I just checked him out and John Floyd was a Virginian and became a Confederate general. I can’t fathom what sort of “honor” Major Anderson violated by placing his little command in the best situation to try to fend off an attack by South Carolinians. I guess to Southerners, the only “honorable” course was to allow his command to be taken prisoners. I must have missed that course in my Army training.

Floyd will not make a great general.
