He grew up in a wealthy family, receiving private instruction and was known in his youth for being an avid bear hunter, killing as many as 80 bears. In 1836 he graduated from South Carolina College and was trained for the law, although he never practiced. Hampton's father died in 1858 and the son inherited a vast fortune, the plantations, and one of the largest collections of slaves in the South.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHampton first enlisted as a private in the South Carolina Militia; however, the governor of South Carolina insisted that Hampton accept a colonel's commission, even though he had no military experience at all. Hampton organized and partially financed the unit known as \"Hampton's Legion.” They first saw combat in July 1861, at the First Battle of Bull Run, where he deployed his Legion at a decisive moment, giving the brigade of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/education\/history\/biographies\/thomas-jackson.html\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eThomas J. \"Stonewall\" Jackson\u003c\/a\u003e time to reach the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHampton was promoted to brigadier general on May 23, 1862, while commanding a brigade in Stonewall Jackson's division. At the Battle of Seven Pines on May 31, 1862, he was severely wounded in the foot, but remained on his horse while it was being treated, still under fire. Hampton returned to duty in time to lead a brigade at the end of the Seven Days Battles. During the winter of 1862, around the Battle of Fredericksburg, Hampton led a series of cavalry raids behind enemy lines, earning a commendation from General \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/learn\/biographies\/robert-e-lee\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eRobert E.

Stuart and Hampton reached the vicinity of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, late on July 2, 1863. In the remainder of the battle, Hampton was wounded three separate times, twice by saber and the final a piece of shrapnel to the hip which left him recuperating until November of that year. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the Overland Campaign of 1864, Stuart was killed at the Battle of Yellow Tavern and Hampton was given command of the Cavalry Corps on August 11, 1864.

magnet.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCalled the \"Stonewall of the West\" Patrick Ronayne Cleburne was one of the Confederacy's finest commanders in the Western theatre.  Born on St. Patrick's Day, this native Irishman was nevertheless extremely loyal to his adopted country, saying, \"if this [Confederacy] that is so dear to my heart is doomed to fail, I pray heaven may let me fall with it, while my face is toward the enemy and my arm battling for that which I know to be right.”  Sadly, Cleburne would have his wish. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleburne began his military career in an unlikely manner.  When he failed the entrance exam at Trinity College, Dublin, he could not face his family.  He enlisted in the 41st Foot in the British army.  In 1849 he purchased his discharge and left for America eventually settling in Helena, Arkansas in June 1850 and earning his citizenship in 1855.  Cleburne loved his new country, taking part in many community projects, and even being one of the few volunteers to care for the sick during a yellow fever outbreak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn January 1861 he joined the Yell Rifles.  By fall of 1861 he had risen to command the 2nd Brigade, Hardee’s Division, in the Army of Central Kentucky.  His first major battle was at Shiloh, April 6-7, 1862.  At the Battle of Richmond, Kentucky, Cleburne was wounded in the mouth (August 1862) and lost several of his teeth.  Still, he earned the thanks of the Confederate Congress for his actions there.  During the October 1862 battle at Perryville he was wounded again – twice, yet stayed in command during the battle.  In December he was promoted to Major General.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the December 1862 battle of Murfreesboro (Stones River) Cleburne and his division earned the praise of General Braggfor their incredible skill and valor.  Cleburne’s actions and character played a large role in his men’s determination during battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1863 Cleburne faced off against Union General Thomas at Chickamauga.

In 1821, Judah and his family relocated to Charleston, South Carolina, a city known for its tolerance towards the Jewish faith. In 1825, at the age of fourteen, Judah entered Yale College. Despite Benjamin’s high level of success at Yale, he left in 1827 and moved to New Orleans, Louisiana, where he began to study law. In the same year, he married a woman named Natalie St. Martin. As part of the dowry for the wedding, he received two female slaves. In 1831, after three years of studying law and working as a clerk, Benjamin passed the bar and was assigned his first case only months later in the Louisiana State Supreme Court.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAround the time he passed the bar, Benjamin also became active in the Whig party. In 1842, he was nominated, and eventually elected, for a seat in the Louisiana House of Representatives. In 1844, the Louisiana Legislature voted to hold a constitutional convention. Benjamin served as the New Orleans representative and fought against considering slaves 3\/5th of a person for electoral purposes. The young legislator prevailed and slaves were not represented in state elections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenjamin continued his career as a state congressman until 1853, when he was sworn in as a U.S. Senator from the state of Louisiana. During his tenure, Benjamin met then Senator Jefferson Davis. Following a confrontation during which Benjamin relentless questioned Davis on a military bill, Davis insulted the Louisiana Senator. In response, Benjamin challenged \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/education\/history\/biographies\/jefferson-davis.html\"\u003eJefferson Davis\u003c\/a\u003e to a duel, Davis apologized and the challenge was revoked. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the election of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/education\/history\/biographies\/abraham-lincoln.html\"\u003eAbraham Lincoln\u003c\/a\u003e in 1860, Benjamin began to speak in favor of secession. As the tide began to turn towards secession in the South, Benjamin delivered a farewell address to the U.S. Senate on December 31, 1860.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn February 25, 1861, newly elected Confederate President Jefferson Davis named Judah Benjamin the Confederate Attorney General. While such a title was fitting for a man with such an illustrious legal career, the Confederacy’s lack of federal courts or established Department of Justice left the position with little functionality. Despite the lack of legal work required, Benjamin sought to assist the fledgling government in any capacity needed. The Louisianan often hosted dignitaries when President Davis was unable to. He also offered up advice when ever needed. During the first cabinet meeting, Benjamin suggested that the government buy 150,000 bales of cotton and sell them to the United Kingdom with the proceeds funding the war effort. However, this plan was not agreed upon as some believed the war would be short lived. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn September 1861, after receiving criticism for the inability of the Confederacy to follow up their victory at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/battlefields\/bullrun.html\"\u003eBull Run\u003c\/a\u003e, Secretary of War Leroy Walker resigned from his position and Davis appointed Benjamin as his successor. Lacking military experience, Benjamin found difficulty dealing with the problems that plagued the Confederacy for the entirety of the war, namely lack of funding and supplies. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs Secretary of War, Benjamin came under constant fire from the press and state governments, who frequently demanded more men and supplies. After the loss at the Battle of Roanoke Island, during which General Henry A. Wise had received little support from Benjamin, a special committee was established to assess the work of the War Department in 1862. Following the committee’s investigation, Benjamin resigned from his position as Secretary of War and was appointed the vacant Secretary of State position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJudah Benjamin’s term as Secretary of State was marked by two major goals: to gain support from England and France and to gain recognition as an independent nation. Benjamin found that the two European super powers’ interest would peak following a major Confederate victory, and they cool following a significant Confederate defeat. Benjamin took many opportunities to capitalize on the nature of England and France’s interest in the war. Following the Confederate victory at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/battlefields\/richmond.html\"\u003eRichmond\u003c\/a\u003e, Benjamin sent Confederate diplomat, John Slidell, to meet with Napoleon with an offer of 100,000 bales of cotton in an effort to entice France into the war. After continued “cotton diplomacy”, France began to waver towards intervention. Napoleon stated his desire for an intervention of France, England, and Russia to end the war, stating that a Northern refusal would result in French intervention and recognition of the Confederacy.

He grew up in nearby Prince William County on his family's estate Stone Lonesome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe attended the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he was known as \"Old Bald Head\" or \"Baldy\" to his friends. He graduated thirteenth in the Class of 1840. Soon after, he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the 1st U.S. Dragoons. From 1843 to 1845, he served on escort duty on the Santa Fe and Oregon trails, being promoted to first lieutenant in 1845.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEwell served in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/node\/5311\"\u003eMexican-American War\u003c\/a\u003e under \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/node\/372\"\u003eGeneral Winfield Scott\u003c\/a\u003e. He was promoted to captain for his bravery at Contreras and Churubusco. Afterwards, he explored the New Mexico Territory after it was ceded by Mexico. He was wounded in a skirmish with Apaches in 1859, and in 1860, he was sent home from Arizona to recover from an illness. Injury and illness would plague his time in the Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe secession of Virginia prompted Ewell to resign his commission in the U.S. Army, although he had been pro-Union up until this point. On May 7, 1861, he resigned and then joined the Virginia Provisional Army, being named colonel two days later. In a skirmish at Fairfax Court House on May 31, he was wounded, giving him the distinction of the first field-grade officer to be wounded in the Civil War.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEwell then received a commission as a brigadier general on June 17, 1861.  He commanded a brigade at the First Battle of Bull Run but saw little combat.  On January 24, 1862, he was promoted to major general and served alongside \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/node\/3463\"\u003eGeneral Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson\u003c\/a\u003e through the Valley Campaign in Virginia.  He protected Richmond during \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/node\/94\"\u003eUnion General George McClellan\u003c\/a\u003e’s \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/node\/1988\"\u003ePeninsula Campaign\u003c\/a\u003e, and commanded his troops successfully at the battles of Malvern Hill, Gaines’ Mill, the Seven Days Battles, and the Second Battle of Bull Run.  At the Battle of Groveton, Ewell was severely wounded in the leg, which was amputated below the knee.  After several months of recovery, Ewell returned to the army and participated in the\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/node\/779\"\u003e Battle of Chancellorsville\u003c\/a\u003e.  On May 23, 1863, Ewell was promoted to lieutenant general to replace General Jackson, who had been mortally wounded at Chancellorsville. He served with distinction at the Second Battle of Winchester, capturing a large Federal force and supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfterward, however, his military reputation began to declines sharply. During the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/node\/3259\"\u003eBattle of Gettysburg\u003c\/a\u003e, he led his men well in the early portions of the battle on July 1.

Lee\u003c\/a\u003eordered him to assault Union positions on Cemetery Hill \"if practicable,\" Ewell declined to do so, providing Union troops crucial time to reorganize and fortify their positions. There is much controversy about why Ewell decided not to attack on the evening of July 1, but nonetheless, many of his fellow generals blamed him for the loss at Gettysburg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the Gettysburg Campaign, Ewell performed well during the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/node\/5770\"\u003eBattle of the Wilderness\u003c\/a\u003e, but again received criticism for his inaction and indecisiveness at the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/node\/4550\"\u003eBattle of Spotsylvania Court House\u003c\/a\u003e.  Following the battle, Ewell, who was suffering from health problems, was relieved of commanding his division, and sent to command the defenses of Richmond.  During the retreat from Richmond, Ewell and his men were surrounded and captured at\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/node\/798\"\u003e Sailor's Creek\u003c\/a\u003e on April 6, 1865. He remained imprisoned at Fort Warren for the remainder of the war, where he and sixteen other former generals penned a letter to General Ulysses S. Grant condemning the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the war, Ewell became a \"gentleman farmer\" at his wife Lizinka's estate in Spring Hill, Tennessee. He had known her since he was a teenager, but only married her after the time she spent tending to him after his amputation rekindled their romance in 1863. He also leased a successful cotton plantation in Mississippi. He was active in his local community, serving as president of the Columbia Female Academy's Board of Trustees, in St. Peter's Episcopal Church in Columbia, and as president of the Maury County Agricultural Society. Throughout the rest of his life, he continued to suffer from various ailments.

Lee\u003c\/a\u003e surrendered to Grant in April, Forrest surrendered as well, declaring that, “any man who is in favor of a further prosecution of this war is a fit subject for a lunatic asylum.”  Over the course of the conflict, Forrest had given as much as probably any man for the cause.  He had 29 horses shot from under him, killed or seriously wounded at least thirty enemy soldiers in

polarizing figures of the Civil War era, was born July 13, 1821 in Chapel Hill, Tennessee – a small town on the Duck River.  When his father, a blacksmith, died when he was 16, Forrest moved to the Memphis Delta and eventually became a successful businessman – indeed a millionaire – dealing in cotton, land and slaves. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the outbreak of the Civil War, Forrest volunteered as a private before deciding to raise and equip an entire unit at his own expense.  He was commissioned lieutenant colonel, and issued this call to arms in June, 1861:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“I wish none but those who desire to be actively engaged.  COME ON BOYS, IF YOU WANT A HEAP OF FUN AND TO KILL SOME YANKEES”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn February 1862, Forrest’s unit was stationed at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/battlefields\/fort-donelson.html\"\u003eFort Donelson\u003c\/a\u003e on the Cumberland when \u003ca

William Tecumseh Sherman\u003c\/a\u003e declared: “that devil Forrest must be hunted down and killed if it costs ten thousand lives and bankrupts the federal treasury.” \u003cbr\u003eForrest continued to torment the Union high command as the war entered its fourth year.  In February, 1865 Forrest was again promoted, to lieutenant general, becoming the only man on either side to rise so far.  When \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/learn\/biographies\/robert-e-lee\"\u003eRobert E. Lee\u003c\/a\u003e surrendered to Grant in April, Forrest surrendered as well, declaring that, “any man who is in favor of a further prosecution of this war is a fit subject for a lunatic asylum.”  Over the course of the conflict, Forrest had given as much as probably any man for the cause.  He had 29 horses shot from under him, killed or seriously wounded at least thirty enemy soldiers in hand-to-hand combat, and had been himself wounded four times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/learn\/biographies\/patrick-r-cleburne\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beauregard's Tailor","offers":[{"title":"Stickers","offer_id":50040709677334,"sku":"","price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Magnet","offer_id":50040709710102,"sku":"","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/0885\/0710\/files\/188F81C1-AE37-4045-8520-17A832348CE1.png?v=1709036206"},{"product_id":"general-john-c-breckinridge","title":"General John C.

Davis was the tenth and youngest child of Revolutionary War soldier Samuel Davis and his wife Jane Cook Davis (Finis in Latin means final—the couple wanted no more children after Jefferson). Born June 3, 1808, he was heavily influenced by his oldest brother, Joseph, who saw to it that he was well educated. Davis attended college in Kentucky at Transylvania before entering the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1824.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"templateComponent\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs a military cadet, Davis’ performance was only adequate.

While stationed under Colonel Zachary Taylor (future President of the United States) the following year, he met the colonel’s daughter, Sarah. Jefferson Davis married her in 1835 against her father’s wishes. Sadly, the couple came down with bad cases of malaria only three months after the wedding, and the young bride died.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJefferson Davis led a secluded life for the next eight years on his cotton plantation at Davis Bend, Mississippi. A slaveholder, Davis firmly believed in the importance of the institution of slavery for the South. In 1845 he married his second wife, Varina Howell, a young woman eighteen years old. Jefferson and Varina Davis eventually had six children—two girls and four boys—but only their daughters lived into adulthood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the same year, 1845, Mississippi sent Davis to the U.S. House of Representatives. His Congressional term was short, however. He resigned in June 1846 to fight in the Mexican War where he led his troops valiantly at the battles of Monterrey and Buena Vista. He was offered a promotion to brigadier general in 1847 but refused it when he was elected to the U.S. Senate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 1853, President Franklin Pierce appointed Davis U.S. Secretary of War where he served with distinction and was recognized as one of the most capable administrators to hold the office. In 1857, Davis returned to the Senate as a vocal proponent of states rights. He formally withdrew from the U.S. Senate on January 21, 1861 after Mississippi seceded from the Union.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOne month later, the Confederate Congress in Montgomery, Alabama selected Jefferson Finis Davis to become the provisional President of the Confederacy. He was inaugurated for a six-year term as President on February 22 of the following year. Davis’ appointment was largely political; he was a compromise candidate chosen to appease both the moderate and radical factions in the Congress. Davis, however, did not want the job. He had hoped for a military command.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInitially, Davis was a popular President with the Southern people. He had a dignified bearing, a distinguished military record, extensive experience in political affairs, and—most importantly—a dedication to the Confederate cause. Unfortunately for Davis, these attributes were not enough to triumph over the harsh challenges posed by his new position. His early popularity was a result of war fervor and he did not have the personality necessary to sustain it. He was impatient with people who disagreed with him, and he had the unfortunate habit of awarding prominent posts to leaders who appeared unsuccessful. Davis’ loyalty to these people led to bickering and quarrels throughout his administration. In addition, he was plagued by chronic illness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDavis’ popularity and effectiveness were not enhanced by the growing numbers of Confederate defeats in the latter years of the War. On April 2, 1865, he and the other members of the Confederate government were forced to flee from Richmond before the advancing Union Army.

He was never tried for treason, but was released on bond in May 1867. After being released, Davis and his family traveled for some time in Europe before returning to the American South. They first took up residence in Tennessee then relocated to the Mississippi gulf coast where Davis lived out his retirement years at an estate called Beauvoir near Biloxi. Mississippi tried to return him to the U.S. Senate, but he was not legally qualified to serve since he refused to request an official pardon from the United States for his role in the Civil War.

Patrick Cleburne Stickers","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalled the \"Stonewall of the West\" Patrick Ronayne Cleburne was one of the Confederacy's finest commanders in the Western theatre.  Born on St. Patrick's Day, this native Irishman was nevertheless extremely loyal to his adopted country, saying, \"if this [Confederacy] that is so dear to my heart is doomed to fail, I pray heaven may let me fall with it, while my face is toward the enemy and my arm battling for that which I know to be right.”  Sadly, Cleburne would have his wish. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleburne began his military career in an unlikely manner.  When he failed the entrance exam at Trinity College, Dublin, he could not face his family.  He enlisted in the 41st Foot in the British army.  In 1849 he purchased his discharge and left for America eventually settling in Helena, Arkansas in June 1850 and earning his citizenship in 1855.  Cleburne loved his new country, taking part in many community projects, and even being one of the few volunteers to care for the sick during a yellow fever outbreak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn January 1861 he joined the Yell Rifles.  By fall of 1861 he had risen to command the 2nd Brigade, Hardee’s Division, in the Army of Central Kentucky.  His first major battle was at Shiloh, April 6-7, 1862.  At the Battle of Richmond, Kentucky, Cleburne was wounded in the mouth (August 1862) and lost several of his teeth.  Still, he earned the thanks of the Confederate Congress for his actions there.  During the October 1862 battle at Perryville he was wounded again – twice, yet stayed in command during the battle.  In December he was promoted to Major General.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the December 1862 battle of Murfreesboro (Stones River) Cleburne and his division earned the praise of General Braggfor their incredible skill and valor.  Cleburne’s actions and character played a large role in his men’s determination during battle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1863 Cleburne faced off against Union General Thomas at Chickamauga. Cleburne’s and General John C. Breckinridge’s assaults forced Gen. Thomas to call repeatedly for reinforcements.  In November 1863 the Confederate army was forced to retreat after the battle of Chattanooga.  However, Cleburne had defeated every assault against his men eventually charging his attackers.  After the battle, Cleburne and his men were charged with covering the retreat. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn January 2, 1864, Cleburne made his most controversial decision ever.  He gathered the corps and division commanders in the Army of Tennessee to present his proposal.  The Confederacy was unable to fill its ranks due to a lack of manpower.  He stated that slavery was their “most vulnerable point, a continued embarrassment, and in some respects an insidious weakness.”  Cleburne’s proposed solution was for the Confederacy to arm slaves to fight in the army.  In time, these soldiers would receive their freedom.  The proposal was not well received at all.  In fact, Jefferson Davis directed that the proposal be suppressed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the spring of 1864 the Army of Tennessee moved towards Atlanta, Georgia.  Cleburne and his men fought at Dalton, Tunnel Hill, Resaca, Pickett’s Mill, Ringgold and Kennesaw.   The Atlanta Campaign began in the summer and lasted until September, when General Hood evacuated Atlanta. Hood had taken command from General Johnston, which Cleburne felt to be a disaster for the Confederacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneral Hood hoped to stop Union General Schofield and his men before they could reach Nashville to reinforce General Thomas.  Due to poor communications and nightfall Schofield slipped past the Army of Tennessee into Franklin. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe November 30, 1864 Battle of Franklin was a tragic loss for the Confederacy.  Hood threw his men into well-fortified Union troops.  The results were disastrous.  About 6,000 men were killed or wounded including six generals who were killed or mortally wounded.  Cleburne was one of these six, killed while attacking Union breastworks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCleburne was buried at St. John’s Church, Mount Pleasant, Tennessee.  In 1870 he was reburied in Helena, Arkansas.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.battlefields.org\/learn\/biographies\/patrick-r-cleburne\"\u003eAmerican Battlefield Trust \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/a\u003eEach purchase comes with three stickers. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Beauregard's Tailor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47689139126550,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0756\/0885\/0710\/files\/62822BF7-DFE9-4134-8743-0A64F71046A2.png?v=1710190219"},{"product_id":"states-rights-gist-stickers","title":"States Rights Gist Sticker\/Magnet","description":"\u003cp\u003eGeneral States Rights Gist of South Carolina -

Born June 3, 1808, he was heavily influenced by his oldest brother, Joseph, who saw to it that he was well educated. Davis attended college in Kentucky at Transylvania before entering the U.S. Military Academy at West Point in 1824.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"templateComponent\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAs a military cadet, Davis’ performance was only adequate.

While stationed under Colonel Zachary Taylor (future President of the United States) the following year, he met the colonel’s daughter, Sarah. Jefferson Davis married her in 1835 against her father’s wishes. Sadly, the couple came down with bad cases of malaria only three months after the wedding, and the young bride died.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJefferson Davis led a secluded life for the next eight years on his cotton plantation at Davis Bend, Mississippi. A slaveholder, Davis firmly believed in the importance of the institution of slavery for the South. In 1845 he married his second wife, Varina Howell, a young woman eighteen years old. Jefferson and Varina Davis eventually had six children—two girls and four boys—but only their daughters lived into adulthood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn the same year, 1845, Mississippi sent Davis to the U.S. House of Representatives.

He had a dignified bearing, a distinguished military record, extensive experience in political affairs, and—most importantly—a dedication to the Confederate cause. Unfortunately for Davis, these attributes were not enough to triumph over the harsh challenges posed by his new position. His early popularity was a result of war fervor and he did not have the personality necessary to sustain it. He was impatient with people who disagreed with him, and he had the unfortunate habit of awarding prominent posts to leaders who appeared unsuccessful. Davis’ loyalty to these people led to bickering and quarrels throughout his administration. In addition, he was plagued by chronic illness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDavis’ popularity and effectiveness were not enhanced by the growing numbers of Confederate defeats in the latter years of the War.

They first took up residence in Tennessee then relocated to the Mississippi gulf coast where Davis lived out his retirement years at an estate called Beauvoir near Biloxi. Mississippi tried to return him to the U.S. Senate, but he was not legally qualified to serve since he refused to request an official pardon from the United States for his role in the Civil War.

He was responsible for guarding fords across the Potomac River and bridges from Harpers Ferry to Point of Rocks, Maryland. His command assisted Maryland men with Confederate sympathies to pass into Virginia, and they disrupted railroad traffic on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and interfered with the passage of boats on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. Ashby suffered a personal loss when his brother Richard was killed during an engagement with a Union patrol along the Potomac in June 1861. Ashby, convinced of the rumors that his brother had been bayoneted while trying to surrender after he had a chance to examine his corpse, came to hate Northerners and became obsessed with revenge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eOn July 23, 1861, Brigadier General Joseph E. Johnston appointed Ashby lieutenant colonel of the 7th Virginia Cavalry. Due to the illness of the regimental commander, Ashby had effective control of half of the regiment, which he operated separately. When the commander retired in February 1862, Ashby assumed command of the entire regiment on March 12. Ashby organized the first Confederate horse artillery, named Chew’s Battery, as part of this regiment. The 7th did not participate directly in the First Battle of Manassas, but Ashby aided the Confederate cause by screening the movement of Johnston’s army to the Manassas area. The Union had hoped that Johnston’s forces would be pinned down by Major General Robert Patterson, but Ashby’s screen allowed Johnston to move freely without Patterson’s interference. In October 1861 he led an attack on Harpers Ferry, a Union armory, but was defeated by Union colonel John W. Geary in what became known as the “Battle of Bolivar Heights”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eBy the spring of 1862, the 7th Virginia Cavalry had reached the enormous size of 27 infantry and cavalry companies, much larger than a typical Civil War regiment. Stonewall Jackson, in overall command of the Shenandoah Valley, tried to correct the situation by stripping Ashby of his cavalry forces, ordering them to be assigned to two infantry brigades. Ashby threatened to resign in protest and Jackson backed down. Jackson continued to resist Ashby’s promotion to brigadier general, due to his informal military training and consequent lack of discipline.  Nevertheless, Ashby’s promotion came through on May 23, 1862, and he received his promotion and general’s star in a ceremony at the Taylor Hotel in Winchester, Virginia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eAshby cut a striking figure, called by many the “Black Knight of the Confederacy”. He generally rode horses that were pure white or pure black. A civilian in the Valley named Thomas A. Ashby (no relation) wrote about an encounter with him:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e“He was just entering upon a career that soon made him an heroic character in the history of the Civil War. Dressed now in Confederate gray, with gilt lace on his sleeves and collar, wearing high top-boots with spurs and a broad-brimmed black felt hat with a long black feather streaming behind, his appearance was striking and attractive. He stood about five feet eight inches in height and probably weighed from 150 to 160 pounds (68 to 73 kg). He was muscular and wiry, rather thin than robust or rugged. His hair and beard were as black as a raven’s wing; his eyes were soft and mahogany brown; a long, sweeping mustache concealed his mouth, and a heavy and long beard completely covered his breast. His complexion was dark in keeping with his other colorings. Altogether, he resembled the pictures I have seen of the early Crusaders,—a type unusual among the many men in the army, a type so distinctive that, once observed, it cannot soon be forgotten.”\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eAshby’s vigorous reconnaissance and screening were factors in the success of Jackson’s legendary Valley Campaign in the Shenandoah Valley in 1862. However, there were instances in which Ashby failed Jackson. At the First Battle of Kernstown, Jackson attacked a retreating Union column that Ashby had estimated to be four regiments of infantry, about the size of Jackson’s force. It turned out to be an entire division of 9,000 men, and Jackson was forced to retreat. At the First Battle of Winchester, as Union forces under Maj. Gen. Nathaniel P. Banks were retreating, Ashby failed to cut off their retreat because his troopers were plundering captured wagons. It is possible that the Union forces could have been substantially destroyed if it were not for this lack of discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eAs Jackson’s army withdrew from the pressure of Maj. Gen. John C. Frémont’s superior forces, moving from Harrisonburg toward Port Republic, Ashby commanded the rear guard. On June 6, 1862, near Harrisonburg, the 1st New Jersey Cavalry attacked Ashby’s position at Good’s Farm. Although Ashby defeated the cavalry attack, a subsequent infantry engagement resulted in his horse being shot and Ashby charging ahead on foot. Within a few steps, he was shot through the heart, killing him instantly.  (The origin of the fatal shot has been lost to history. Soldiers of the 13th Pennsylvania Reserve Infantry, the “Bucktails”, claimed credit, but some accounts blame friendly fire.) His last words were “Charge, men! For God’s sake. Charge!” waving his sword, when a bullet pierced him in the breast and he fell dead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003e“Later in the evening I saw a party of cavalry pass by with Ashby’s body, crying, most of them, like children” – Confederate Capt.
