    1. [KYWBTSVETS] TAYLOR SURRENDERS TO CANBY
    2. CONFEDERATE HISTORICAL POST: MAY 4th in 1865 RICHARD TAYLOR SURRENDERED AT CITRONELLE SPRING OF MAY FOURTH IN EIGHTEEN SIXTY-FIVE Nearly a month after General Robert E. Lee had chose to surrender their Army of Northern Virginia to northern forces in central Virginia, the cascading events of more surrenders would rapidly follow. These military men are not politicians, and had known their enemies strengths. One by one these Confederate commanders will make fateful decisions to end the combat, knowing its time to bring their War for Southern Independence to a close. On the 4th of May in 1865, Confederate General Rich- ard Taylor, who was the commander of all Confederate troops in Alabama, Mississippi and in east Louisiana, chooses to surrender to Union General Edward Canby at Citronelle, Alabama. Taylor is offered transportation access for his troops, so they could return to all their homes; transport ships were also made accessible.

    1. [KYWBTSVETS] The Blue and the Gray by Frances Miles Finch/ Confederate Memorial Day

    3. "The Confederate Memorial Day is observed on Sunday, April 26 in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi; on May 10 in North Carolina and South Carolina; on May 30 in Virginia; and on June 3 (Jefferson Davis's birthday) in Kentucky, Louisiana, and Tennessee." http://home.att.net/~mysmerelda/confederate.html The following poem was included in an old newspaper article, illustrated by drawings of Ulysses S. Grant and Robert E. Lee. It was in with Civil War memorabilia belonging to the family of James Merriman ALSTON, [Culloden, MONROE CO, GA.] who is listed as having surrendered at Appomattox Court House on page 46 of the book 'The Appomattox Paroles, April 9-15, 1865". Records show that James Merriman was first enrolled in Co. B, 45th REGIMENT, GA INFANTRY, (Rutland Volunteers), on 1/1/1862, Macon, GA (also shown as 2/26/1862 Monroe Co.). and later transferred on 4/13/1863 to Co. B., 2nd GA. INFANTRY BATTALION (Macon Volunteers). The Blue and the Gray by Frances Miles Finch By the flow of the inland river, Whence the fleets of iron have fled, Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver, Asleep on the ranks of the dead; Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Under the one, the Blue; Under the other, the Gray. These in the robings of glory, Those in the gloom of defeat; All with the battle-blood gory, In the dusk of eternity meet; Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Under the laurel, the Blue; Under the willow, the Gray. >From the silence of sorrowful hours, The desolate mourners go, Lovingly laden with flowers, Alike for the friend and the foe; Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Under the roses, the Blue; Under the lilies, the Gray. So, with an equal splendor, The morning sun-rays fall, With a touch impartially tender, On the blossoms blooming for all; Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Broidered with gold, the Blue; Mellowed with gold, the Gray. So, when the summer calleth, On forest and field of grain, With an equal murmur falleth The cooling drip of the rain; Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Wet with the rain, the Blue; Wet with the rain, the Gray. Sadly, but not with upbraiding, The generous deed was done; In the storm of the years that are fading, No braver battle was won; Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Under the blossoms, the Blue; Under the garlands, the Gray. No more shall the war-cry sever, Or the winding rivers be red; They banish our anger forever, When they laurel the graves of our dead. Under the sod and the dew, Waiting the judgment day; Love and tears for the Blue; Tears and love for the Gray. http://www.poetry-online.org/finch_frances_the_blue_and_the_gray.htm http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79EQikT5bF0

    1. [KYWBTSVETS] DAVIS IS GIVEN A LETTER FROM LEE
    2. LEE SENT A LETTER TO JEFFERSON FINIS DAVIS APRIL TWENTIETH IN EIGHTEEN SIXTY-FIVE The fall of the Confederate States of America had taken many unexpected turns in April of 1865. One of them is the rapid retreat of the Army of Northern Virginia into the countrysides of central Virginia. Just ahead of them are a number of politicians who were seeking refuge too. The President of the Confederacy was perhaps one of the most highly sought after figures from the Confederacy. If captured his imprisonment, would have immediately send a message throughout the south, or so it was believed. It had been a few short years for them to be in power, but life will radically change for everyone throughout the south beginning in May of 1865. On the 20th of April in 1865 President Jefferson Davis was given a letter sent directly from General Robert E. Lee. He sternly mentions that he is opposed to the continuation of hostilities through guerilla warfare. He highly recommends an end to all of the fighting for southern independence. The letter was a bitter pill to swallow, from his former confidant and commander of all their southern forces. REMEMBERING THE CAUSE OF SOUTHERN INDEPENDENCE

    1. [KYWBTSVETS] GENERAL GORDON LED CONFEDERATE SURRENDER
    2. GORDON WILL LEAD CONFEDERATE SURRENDER APRIL TWELFTH IN EIGHTEEN SIXTY-FIVE Following the signature given by Robert E. Lee, a formal surrender ceremony was all that was necessary to close the War for Southern Independence. Neither of these two main characters would attend, but they had a representa- tive present to participate in the formalities. General Joshua Chamberlain is accorded the honor of ac- cepting the arms and flags of the Confederate States Army at Appomattox. His soldiers would line the road leading to the McLean home and are truly inspired by the significance it held for the country. Chamberlain's men would come to "order arms" and stay in that position until all the Confederates had stacked all their arms. Confederate General Gordon would call for the same order, "honor answering honor." For all practicl puposes the struggle for southern independence is all over.

    2. LEE ADDRESSES ARMY OF NORTHERN VIRGINIA ARPIL TENTH IN EIGHTEEN SIXTY-FIVE After signing the document which would surrender their Army of Northern Virginia to the union, General R.E.Lee leaves the building and would never return to it again. A part of his life had been commited to their Confederacy, and now it was time to lay it down and move on with life. General Lee mounted Traveler and returns to their south- ern lines and rides through the camps with a courageous unabridged boldness. He gathered the various units with him and addressed all their concerns. His voice is calm, but his determination was unrestrained. He starts off by telling them that he applauded their valor and courage in the struggle for southern independence. Lee would tell them that he felt the time has now arrived when any more sacrifice by them could produce nothing that would compensate for the loss that would be suffer- ed. He tells them to go home until properly exchanged and he bid them goodbye: "With an increasing devotion to your country, and a grateful remembrance o your kind and generous considertion of myself. I bid you an affec- tionate farewell." REMEMBERING THE CAUSE OF SOUTHERN INDEPENDENCE THIS HAS BEEN POSTED AS AN HISTORICAL ANNIVERSARY PLEASE FORWARD YOUR REPLIES TO YOUR OWN LISTS.

    2. POSTED AS HISTORICAL ANNIVERSARY MESSAGE GENERAL LEE DISCUSSES TERMS OF SURRENDER APRIL EIGHTH IN EIGHTEEN SIXTY-FIVE The bottle neck which the Army of Northern Virginia faces on the 8th of April is a disheartening one to say the least. They had spent the last four years defeating and outman- euvering the northerners on many battlefields. Now it was time to lay down their arms for good. On the 8th of April Union General Grant wrote Lee that his one condition of surrender was that his troops and officers be permanently disqualified from taking up arms against the government of the United States of America. It will be a matter of discussion among his staff that was disputed. Many of his officers hoped the military would be a lifelong career, and his decision would affect thousands of them. Late in the eving of the 8th of April, Confederate General Lee would turn down the idea of surrender for the moment. He still believed that they had a chance to break through the federal lines. He was waiting on up to the minute data and reconnaissance from his trusted scouts and officers.

    1. [KYWBTSVETS] JOHNSTON CONSIDERS HIS STRATEGY
    2. HISTORICAL POST: ADD YOUR COMMENTS IF U WANT JOHNSTON STUDIES ALL THE POLITICAL COMPLEXIONS In determining his line of operations Confederate General A.S Johnston had to consider the typography of the theatre of war in Kentucky in 1861. There are some political complexions to consider as well, as he made decisions to place all his limited military resources. In eastern Kentucky there was a line from the mouth of the Big Sandy River where western Virginia meets Ohio and Kentucky. In central and west Kentucky there were larger considerations for Johnston to consider. He also knew that there would be the matter of political confrontations they would face. He first chose to consider the Cumberland Gap region to begin his campaign. Every circumstance pointed to the Cumberland Gap as the stra- tegic point of the first importance. Here he positioned a fortified camp which would define General Johnston's right line, and also as a barrier to the northern invasion into Tennessee. Beyond all of these concerns the water lines of western Kentucky would be one of the great weaknesses to the Confederacy. Johnston had a lot of work cut out for him in the late summer of 1861.

    1. [KYWBTSVETS] JOHNSTON ISSUES HIS MANIFESTO
    2. POSTED TO OUR LIST FOR HISTORICAL CONTENT JOHNSTON COUNTER-ATTACKS FEDERAL INVASISON The control of Kentucky in 1861 would take on a deliberate competition of sorts during the late summer. After Buckner captured Bowling Green, Confederate General Johnston in a matter of hours would issue his own manifesto in direct confrontation with one issued by Buckner at Bowling Green Whereas the armed occupation of a part of Kentucky by the United States, and the preparations which manifest their in- tention of the government to invade the Confederate States through the territory, has imposed it on these last as a ne- cessity of self-defense to enter that state and meet the in- vasion upon the best line for military operations. And whereas, it is proper that the motives of the government of the Confederate States, in taking this step should be fully known to the world: Now, therefore, I, Albert Sidney Johnston, general and com- mander of the Western department of the army of the Confed- erate States of America, do proclaim that these states have thus marched their troops into Kentucky with no hostile in- tention toward its people, nor do they desire or seek to con- trol their choice in regard to their union with either the Con- federacies, or to subjugate their state, or hold its soil against their wishes. On the contrary, they deem it to be the right of the people of Kentucky to determine their own position in re- gard to the belligerents. It is far better for them to say whether they will join either Confederacy, or maintain a sepaerate ex- istence as an independent and sovereign state. The armed occupation of their soil, both as to its extent and duration will therefore, be srictly limited by the exigencies of self-defense on the part of the Confederate States of America.

    1. [KYWBTSVETS] DAVIS APPOINTS STEPHENS
    2. PRESIDENT DAVIS APPOINTS STEPHENS TO REPRESENT SOUTH JANUARY TWENTY-EIGHTH IN EIGHTEEN SIXTY-FIVE The call for peace negotiations had been in progress since the beginning of the War for Southern Independence. Yet for years it was overlooked as having no possibility. As the year of 1864 draws to an end, and 1865 was before them, the glimmer of a hope would be revived. On the 28th of January in 1865, Confederate President Jefferson Davis will appoint his second in command to represent the Confederacy in a peace conference with Lincoln. Joining Vice President Alexander Stephens was Robert M T Hunter who was now the president pro tempore of their Senate and the Confederate Assistant Secretary of War, John A Campbell. These men would do their best to represent the Confederate States of America. The negotiations were very tense and lasted for only a few hours. The men representing the Confederacy left these meetings realizing that their options were extremely limited. They would immediately give a report to Davis who was in Richmond awaiting their opinions.
