When the Civil War broke out he entered the Army as a Brigadier General in 1861.  Shortly after he was wounded and then resigned from the Army returning to the iron works.  It was the Confederacy's major (and for much of the war only) source of cannons and munitions, employing some 900 workers, most of whom slaves.
