19th century Asia/Pacific conflicts involving the United States

The American Civil War (1861–1865) was a civil war in the United States of America. Eleven Southern slave states declared their secession from the United States and formed the Confederate States of America ("the Confederacy") to fight for independence. Twenty (mostly Northern) free states in which slavery already had been abolished, and five slave states that became known as the "border states" supported the federal government. These twenty-five states, referred to as the Union, had a much larger base of population and industry than the South. After four years of warfare, mostly within the Southern states, the Confederacy surrendered and slavery was outlawed everywhere in the nation. Issues that led to war were resolved only in the Reconstruction Era that followed the restoration of the Union. In the presidential election of 1860, the Republican Party, led by Abraham Lincoln, had campaigned against the expansion of slavery beyond the states in which it already existed. The Republicans were strong advocates of nationalism and in their 1860 platform explicitly denounced threats of disunion as avowals of treason. After a Republican victory, but before the new administration took office on March 4, 1861, seven cotton states declared their secession and joined together to form the Confederate States of America. Both the outgoing administration of President James Buchanan and the incoming administration rejected the legality of secession, considering it rebellion. The other eight slave states rejected calls for secession at this point. No country in the world recognized the Confederacy. Hostilities began on April 12, 1861, when Confederate forces attacked a U.S. military installation at Fort Sumter in South Carolina. Lincoln responded by calling for a volunteer army from each state to recapture federal property. This led to declarations of secession by four more slave states. Both sides raised armies as the Union seized control of the border states early in the war and established a naval blockade that virtually ended cotton sales on which the South depended for its wealth, and blocked most imports. Land warfare in the East was inconclusive in 1861–62, as the Confederacy beat back Union efforts to capture its capital, Richmond, Virginia. In September 1862, Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation made ending slavery in the South a war goal,[2] and dissuaded the British from intervening.[3] Confederate commander Robert E. Lee won battles in Virginia, but in 1863 his northward advance was turned back with heavy casualties after the Battle of Gettysburg. To the west, the Union gained control of the Mississippi River after their capture of Vicksburg, Mississippi, thereby splitting the Confederacy in two. The Union was able to capitalize on its long-term advantages in men and materiel by 1864 when Ulysses S. Grant fought battles of attrition against Lee, while Union general William Tecumseh Sherman captured Atlanta and marched to the sea. Confederate resistance ended after Lee surrendered to Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. The American Civil War was one of the earliest true industrial wars. Railroads, the telegraph, steamships, and mass-produced weapons were employed extensively. The practices of total war, developed by Sherman in Georgia, and of trench warfare around Petersburg foreshadowed World War I in Europe. It remains the deadliest war in American history, resulting in the deaths of 620,000 soldiers and an undetermined number of civilian casualties. According to John Huddleston, "Ten percent of all Northern males 20–45 years of age died, as did 30 percent of all Southern white males aged 18–40."[4] Victory for the North meant the end of the Confederacy and of slavery in the United States, and strengthened the role of the federal government. The social, political, economic and racial issues of the war decisively shaped the reconstruction era that lasted to 1877.

Regimental History

Fifth Cavalry

KENTUCKY

(3-YEARS)

Fifth Cavalry. -- Cols., David R. Haggard, William P. Sanders,

Oliver L. Baldwin; Lieut.-Cols., Isaac Scott, William T.

Hoblitzell; Majs., Michael H. Owsley, Thomas C. Winfrey, John

Q. Owsley, Christopher T. Cheek, James L. Wharton.

This regiment was actively engaged on military duty several months before it was regularly mustered

into service. All through Dec., 1861, and Jan., 1862, it was scouting the country south of Columbia, and

in February, after the Confederates fell back from Bowling Green, it went to Gallatin Tenn., where it was

mustered into the U. S. service at Camp Sandige March 31, 1862.

It then numbered 943 officers and men, and its subsequent career proved it to be one of the most

valuable regiments in the service. On May 14 Gen. Negley reported from Rogersville, Ala., that a

battalion of the regiment under Maj. Owsley made a forced march from Pulaski against the enemy on

the Lamb's ferry road, where a lively fight occurred, and the endurance and soldierly conduct of Maj.

Owsley and his men are especially mentioned.

In June the regiment, under Col. Haggard, with other troops, crossed the Cumberland Mountain and

reconnoitered toward Chattanooga. In August with other regiments under Gen. Richard W. Johnson, it

left McMinnville, Tenn., and engaged Morgan's command at Gallatin, but the Union troops were

defeated.


18

The regiment participated in the march of Buell's army in pursuit of Bragg, and is reported as being at

Louisville in September. On Nov. 14 Col. Kennett reports the regiment as detached from him and on

duty at Nashville. Gen. Sheridan's report of the campaign in Middle Tennessee in June and July, 1863,

says the troops, among which was the 5th Ky. cavalry, moved from Murfreesboro toward Shelbyville,

fought at Christiana, camped at Millersburg, then moved to Winchester.

There, hearing that Confederate Gen. Wharton was 7 miles away,he ordered Watkins to move against

him with the 5th and 6th Ky. cavalry. He says: "This reconnaissance was handsomely executed by Col.

Watkins, who drove the enemy about 3 miles, inflicting a severe loss."

Col. Watkins says, in his report of the movements of the 5th and 6th cavalry under his command, "June

23, marched from Franklin to Triune; June 25, marched to Murfreesboro; June 28, from Murfreesboro

back to Christiana, 29th, within 5 miles of Shelbyville; 30th at Shelbyville, and made a reconnaissance on

the road to Tullahoma, July 2 to Tullahoma; July 3, to Cowan and reported to Gen. Sheridan; July 4,

made a reconnaissance toward University, met the enemy and engaged in a sharp fight; 5th, camped at

Cowan, 7th, reported to Gen. Mitchell."

The regiment fought in the battle of Chickamauga at Crawfish springs and was very much cut up. In Gen.

W. S. Smith's report of operations beginning Dec. 20, 1863, he says he ordered the regiment to move

from Columbia to the mouth of Duck river to clear the country, and watch the Tennessee River from the

mouth of Duck River to Savannah.

At Savannah it crossed the Tennessee and marched to Corinth, thence to Collierville, Tenn., which was

reached Feb. 8. It then crossed the Tallahatchie and moved toward Pontotoc and Houston, thence to

Okolona, and fought at Prairie Station. On the return the regiment was especially efficient, resisting the

attacks of a strong pursuing force.

On May 3, 1864, Col. Baldwin was in command of the regiment, when it entered upon the Atlanta

campaign. Near Adairsville it was sent forward in advance of Gen. Logan, encountered the enemy and

drove him all day. During June and July the regiment was constantly employed and almost daily engaged

with the enemy, acting with the other cavalry of Sherman's army.


19

In August it made its way to Jonesboro, where a severe fight took place, then moved on the McDonough

road toward Lovejoy's station. A battle took place at Fosterville, where the cavalry made a magnificent

charge, then "moved to McDonough; thence to Cotton Indian creek, where it camped that night."

On the West Point and Atlanta railroad a portion of the regiment under Maj. Cheek sustained a very

severe attack. On Aug. 30 it advanced on the Jonesboro road to Flint River, near which the cavalry,

including the 5th, engaged in a battle, which the report of Col. Baldwin says was the "most brilliant

cavalry fight in the south."

It shared in the march to the sea, and after leaving Savannah marched through the Carolinas, having

many encounters, among which was the battle of Bentonville. The end of the war being at hand, and the

term of service of the regiment having expired, it was ordered to Louisville, Ky., where it was mustered

out May 3, 1865.

MONROE'S CROSS-ROADS, SOUTH CAROLINA

MARCH 10, 1865.

Monroe's Cross-Roads, S. C., March 10, 1865. Cavalry Division, Sherman's Army of Invasion. During the

campaign of the Carolinas Hampton's Confederate cavalry surprised the Federal camp of Brig.-Gen. Judson

Kilpatrick at 2 a. m. The Union troops were driven back, the artillery captured and the

whole command driven into a swamp. The enemy, however, failed to follow up his advantage promptly and

Kilpatrick rallied his men in the swamp, ordered a countercharge, and recaptured the camp after a desperate

struggle. Later in the day an infantry force came to Kilpatrick's aid. Kilpatrick's loss was 19 killed, 68

wounded and 103 captured. His report states that 80 of the Confederate dead were left on the field.

Monteith Swamp, Ga.,

Dec. 9, 1864.

1st Division, 20th Army Corps.

On this date the 20th corps, commanded by Brig.-Gen. A. S. Williams, was marching from Eden

Station to Monteith on the Charleston railroad. At Monteith swamp the road was found obstructed for

nearly a mile by fallen timber, while beyond the obstructions the enemy had thrown up two redoubts,

where a force of some 500 infantry with a piece of artillery was posted to dispute the Federal advance.

As this gun commanded the road and prevented the removal of the fallen trees. Brig.-Gen. N. J.

Jackson commanding the advance division, determined on a flank movement to dislodge the

Confederates. He therefore ordered Col. Seifridge, with the 1st brigade, to engage the attention of the

enemy in front, while Col. Carman, with the 2nd brigade, moved to the right and Col. Robinson, with

the 3d brigade, to the left, in an endeavor to gain the rear of the redoubts.


22

Owing to the character of the ground over which he had to move, Carman was unable to reach the

desired position before the 3d brigade debouched from the woods and charged the enemy, who fled

after the first volley, leaving their knapsacks and camp equipage. Robinson's loss was 1 killed and 7

wounded.

The Confederate loss in killed and wounded was not reported, but 4 were captured. This opened the

road for the corps to continue its march toward Savannah.

Scouting party of Pope's command.

five companies of cavalry sent out by Maj.-Gen. John Pope met a foraging party of 150 Confederate

cavalry near Monterey and after a brisk skirmish routed them.

The enemy lost 5 killed and 19 taken prisoners, while the Union forces suffered no casualties.


Monterey, Tenn.,

April 29, 1862.

2nd Brigade, Cavalry Division, Army of the Mississippi.


23

During the operations incident to the siege of Corinth this brigade, forming the head of the column,

met the enemy's pickets a miles from Monterey, rapidly drove them through their deserted camp and

captured some 20 prisoners.

The 2nd Ia. was detached to pursue on the Corinth road and while passing across a narrow bridge 4

guns were opened on the regiment, causing it to fall back with the loss of 1 killed and several

wounded.


Monterey, Va.,

April 12, 1862.

Brig.-Gen. R. H. Milroy's command.

A dispatch from Gen. Milroy to Maj.-Gen. John C. Fremont under date of April 12 says: "The rebels,

about 1,000 strong, with two cavalry companies and 2 pieces of artillery, attacked my pickets this

morning about 1O o'clock, and drove them in some 2 miles.

1 sent out reinforcements. The skirmishing was brisk for a short time, but the rebels were put to flight

with considerable loss. The casualties on our side were 3 men badly wounded."


MONTEREY GAP, PENNSYLVANIA

JULY 4-5, 1863.

Monterey Gap, Pa., July 4-5, 1863. Cavalry of the Army of the Potomac. During the pursuit of the

Confederates after the battle of Gettysburg the cavalry under Brig.-Gen. Judson Kilpatrick came up

with the enemy at Monterey gap, where the pickets were handsomely driven in by the 6th Ohio. Next

morning the command came up with Ewell's train and after a skirmish captured 150 wagons, 1,500

prisoners, a large number of horses, mules, etc. When the Federals reached Smithburg,

Md., shortly after the Confederates drove in the pickets and brought artillery to bear but a battery of

the 3d U. S. light artillery soon effectually silenced the Confederate guns and the enemy withdrew,

leaving Kilpatrick free to move to Hagerstown. The casualties were not reported.

Montevallo, Ala.,

March 30-31, 1865.

4th Cavalry Division, Army of the Mississippi.

During Wilson's raid two companies of the 4th Ia. cavalry skirmished with the enemy for several miles

before entering the village of Montevallo, but the only casualty reported was 1 man slightly wounded.

The next morning Wilson encountered the enemy at Six-mile creek, a short distance south of

Montevallo, where his advance was suddenly atacked on the flank by a considerable force of

Confederate cavalry.

The attack was quickly repulsed by the 10th Mo., and the 3d Ia. charged in turn, driving back the

enemy and cutting off a portion of the command that had become separated from the main body,

capturing several prisoners.

No report of killed and wounded.

Centerville on the 13th, proceeded with 28 men to Montevallo, where about 4:30 a. m. the

detachment was aroused by a band of 50 Confederates who demanded an immediate surrender.

A few shots from the upper windows of a house where the Union troops were stationed sent the

enemy back to the shelter of a store 50 yards away. Moss then formed his men outside, charged and

drove them from the town. The casualties amounted to 2 killed and 4 wounded on the Federal side,

while the Confederates lost a number killed and 7 wounded.

JUNE 9, 1863.

Monticello, Ky., June 9, 1863. Detachments of 2nd and 7th

Ohio Cavalry, 45th Ohio Mounted Infantry, Law's Battery and 2nd Tennessee Mounted Infantry. This

command under Col. August V. Kautz advanced on Monticello on the morning of the 9th. Four

or 5 miles beyond West's, whence the Confederate pickets had been driven some time before, the

enemy was encountered drawn up in line of battle. The battery was brought into action and after a

few rounds the Confederates were dispersed and pursued, leaving 2 dead and 10 wounded on the

field. Some 20 prisoners were captured by the Federals, whose loss was 3 wounded. Be-tween 4 and 5

p. m., after Kautz had left the town and had fallen back some distance, the rear-guard was attacked

by an overpowering force of the enemy. A portion of the 2nd Tenn. was sent to reinforce it and found

it retiring in some disor- der. The reinforcements drove the enemy back through timber half a mile,

where he rallied behind a stone wall, and in turn compelled the Federals to fall back out of range. An


28

attack was then made by the reinforced Confederates, but it was repulsed by another detachment of

the 2nd Tenn. and a portion of the 7th Ohio. Darkness put an end to the fighting. The total loss of

Kautz's force was 7 killed, 34 wounded and 6 missing. The enemy's loss was not ascertained, but 5 of

their dead, 5 wounded and 16 prisoners fell into Federal hands.

with 2 mountain howitzers, moved from Messinger's ford on Big Black river to Yazoo City.

On the 28th he marched to Moore's ford and encamped his command a mile and a half from there in the

direction of Benton, leaving a detachment with a howitzer to guard the crossing. At 4 a. m. on the 28th the

enemy vigorously attacked this detachment with 4 pieces of artillery supported by his mounted

cavalry.

The howitzer was soon disabled and after fighting about an hour the Federals withdrew toward Benton,

where they halted for dinner. That night they encamped 2 or 3 miles below Yazoo

City.

Moore,s Mills, Mo., July 28, 1862. Detachment of Missouri Militia Cavalry and 3d Iowa Cavalry. This force,

under Col. Odon Guitar, came in contact with 900 Confederates during the pursuit of Porter. The advance

was fired into from ambush but returned the fire vigorously after dismounting until the rest

of the column was deployed and the 1 gun in the Federal command was brought into action. The whole

Union line was steadily advanced for some distance and then halted. After a short lull the enemy charged,

making a desperate effort to capture the gun, but this charge and two others which followed immediately

after were repulsed with loss. About 4 p. m. the Federals charged and drove the enemy from the field. The

Union loss was 13 killed and 55 wounded, while the enemy, by Guitar's estimate, had 52 killed and from 125

to 150 wounded.

Oct. 7,1864.

6th and 8th Cavalry, Missouri State Militia.

This affair occurred during Price's Missouri Expedition, when he was approaching Jefferson City. The 6th and

8th regiments were stationed at the bridge across Moreau creek and annoyed the enemy for some time,

thereby delaying his advance.

The use of Confederate artillery compelled the militia to fall back to a strip of timber where another

detachment of the same two regiments was drawn up and repulsed the enemy for the time.

Later, however, the whole command withdrew within the intrenchments of Jefferson City. No casualties were

reported.


Morgan County, Tenn.

regiment, in which the Union captain and 5 of his men were killed and others wounded

and captured.

The Confederates suffered no loss. The only official mention of the affair is the report of the Confederate

Lieutenant- Colonel, so there is no way of knowing what Union troops participated.

The enemy scattered, losing 5 killed, 2 captured and a number wounded Ullman then pushed on to the

Atchafalaya and found a considerable force of the enemy on the opposite side, with 3 pieces of artillery in

position.

Owing to the shape of the ground Ullman could not use his artillery to advantage and retired to Morganza.

from a protected spot, captured them at the water's edge, under the fire of the enemy's cannon.

The same day Capt. Yeaton of the 1st La. cavalry, with 100 men, went to the Atchafalaya at the mouth of

the Mamie bayou, via the New Texas road, Bayou Latenache and Robinson's plantation

and on the road captured the horses and equipments of 4 Confederates who escaped to the woods.

At the Mamie bayou they captured a Confederate and by firing across the bayou, dispersed a company

encamped on the other side. Lieut. Emmons and 4 men of the 1st La. cavalry crossed over and destroyed

rifles, saddles and other equipments left by the fleeing Confederates.

Capt. Thomas J. Majors, Stephens encountered a large force of Confederates at Morgan's mill and was

immediately surrounded. After a desperate fight he cut his way out, but was followed and harassed for a

distance of 8 miles. Majors on hearing the firing came to Stephens' assistance, but was also surrounded and

obliged to cut his way out.

The Federal loss was 6 killed, 8 wounded and 8 captured. Stephens estimated the enemy's casualties as 22

killed and as many wounded.

Chickamauga Campaign

The Battle of Chickamauga, fought September 19–20, 1863,[1]

marked the

end of a Union offensive in southeastern Tennessee and northwestern Georgia

called the Chickamauga Campaign. The battle was the most significant

Union defeat in the Western Theater of the American Civil War and involved

the second highest number of casualties in the war following the Battle of

Gettysburg.

The battle was fought between the Army of the Cumberland under Maj. Gen.

William Rosecrans and the Confederate Army of Tennessee under Gen.

Braxton Bragg, and was named for Chickamauga Creek, which meanders near

the battle area in northwest Georgia (and ultimately flows into the Tennessee

River about 3.5 miles (5.6 km) northeast of downtown Chattanooga).

After his successful Tullahoma Campaign, Rosecrans renewed the offensive,

aiming to force the Confederates out of Chattanooga. In early September,

Rosecrans consolidated his forces scattered in Tennessee and Georgia and

forced Bragg's army out of Chattanooga, heading south. The Union troops

followed it and brushed with it at Davis's Cross Roads. Bragg was determined

to reoccupy Chattanooga and decided to meet a part of Rosecrans's army,

defeat it, and then move back into the city. On September 17 he headed north,

intending to attack the isolated XXI Corps. As Bragg marched north on

September 18, his cavalry and infantry fought with Union cavalry and

mounted infantry, which were armed with Spencer repeating rifles.

Fighting began in earnest on the morning of September 19. Bragg's men

strongly assaulted but could not break the Union line. The next day, Bragg

resumed his assault. In late morning, Rosecrans was misinformed that he had

a gap in his line. In moving units to shore up the supposed gap, Rosecrans

accidentally created an actual gap, directly in the path of an eight-brigade

assault on a narrow front by Confederate Lt. Gen. James Longstreet.

Longstreet's attack drove one-third of the Union army, including Rosecrans

himself, from the field. Union units spontaneously rallied to create a defensive

line on Horseshoe Ridge, forming a new right wing for the line of Maj. Gen.

George H. Thomas, who assumed overall command of remaining forces.

Although the Confederates launched costly and determined assaults, Thomas

and his men held until twilight. Union forces then retired to Chattanooga

while the Confederates occupied the surrounding heights, besieging the city.

Jessie Ellis fought in this battle.

William Anderson "Devil Anse " Hatfield is seated second from left with his

family.

William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield (September 9, 1839 – January

6, 1921) was the patriarch of the Hatfield clan during the infamous

Hatfield–McCoy feud which has since formed a part of American folklore.

Devil Anse himself survived the feud and agreed to end the feud in 1891.

Biography[edit] Hatfield was born in Logan, Virginia (now Logan, West Virginia), the son

of Ephraim Hatfield, of English descent,[1]

and Nancy Vanceme]], "Devil

Anse" was a nickname that was given to him by his mother or by Randolph

McCoy, or earned from his bravery during battle in the American Civil

War, or as contrast to his good-tempered cousin, Anderson "Preacher Anse"

Hatfield.[2]

A Southern sympathizer, Hatfield formed a Confederate guerrilla fighting

unit during the Civil War that he named "The Logan Wildcats."[3]

In 1865,

he was suspected of having been involved in the murder of his rival Asa

Harmon McCoy, who had fought for the Union Army and was waylaid by

The Wildcats on his return home. Hatfield had been home ill at the time of

the killing, which was probably committed at the instigation of his uncle,

Jim Vance. This may have sparked the beginning of the notorious feud

between the two families that claimed many lives on both sides.

Hatfield was baptized on September 23, 1911 in Island Creek and

converted to Christianity (he had maintained a largely agnostic or anti-

institutional view of religion prior to this conversion). He went on to found

a Church of Christ congregation in West Virginia.[2]

Marriage and children[edit]

William Anderson "Devil Anse" Hatfield married Levisa "Levicy" Chafin

(December 20, 1842 – March 15, 1929), the daughter of Nathaniel Chafin

and Matilda Varney, on April 18, 1861 in Logan County, West Virginia

(then Virginia). Their 14 children were as follows:

Johnson "Johnse" Hatfield (1862 – 1922) William Anderson "Cap" Hatfield (1864 – 1930) Robert E. Lee Hatfield (1866 – 1931)

Ida Mae Tipton

During the Civil War, James Murray enlisted in the Union Army a day prior to his 58th

birthday. Undoubtedly, one of his reasons for joining was because he believed segration

of the states was a bad idea.

Army records describe James Murray as being 6 1/2 foot tall, blue eyes, fair

complexion and mixed hair.

He enlisted in Company E or B (records indicate both companies, unknown if typo

or if he served in each), 3rd Regiment, Illinois Cavalry, in Cairo, IL on 21/Dec/1863.

Records indicate his sons Marcus "Mark" Murray, who was only 14 years of age and

Abner enlisted with him and served in the same company and regiment. William Murray

also joined the same company and regiment but I cannot confirm if he is the son of James

or his younger brother. On the other hand both could have enlisted. I am relatively certain

William Riley Murray (brother) did serve in the Union Army as there is a photograph of

him taken in St. Louis during the Civil War in what appears to be a Union tunic.

James and Mark joined the regiment in Port Hudson, LA almost immediately after

enlistment.

The following excerpt shows the history of the 3rd Regiment's movements around

the time James Murray served. The excerpt was taken from www.civilwar.ilgenweb.net.

In December (1863) Major O'Connor took command of this Battalion, and moved to Port Hudson, and

from thence to Memphis, again joining the Regiment, which had, since leaving Vicksburg, been engaged in

active service along the line of the Memphis and Charleston Railroad, participating in the battles of

Tupelo, Oklahoma, Guntown, Salem, and other engagements.

In April of 1864, near Port Hudson, LA, James was wounded in the left leg during a

skirmish with the enemy (sources do not describe if the wound a gunshot or other type

injury). He was put in the Regimental Hospital where he was taken with fever and

chronic diarrhea (dysentary?). It looks as though he followed with the regiment to

Eastport, Mississippi, where he was discharged on 23/Mar/1865. Army documents list the

official reason for discharge is disabilty due to chronic diarrhea (dysentary?).

However, pension letters and oral tradition indicate his wounded leg was never the

same. The sources indicate the leg was "ulcerated", "inflamed", and "swollen". Several

sources attribute his military discharge to "rheumatism" associated with the leg wound.
