[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I new he was a Brigadier General in California before the war so thats why I guessed him.

[cpeeks]

Wrong again it was Texas.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Wrong again it was Texas.

cpeeks, you get so much wrong that is easily checked, one wonders if you are trying to troll.

While Albert Sydney Johnson was from Texas, at the time that the Civil War broke out he was commander of the Department of California, resigning his commission in the U.S. Army when he received word of the secession of Texas.  The story of Johnson's trek across the desert with the Los Angeles Mounted Rifles as they headed east to join the Confederate cause is an interesting tale worthy of being made into a movie, but for some reason never has been.  It fits so well into the Lost Cause mythology that Hollywood embraced for a time, but I can't see it being made into a movie today.

Lets see Adams, Adams, Jefferson,, Clinton, Obama, Buchanan....  I think lol.....

Technically Jefferson was Colonel of the Albermarle County Militia, though not during wartime.

Buchanan served as a private in the War of 1812.  


6 in a row who didn't serve: Taft, Wilson, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, FDR.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Question:  Which presidents had been Secretary of War?

Monroe, Taft (William Howard, not Alphonso)

Which nine cities can claim to have served as the Capital City of the United States?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Since we have moved on, the answer to my last question, was Robert Toombs.

Wrong again it was Texas.

Nice try. As TF said, he was commander of the dept of California.

Which brings on another question. There were three Civil War Generals that served under Albert Sidney Johnston in CA prior to the war, two were Union, one confederate, who were they?

[cpeeks]

My bad your right it was  California, but I thought he commanded two confederates, and one union general, and they would have been confederate:armistead, garnett, union: hancock.

What significant role did Armistead's uncle play in the War of 1812?
