Conrad Feger Jackson ( September 11 , 1813 - December 13 , 1862 ) was a businessman and soldier from the state of Pennsylvania . He served as a brigadier general in the Union Army during the American Civil War and was killed in action during the Battle of Fredericksburg .
The Battle of Fredericksburg was fought December 11-15 , 1862 , in and around Fredericksburg , Virginia , in the Eastern Theater of the American Civil War . The combat , between the Union Army of the Potomac commanded by Maj. Gen. Ambrose E. Burnside and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia under General Robert E. Lee , was part of the Union Army 's futile frontal attacks on December 13 against entrenched Confederate defenders on the heights behind the city . It is remembered as one of the most one-sided battles of the war , with Union casualties more than twice as heavy as those suffered by the Confederates . A visitor to the battlefield described the battle to U.S. President Abraham Lincoln as a butchery . Burnside 's plan was to cross the Rappahannock River at Fredericksburg in mid-November and race to the Confederate capital of Richmond before Lee 's army could stop him . Bureaucratic delays prevented Burnside from receiving the necessary pontoon bridges in time and Lee moved his army to block the crossings . When the Union army was finally able to build its bridges and cross under fire , direct combat within the city resulted on December 11-12 . Union troops prepared to assault Confederate defensive positions south of the city and on a strongly fortified ridge just west of the city known as Marye 's Heights . On December 13 , the Left Grand Division of Maj. Gen. William B. Franklin was able to pierce the first defensive line of Confederate Lt. Gen. Stonewall Jackson to the south , but was finally repulsed . Burnside ordered the Right and Center Grand Divisions of Maj. Gens . Edwin V. Sumner and Joseph Hooker to launch multiple frontal assaults against Lt. Gen. James Longstreet 's position on Marye 's Heights - all were repulsed with heavy losses . On December 15 , Burnside withdrew his army , ending another failed Union campaign in the Eastern Theater .
James Streshly Jackson ( September 27 , 1823 - October 8 , 1862 ) was a U.S. Representative from Kentucky and a brigadier general in the Union Army during the American Civil War .
Kentucky ( UK : /kɛnˈtʌki/ ken-TUK-ee , US : /kən-/ ( listen ) kən- ) , officially the Commonwealth of Kentucky , is a state located in the Southern United States . Although styled as the State of Kentucky in the law creating it , ( because in Kentucky 's first constitution , the term state was used ) , Kentucky is one of four U.S. states constituted as a commonwealth ( the others being Virginia , Pennsylvania , and Massachusetts ) . Originally a part of Virginia , in 1792 Kentucky split from it and became the 15th state to join the Union . Kentucky is the 37th most extensive and the 26th most populous of the 50 United States . Kentucky is known as the Bluegrass State , a nickname based on the bluegrass , a species of grass found in many of its pastures . One of the major regions in Kentucky is the Bluegrass Region in central Kentucky , which houses its two largest cities , Louisville and Lexington . It is a land with diverse environments and abundant resources , including the world 's longest cave system , Mammoth Cave National Park , one of the greatest lengths of navigable waterways and streams in the contiguous United States , and the two largest man-made lakes east of the Mississippi River . Kentucky is also known for horse racing , bourbon , moonshine , coal , My Old Kentucky Home historic state park , automobile manufacturing , tobacco , bluegrass music , college basketball , Kentucky Fried Chicken , and the Kentucky colonel .
The Battle of Perryville ( also known as the Battle of Chaplin Hills ) was fought on October 8 , 1862 , in the Chaplin Hills west of Perryville , Kentucky , as the culmination of the Confederate Heartland Offensive ( Kentucky Campaign ) during the American Civil War . Confederate Gen. Braxton Bragg 's Army of Mississippi [ b ] initially won a tactical victory against primarily a single corps of Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell 's Union Army of the Ohio . The battle is considered a strategic Union victory , sometimes called the Battle for Kentucky , since Bragg withdrew to Tennessee soon thereafter . The Union retained control of the critical border state of Kentucky for the remainder of the war . On October 7 , Buell 's army , in pursuit of Bragg , converged on the small crossroads town of Perryville in three columns . Union forces first skirmished with Confederate cavalry on the Springfield Pike before the fighting became more general , on Peters Hill , when the Confederate infantry arrived . Both sides were desperate to get access to fresh water . The next day , at dawn , fighting began again around Peters Hill as a Union division advanced up the pike , halting just before the Confederate line . After noon , a Confederate division struck the Union left flank - the I Corps of Maj. Gen. Alexander M. McCook - and forced it to fall back . When more Confederate divisions joined the fray , the Union line made a stubborn stand , counterattacked , but finally fell back with some units routed . Buell , several miles behind the action , was unaware that a major battle was taking place and did not send any reserves to the front until late in the afternoon . The Union troops on the left flank , reinforced by two brigades , stabilized their line , and the Confederate attack sputtered to a halt .
Nathaniel James Jackson ( July 28 , 1818 - April 21 , 1892 ) was an American machinist and soldier . He served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War , in which he was wounded three times . After the war Jackson operated a mine .
Charles Davis Jameson ( February 24 , 1827 - November 6 , 1862 ) was an American Civil War general and Democratic Party candidate for Governor of Maine . He contracted camp fever ( typhoid ) at the Battle of Fair Oaks , returned to his native state of Maine , dying in transit or soon after . Jameson was born in Gorham , Maine , but his family moved to the lumbering and sawmilling center of Old Town , Maine when he was still a child . Jameson became a successful lumberman , and in 1860 was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention from Maine . With the outbreak of war in 1861 he was elected Colonel commanding the 2nd Maine Volunteer Infantry Regiment , the first Maine unit to leave the state for the front . He led his regiment into the First Battle of Bull Run and was soon made Brigadier General of Volunteers . In the months after Bull Run the Democratic Party of Maine split into anti-war and pro-war factions , and Jameson became the gubernatorial candidate of the War Democrats . He lost the election to Republican Israel Washburn , Jr. from the neighboring town of Orono , but narrowly beat the anti-war Democrat , John W. Dana . In 1862 , however , with the war going badly , Jameson was largely abandoned by Democratic voters when he ran again , though the anti-war Democratic candidate was narrowly defeated by Republican Abner Coburn . Later that year at the Battle of Fair Oaks , Jameson was wounded and subsequently disabled by camp fever ( likely typhoid fever ) and allowed to return to Maine . He died in Old Town on November 6 , 1862 and is buried at Riverside Cemetery in Stillwater , Maine . Some sources report that Davison actually died on the steamship carrying him home between Boston and Bangor .
Andrew Johnson ( December 29 , 1808 - July 31 , 1875 ) was the 17th president of the United States , serving from 1865 to 1869 . Johnson assumed the presidency as he was vice president of the United States at the time of the assassination of Abraham Lincoln . A Democrat who ran with Lincoln on the National Union ticket , Johnson came to office as the Civil War concluded . He favored quick restoration of the seceded states to the Union without protection for the former slaves . This led to conflict with the Republican-dominated Congress , culminating in his impeachment by the House of Representatives in 1868 . Johnson was subsequently acquitted in the Senate by one vote . Johnson 's main accomplishment as president was the Alaska purchase . Johnson was born in poverty in Raleigh , North Carolina , and never attended school . Apprenticed as a tailor , he worked in several frontier towns before settling in Greeneville , Tennessee . He served as alderman and mayor there before being elected to the Tennessee House of Representatives in 1835 . After brief service in the Tennessee Senate , Johnson was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 1843 , where he served five two-year terms . He became governor of Tennessee for four years , and was elected by the legislature to the U.S. Senate in 1857 .
Tennessee ( /ˌtɛnəˈsiː/ ( listen ) , locally /ˈtɛnəsi/ ; Cherokee : ᏔᎾᏏ , romanized : Tanasi ) is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States . Tennessee is the 36th largest and the 16th most populous of the 50 United States . Tennessee is bordered by eight states , with Kentucky to the north , Virginia to the northeast , North Carolina to the east , Georgia , Alabama , and Mississippi to the south , Arkansas to the west , and Missouri to the northwest . The Appalachian Mountains dominate the eastern part of the state , and the Mississippi River forms the state 's western border . Nashville is the state 's capital and largest city , with a 2017 population of 667,560 and a 2017 metro population of 1,903,045 . Tennessee 's second largest city is Memphis , which had a population of 652,236 in 2017 . The state of Tennessee is rooted in the Watauga Association , a 1772 frontier pact generally regarded as the first constitutional government west of the Appalachians . What is now Tennessee was initially part of North Carolina , and later part of the Southwest Territory . Tennessee was admitted to the Union as the 16th state on June 1 , 1796 . Tennessee was the last state to leave the Union and join the Confederacy at the outbreak of the American Civil War in 1861 . Occupied by Union forces from 1862 , it was the first state to be readmitted to the Union at the end of the war . Tennessee furnished more soldiers for the Confederate Army than any other state besides Virginia , and more soldiers for the Union Army than the rest of the Confederacy combined .
The Governor of Tennessee is the head of government of the U.S. state of Tennessee . The governor is the only official in Tennessee state government who is directly elected by the voters of the entire state . The current governor is Bill Lee , a member of the Republican Party , who took office on January 19 , 2019 .
A governor is , in most cases , a public official with the power to govern the executive branch of a non-sovereign or sub-national level of government , ranking under the head of state . In federations , governor may be the title of a politician who governs a constituent state and may be either appointed or elected . The power of the individual governor can vary dramatically between political systems , with some governors having only nominal or largely ceremonial power , while others having a complete control over the entire government . Historically , the title can also apply to the executive officials acting as representatives of a chartered company which has been granted exercise of sovereignty in a colonial area , such as the British East India Company or the Dutch East India Company . These companies operate as a major state within a state with its own armed forces . There can also be non-political governors : high-ranking officials in private or similar governance such as commercial and non-profit management , styled governor ( s ) , who simply govern an institution , such as a corporation or a bank . For example , in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth countries , there are prison governors ( wardens in the United States ) , school governors and bank governors . The adjective pertaining to a governor is gubernatorial , from the Latin root gubernare . The historical female form is governess , though female officials are referred to by the gender-neutral form governor ( without the gender specific suffix ) of the noun to avoid confusion with other meanings of the term .
The vice president of the United States is the second-highest officer in the executive branch of the U.S. federal government , after the president of the United States , and ranks first in the presidential line of succession . The vice president is also an officer in the legislative branch , as president of the Senate . In this capacity , the vice president is empowered to preside over Senate deliberations , but may not vote except to cast a tie-breaking vote . The vice president also presides over joint sessions of Congress . The vice president is indirectly elected together with the president to a four-year term of office by the people of the United States through the Electoral College . Section 2 of the Twenty-fifth Amendment , ratified in 1967 , created a mechanism for intra-term vice presidential succession , establishing that vice presidential vacancies will be filled by the president and confirmed by both houses of Congress . Prior to 1967 , in the event a vice president succeeded to the presidency , died , or resigned from office , the vice presidency remained vacant until the next presidential and vice presidential terms began . The vice president is also a statutory member of the National Security Council , and the Board of Regents of the Smithsonian Institution . The Office of the Vice President assists and organises the vice president 's official functions . The role of the vice presidency has changed dramatically since the office was created during the 1787 constitutional Convention . Especially over the past 100 years , the vice presidency has evolved into a position of domestic and foreign policy political power , and is now widely seen as an integral part of a president 's administration . As the vice president 's role within the executive branch has expanded , his role within the legislative branch has contracted ; for example , he presides over the Senate only infrequently .
The president of the United States ( POTUS ) [ B ] is the head of state and head of government of the United States of America . The president directs the executive branch of the federal government and is the commander-in-chief of the United States Armed Forces . In contemporary times , the president is looked upon as one of the world 's most powerful political figures as the leader of the only remaining global superpower . The role includes responsibility for the world 's most expensive military , which has the second largest nuclear arsenal . The president also leads the nation with the largest economy by nominal GDP . The president possesses significant domestic and international hard and soft power . Article II of the Constitution establishes the executive branch of the federal government . It vests the executive power of the United States in the president . The power includes the execution and enforcement of federal law , alongside the responsibility of appointing federal executive , diplomatic , regulatory and judicial officers , and concluding treaties with foreign powers with the advice and consent of the Senate . The president is further empowered to grant federal pardons and reprieves , and to convene and adjourn either or both houses of Congress under extraordinary circumstances . The president directs the foreign and domestic policies of the United States , and takes an active role in promoting his policy priorities to members of Congress . In addition , as part of the system of checks and balances , Article I , Section 7 of the Constitution gives the president the power to sign or veto federal legislation .
Richard Woodhouse Johnson ( February 27 , 1827 - April 21 , 1897 ) was an officer in the Union Army during the American Civil War .
Patrick Henry Jones ( November 20 , 1830 - July 23 , 1900 ) was an American lawyer , public servant and Postmaster of New York City during the mid-to late 19th century . In 1878 , he was involved in the Alexander T. Stewart bodysnatching case when he was contacted by the kidnappers to act as an intermediary between themselves and the Stewart estate . When negotiations stalled between the Stewart family 's lawyer Henry Hilton , he assisted Stewart 's widow in negotiating for the return of her husband 's body . Jones also had a successful military career serving with the Union Army during the American Civil War , being involved in thirty major battles and countless skirmishes , and reaching the rank of brigadier general before the war 's end . He was one of ten Irish-Americans to become brigade commanders and one of four Irish born officers to become a divisional commander .
Henry Moses Judah ( June 12 , 1821 - February 14 , 1866 ) was a career officer in the United States Army , serving during the Mexican-American War and American Civil War . He is most remembered for his role in helping thwart Morgan 's Raid in 1863 and for leading a disastrous attack during the Battle of Resaca .
