During the Civil War, in New Orleans, US General Butler was so popular the people placed his photo in places of honor, like thunder mugs, chamber pots and pee pots.

Which led to General Order No. 28:
"As the officers and soldiers of the United States have been subject to repeated insults from the women (calling themselves ladies) of New Orleans in return for the most scrupulous non-interference and courtesy on our part, it is ordered that hereafter when any female shall by word, gesture, or movement insult or show contempt for any officer or soldier of the United States she shall be regarded and held liable to be treated as a woman of the town plying her avocation."
