of the Confederate government. By the end of the war in April 1865 Virginia had hosted over four hundred military engagements, including twenty-six major battles. The presence of so many soldiers marching and fighting across the state also devastated the economy of the Old Dominion. Farms and towns suffered under the weight of occupying armies. The war also ended slavery forever. Thus Virginia, home to the largest population of slaves in the country, experienced a difficult transition. Resources Anyone conducting research on the Civil War in Virginia is faced with a daunting task. Thousands of books have been written about America's bloodiest war, and many of those focus entirely or at least in part on the war in Virginia. Almost every aspect of the state's wartime experience has been written about. Studies on the economic, military, social, and political effects of the Civil War fill the shelves of bookstores and libraries across the country. Biographies of major military and political leaders also account for a large portion of the Civil War library.
