Chief-
Thanks for your post, I looked him up in Generals in Gray and found he was elected to the GA. House of Representatives after the war and refused his seat by the Republician radicals. It would seem that his love of GA was greater than of Union, the same as Robert E,huh
My own greats could not read or write, signed everything with a 'X' They were share croppers and owned no slaves, were little more than white slaves themselves. I have always felt that if slavery was an issue with them it was the thought that the freed slaves would put them out of the sharecropper bussiness.
