Morgan, John Hunt

In občianskej vojne padol aj one of the najznámejších južanských generálov the cavalry of John Hunt Morgan. Became a familiar najmä your najsevernejším nájazdom during občianskej the army. General Morgan pochádzal from Alabama. Long sa you want out to get into the army, but nedarilo sa him. After the outbreak of the U.s.-mexican war sa registered ako dobrovoľník. After the end of the war sa dedicated plantážnictvu. In the year 1853 sa his manželke was born mŕtvy son. Da tragédia viedla to odcudzeniu oboch husbandtown. Morgan started viesť bohemian life hazardného player, and and sukničkára. Nevertheless sa always occupied about vojenskú service and slúžil in domobrane of the state of Kentucky.

Similar to ako väčšina obyvateľov Kentucky, or spočiatku Morgan prívržencom secesie. In júli 1861, however, odchádza to Tennessee, to sa volunteered to konfederačnej army. Morgan was very aktívny and čoskoro formed a second jazdecký regiment from Kentucky and became a his colonel. He fought in bitke pri Shiloh, where sa predviedol in dobrom light and pre separatistov of Kentucky sa čoskoro become vzorom. Your nájazdmi sa became nočnou mora pre unionistov. Pri prvon nájazde to Kentucky from about 900 us men has been causing unionistom huge problems. Destroy ich logistics, looted and captured about 1200 mužov dispersed in smaller oporných bodoch in Kentucky. His nájazd spôsobil panic in Kentucky and množstvo zúfalých prosieb for help addressed to Bielemu house. Niektorí experts hovoria that Morganove nájazdy bol oveľa better organized and led, ako nájazdy J.E.B. Stuart.

For ďalšie successful stock bol in decembri 1862 promoted to the rank of brigádneho general. In the summer of 1863 he set off with niekoľkými hundreds jazdcov on nájazd known as the "Morgan raid". Prešiel cez rieku Ohio and vpadol cez južnú Indiana to Ohio. His nájazd frightened obyvateľstvo little štátov and viazal veľké federálne forces. His vystrájanie stopped federálne unit 19. júla 1863, which attacked his brigade pri prechode embankment of the Ohio, at Buffington Island. Saved sa barely 200 mužov, ktorých federálne units to spur them on to leave niekoľko days, who job pretty broke. Morgan ended up in captured, well for the adventurous circumstances sa he managed to ujsť. Although his nájazd has won him fame on the oboch sides, in konečnom dôsledku viedol to rozbitiu and zničeniu his brigade, who at the západnom bojisku citeľne chýbala.


After his now are back to eating zo zajatia opäť velil jazdeckej brigáde, well quality vojakov in his jednotke sa didn't porovnať with teams, ktorých lost pri nájazde. Velenie him znepríjemňovali aj disputes with generálom Braggom tells him to blame his nájazd on vlastnú päsť. There's even a sa naňho was about obvinenie for the offences, which committed by ill-disciplined soldiers under his command. In this period, um, she was going to a new nájazd on the Knoxville. I'll never neuskutočnil, because it 4. septembra 1864 prekvapil nájazd unionistickej cavalry pri Greeneville. His unit sa broke up, and Morgan was killed during escape from miesta defeat. General Morgan is buried on the cintoríne Lexington in rovnomennom town, in štáte Kentucky.
