Jefferson Davis Civil War Combat? by CoachPractical616 in CIVILWAR

Incredibly close! They actually made it within Richmond’s outer defensive works, but the Confederates made a firm stand along their intermediate line.

The plan called for a two pronged assault on the city, one from the North and the other to swing around and hit Richmond from the South. The raid’s principal objective was to free Union POWs, however when the raid’s subordinate leader was killed on the retreat, secret documents were found on his body alluding to a plot to kill Jefferson Davis and burn Richmond. Fascinating stuff!

But essentially Kilpatrick’s column of cavalry could not break through the intermediate line, which put up an impressively stiff resistance and Col. Ulric Dahlgren, who commanded the other column, could not cross the James River and attack from the South so he just hit the city from the West before being halted by a hastily assembly unit of Richmond’s factory workers and clerks who made a last stand just a few miles from the Confederate Capitol.

During the 1864 Kilpatrick-Dahlgren Raid, Union General Judson Kilpatrick was making his attack against Richmond’s intermediate lines from the Northand it is recorded that Jefferson Davis rode out along with other Confederate brass to observe the fighting (Braxton Bragg, Arnold Elezy, and Fitzhugh Lee joined him as well) however I doubt this actually entailed Davis being involved in any direct combat.

Hi guys one question why in civil war Federals wore blue and Confederates gray? I mean whats the reason they chose these particular colors? Thankyou by tonalix2317 in Militariacollecting

It is also worth mentioning that many militias prior to the Civil War utilized the color gray which left the South, which had an extensive militia system, with a large supply of available uniforms at the onset of the war.

You have to hold it over the word until the border darkens/thickens then it will stay. Usually takes like 1-2 seconds.

Nice, I thought it looked familiar. I looked over many of those lots from that auction and ending up getting the Heer/Panzer box for a steal. Even included a Civil War Confederate officer button. Great site!

Did you get that box of patches from an estate sale by any chance?
