@GogoneaGabriela *Jumps out into confederation reunion* Hello there!

Opposing Banks was Dick Taylor’s small confederate army, entrenched in an outpost named Fort Bisland near the Bayou Teche region of central Louisiana. It was the only major defensive position barring Banks’ advance.
#OTD in 1861, southern troops in Charleston, SC displayed their confederate heritage by opening fire without provocation on the @USArmy post at @FtSumterNPS, situated on an island at the mouth of Charleston Harbor. The bombardment began the #CivilWar. #ConfederateHeritageMonth
Despite his racist views, violence against Black people, and participation in the rebellion against the United States, Hampton remains revered in much of South Carolina. Streets, parks, and schools are named in his honor. #ConfederateHeritageMonth
John’s brother-in-law was Jeb Stuart, who also chose the confederacy. A flamboyant, mostly effective leader of cavalry, but also famously failed to report US troop movements before @GettysburgNMP. He was killed at the Battle of Yellow Tavern. #ConfederateHeritageMonth
9 April 1388: The Old Swiss Confederacy defeats the Archduchy of Austria, the Habsburgs, in the Battle of #Naefels despite being outnumbered 16 to 1. It was the last battle of the Swiss-Austrian conflicts that lasted through most of the 14th century. #ad https://t.co/h4TzxGLZUA
With the U.S. position on Cemetery Ridge in danger of being breached, General Winfield Hancock saw a confederate brigade advancing toward a gap in his lines. He turned to Colvill, commanding the only infantry in the area, and ordered "Advance, Colonel, and take those colors!"
Jesse James was killed #OTD in 1882. Before beginning his career as a common outlaw, he served with Bloody Bill Anderson's confederate guerrilla band in the #CivilWar & participated in the Centralia Massacre in which 24 @USArmy soldiers were murdered. #ConfederateHeritageMonth
Some southern states still designate April as #ConfederateHeritageMonth, so we use the opportunity to note that William Pegram’s heritage was to be mortally wounded #OTD in 1865 by soldiers of the @USArmy during the abject confederate defeat at the Battle of Five Forks. #CivilWar
Marvin Camel, the first official cruiserweight champion, and a member of the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes.
A soldier of the Confederacy of New Richmond. These soldiers are volunteer men and women who want to protect the former Terran colony from both Earth and non-humans.
Sure their numbers are small but they're hella good at guerrilla warfare
Every soldier, Union or Confederate, were Americans; fathers, husbands, sons and brothers. Honoring these soliders is a way to show respect to those that came before us, and is a reminder to not repeat past. #civilwar #reenactors https://t.co/lWRXC1KxZN
Jasón de Feras se convirtió en tirano de su ciudad, ubicada en la región de Tesalia, en el año 385 a.C. ⚔️
Su política siempre estuvo influida por las ideas de Isócrates, un orador ateniense que abogaba por la confederación de las polis griegas contra el imperio persa.
Walter Herron Taylor, who served as principal aide-de-camp to Robert E. Lee for the entire #CivilWar, died #OTD in 1916 at the age of 77. He was one of only two other confederate officers besides Lee who attended the signing of the surrender documents at @AppomattoxNPS.
The ship ran aground off the coast of Georgia on the last day of February, 1863. When the ironclad USS Montauk came upon her, they raked the grounded ship with 11- and 15-inch gunfire, sinking her and ending the career of the first successful confederate raider.

Once it became clear this was the entire confederate force, Canby led the rest of the Ft. Craig garrison to reinforce Roberts. Initially, Canby’s men had the upper hand, including repelling the first and only lancer charge of the war, made by a company of Texas mounted infantry.
