It has been accepted for inclusion in Swedish American Genealogist by an authorized editor of Augustana Digital Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Swedish Generals and ° Colonels in Gray 1861-1865 '·\ Bertil Haggman* and Lars Gjertveu+ Preface At the outbreak of the American Civil War, the U.S. census of 1860 reported 750 Swedes living in what would be the Confederate States of America. Perhaps not more than fifty joined the Confederate army and navy. The full story of all these Swedes in gray remains to be written. This modest booklet is an attempt to introduce higher officers of Swedish origin who were in the Confederate army. Of the two generals, one (Brigadier General Charles G. Dahlgren)· was commissioned by the Governor of Mississippi; the other (Brigadier General Roger W. Hanson), by a Richmond commission . It is the hope of the authors that this little booklet will encourage further research, both in Scandinavia and the United States, into the military careers of these officers and contribute to the celebration this year [1996] in Sweden and the United States of the start of Swedish mass immigration to America in 1846.

  • Annual George Seligman Installation Dinner: from the Brigade Commander: Ed Root
    June 2017 – Winter Campaign 39: Meeting on June 06, 2017 Annual George Seligman Installation Dinner: June 6th is our annual Seligman Dinner. As George Seligman passed away in 1985, many of you never had the pleasure to have known George. Every organization has one member who leaves an indelible imprint. George was an Air Force veteran and was in the insurance business. He was always cheerful and didn’t have a shy bone in his body. It was George who led a small group of Civil War history enthusiasts from the rather formal setting of the Lehigh County Court House to the promised land of monthly dinner meetings and a membership that grew from dozens to hundreds. George, while our gregarious leader, always prodded others into the front, always encouraged others to step up and share the responsibility and the fun of being part of this wonderful round table. George loved to keep things loose and nary a meeting went by without someone being picked on in a loving and caring manner. In fact, it was an honor to be so chosen. He made it clear that we were all students of history, that some may be very knowledgeable and others novices, but the point was that even the most serious and knowing could and did learn from the novice. George loved the story of Joshua Chamberlain and the 20th Maine at Gettysburg in a time long before the Ken Burn’s series made him a household name. Our success over the years is due in great part to the foundation and standard that George set.

  • Juneteenth Timeline Compiled and Edited by James Elton Johnson April, 2021
    Annotated Juneteenth Timeline compiled and edited by James Elton Johnson April, 2021 The Juneteenth holiday is a uniquely American commemoration that is rooted in the Civil War. With an emphasis on southern New Jersey, this timeline is constructed from a regional perspective of metropolitan Philadelphia. 1860 November 6 Abraham Lincoln elected president December 18 The Crittenden Compromise is proposed by Kentucky Senator John J. Crittenden. This proposed legislation would have extended the Missouri Compromise line (36o 30’ latitude north) to the Pacific Ocean. Both Republicans and Democrats opposed this plan. Republicans were concerned about the territories being open tto slavery and unfair competition for white workers. Democrats were against any restriction on slavery in the territories. December 20 South Carolina secedes. President James Buchannan fails to act. 1861 January 9 Mississippi secedes January 10 Florida secedes January 11 Alabama secedes January 19 Georgia secedes January 26 Louisiana secedes February 1 Texas secedes March 4 Lincoln is inaugurated March 21 The Corvin amendment (below) is passed by Congress and submitted to the states for ratification. If ratified, this proposed 13th amendment would have explicitly enshrined the system of slavery into the U.S. Constitution. No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State. 2 But for the outbreak of war, ratification of the Corvin amendment by the states was quite likely.
