As he personally directed the withdrawal, Garnett was shot and instantly killed by Union troops under General Thomas A. Morris, becoming the first Confederate general killed during the #CivilWar. His men broke and ran, leaving Garnett’s body, a cannon and 40 wagons of supplies.
#OTD in 1864, Lincoln stood at the top of the parapet at Fort Stevens in Washington, DC for a good look at the attacking Confederates, causing one soldier to shout, "Get down, you fool, or you'll have your head knocked off!" Who knows the name of that soldier? #CivilWarHistory

Burgerville:
🗣️ Defends the Confederate flag
🗣️ Fired a POC worker who spoke up about a racist manager with a Confederate flag tattoo
🗣️ Tried to fire a Black worker right before her maternity leave because she supported the union
Say NO to racism and #BoycottBurgerville!
Today, at contract negotiations, @BurgervilleUSA's lawyer defended the Confederate flag.
According to this lawyer, it wasn't a hate symbol 5 years ago. 🤔
Yet another reason to #BoycottBurgerville!
@tedcruz Your base is confederacy lead by a guy who thinks your wife is ugly!
Other ships began to withdraw. Farragut, lashed high in the rigging of the Hartford, ordered them back forward, famously saying “Damn the torpedoes”, and then ordered full speed. The fleet charged into the bay and defeated the Confederate batteries and fleet.
His first task was to capture the @CityOfNOLA, which he accomplished in April, 1862, by daring to run his fleet past the Confederate positions at Forts Jackson and St. Philip on the Mississippi River.
@thehill I wish the people's health was as important as the confederacy to Donald!
The local Confederate commander, Theophilus Holmes, had over 7500 men available for the assault. The Union commander, General Benjamin Prentiss, had only 4100 troops, having seen over 10,000 men depart to reinforce the army at Vicksburg just days before.
"Papà , come mai siamo stati capaci di eleggere il nostro primo presidente nero, con le statue dei generali confederati ancora in piedi?"
"Siamo maturati come paese, e poi siamo diventati immaturi."

It just occurred to me that now would be an extremely interesting time for @DCComics to commission a new Haunted Tank comic.
(If you're unfamiliar, it was long-running feature about a WWII tank crew occasionally assisted by the ghost of Confederate General J.E.B. Stuart)
These are 5 years apart from one another. I originally pitched #ConfederateMonster back then. However, I needed time to develop my skills first. The results are SHOCKING!!!

The Battle of @KennesawNPS Mountain was fought #OTD in 1864. Part of General William Tecumseh Sherman's Atlanta Campaign, it involved a frontal assault Sherman elected to launch on the Confederate line at Kennesaw Mountain after a series of flanking movements failed. #CivilWar
Is #America's Tragic Flirtation with the #Confederacy Finally Ending? Many films and stories romanticized the “Old #Plantation #South.” The phrase "Moonlight and Magnolias" summed up this misplaced nostalgia. https://t.co/U3yHv0B3qG #MoonligtMagnolias
#OTD in 1864, Gen. Ambrose Burnside approved the plan of Lt. Col. Henry Pleasants to have his regiment, the 48th Pennsylvania Infantry, dig a tunnel beneath the confederate positions at @PetersburgNPS. The tunnel would then be packed with explosives and detonated. #CivilWar
Winslow ordered Kearsage to clear French waters before running up the US Navy Jack and turning to face the confederate ship. The Alabama fired the first shots, to no effect, and continued firing rapidly and somewhat wildly. Many shots bounded off the Kearsage's armor cladding.
