How ironic the north went to war under the premise of freeing the slaves then enslaves an entire sovergne nation.
Apparently, there were (or will be) two engagements at Morristown, Tennessee, the first on December 1, 1861 and reported here, December 6, the second on October 28, 1864.
But details of the two battles seem to be getting confused with each other.
East Tennessee's Parson Brownlow is here mentioned as the Union leader, and no others.
On October 28, 1864 the Union leader was Alvan Gilham, Confederate leader was John Vaughn.
This site puts Gilham & Vaughn fighting in Morristown on December 1, 1861.
Meanwhile, this site doesn't mention an engagement in 1861, leaves out Parson Brownlow, puts the battle on October 28, 1864 and includes there Gilham & Vaughn.
This biography of Parson Brownlow says he was in Nashville on December 6, 1861, when he was arrested & jailed.
There is no mention here of a battle at Morristown, though just possibly the New York Times report of one contributed to Brownlow's arrest in Nashville.
Apparently it was only the intervention of CSA Secretary of War, Judah Benjamin, which prevented Brownlow from being executed along with other Unionists captured in eastern Tennessee.
IIRC, every post since 1859 has two words. Slavery and cotton.
Both are considered commodities the time.
What will the issue be this time? Slavery and energy?
