Did LT Pelham get a medal of Honor too? Civil War Buffs would remember him. What no MOH for members of the CSA?
I appreciate that the CSA was made up of “Americans.” But since they were in rebellion against the United States of America it would seem that awarding them medals from the Congress would be a little, awkward.
Is there any other war where the Congress of the United States awarded medals to “enemy soldiers?”
No MoH for Confederate soldiers. Their government went out of existence in April 1865.
