Battle of Dover ( 1863 ) The Battle of Dover , also known as the Second Battle of Fort Donelson , was a battle of the American Civil War , occurring on February 3 , 1863 , in Stewart County , Tennessee . In late January 1863 , Confederate Maj . Gen . Joseph Wheeler , commanding two brigades of cavalry , took position on the Cumberland River at Palmyra to disrupt Union shipping . The Federals , however , apprised of Wheeler ' s intent , refrained from sending any boats up or downriver . Unable to disrupt Union shipping and realizing that he and his men could not remain in the area indefinitely , Wheeler decided to attack the garrison at Dover , Tennessee , which informers reported was small and could easily be overwhelmed . The Rebels set out for Dover and between 1 : 00 and 2 : 00 p . m . , on February 3 , began an attack . The 800 - man garrison , under the command of Colonel Abner C . Harding , was in and about the town of Dover where they had chosen camps that commanded the area and had dug rifle pits and battery emplacements . The Confederates mounted a determined attack using artillery fire with great skill , but were repulsed with heavy losses . By dusk , both sides were mostly without ammunition . The Confederates surveyed the Union defenses and decided that the enemy was too well - placed to allow capture . Wheeler ' s force retired . The Federals sent out a pursuit but to no avail . The Confederates had failed to disrupt shipping on the Cumberland River and capture the garrison at Dover . This Confederate failure left the Union in control in Middle Tennessee and a bitter Brig . Gen . Nathan Bedford Forrest denounced Wheeler , a favorite of Gen . Braxton Bragg , saying he would not again serve under him .
1st South Carolina Volunteers ( Union ) The First South Carolina Volunteers was a Union Army regiment during the American Civil War . It was composed of escaped slaves from South Carolina and Florida . There had been previous attempts to form black units in New Orleans and Kansas , but they were not officially recognized . The 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry , whose exploits are memorialized in the film " Glory " , was formed afterwards and drew from free Northern blacks . Department of the South staff officer James D . Fessenden was heavily involved in efforts to recruit volunteers for the 1st South Carolina . Although it saw some combat , the regiment was not involved in any of the war ' s major battles . Its first commander was Thomas Wentworth Higginson who was — as were all the other officers — white . A proclamation by Confederate President Jefferson Davis had indicated that members of the regiment would not be treated as prisoners of war if taken in battle . The enlisted men would be auctioned off as slaves and the white officers were to be hanged . The threat was not carried out officially . The regiment was a step in the evolution of Union thinking towards the escaped slaves who crossed their lines . Initially they were returned to their owners . Next they were considered contraband and used as laborers . Finally the legal fiction that they were property was abandoned and they were allowed to enlist in the Army , although in segregated units commanded by white officers . Harriet Tubman served with these men as a cook , nurse , spy , and scout . Susie King Taylor , whose husband and other relatives fought with the regiment , also served as a laundress and nurse for the men from August 1862 until mustering out on February 9 , 1866 . As a hangover from the " contraband " days , black privates were paid $ 10 per month , the rate for laborers , rather than the $ 13 paid to white privates . The men served as the precedent for the over 170 , 000 " colored " troops who followed them into the Union Army . Col . Higginson , a minister , author and abolitionist , documented the Gullah dialect spoken by the men and made a record of the spirituals that they sang . The regiment was re - designated the 33rd United States Colored Infantry Regiment on February 8 , 1864 . See also . List of Union South Carolina Civil War Units
Battle of Elixheim The Battle of Elixheim , 18 July 1705 , also known as the Passage of the Lines of Brabant was a battle of the War of the Spanish Succession . The Duke of Marlborough successfully broke through the French Lines of Brabant , an arc of defensive fieldworks stretching in a seventy - mile arc from Antwerp to Namur . Although he was unable to bring about a decisive battle , the breaking and subsequent razing of the lines would prove critical to the allied victory at Ramillies the next year . Prelude . Early in the campaigning season , Marlborough attempted to launch an invasion of France up the Moselle valley . This effort was halted by a combination of supply shortages and an excellent French defensive position in front of Sierck , and Marlborough and his army were recalled by the Dutch States General when Marshall Villeroi attacked and took the fortress of Huy and threatened Liege . Having rushed back to the Low Countries ( and forcing Villeroi to retreat behind his defenses ) , Marlborough retook Huy , and then planned to break through the lines to bring Villeroi to battle . Breakthrough . On the evening of 17 July Marlborough sent the Dutch troops under Marshal Overkirk in a feint southwards towards Namur , drawing Villeroi and 40 , 000 men after them . Overnight he marched with his own English and Scottish troops northwards to the small village of Eliksem ( " Elixheim " ) , and there broke through the lines without resistance . Early the next day , as Overkirk ' s men countermarched northwards to join with Marlborough , a French detachment attacked the small force of allied troops drawn up to the west of the lines , facing south . Following a short but intense cavalry battle , in which Marlborough was often personally engaged , they were driven off , and Villeroi withdrew his army to the west , behind the river Dyle . Aftermath . Unable to pursue the French with any vigour on the day of the battle due to the exhaustion of his men , who had marched all night and then fought an intense battle , Marlborough nonetheless still hoped to bring Villeroi to battle . He was frustrated in manoeuvering to the west of the lines in the month immediately following the breakthrough . A final effort in early August , using waggons loaded with supplies to remove his dependency on his lines of communication , while successful in forcing Villeroi ' s army to make a stand close to Waterloo , ultimately failed to bring about a battle due to the veto exercised by the Dutch Field Deputies , notably Slangenburg . The Duke was forced to content himself with the capture of the fortress of Leau and the levelling of the Lines of Brabant between Leau and the Meuse .

Amawari Life . According to legend , Amawari was born to a peasant family in Yara , in Chatan " magiri " . Toppling the lord of Katsuren gusuku , Amawari seized his domain . Taking advantage of opportunities for maritime trade , he gained a degree of wealth and power , and married Momotofumi Agari , daughter of King Shō Taikyū , further solidifying his power . Anxious about Amawari ' s power , King Shō Taikyū arranged that a new castle be built at Nakagusuku , under the command and supervision of the " aji " ( landlord ) Gosamaru , between Katsuren and the royal capital of Shuri . In 1458 , Amawari accused Gosamaru of plotting to overthrow the king , and as a result came to lead the royal armies in an attack on Nakagusuku which ended in Gosamaru ' s death by suicide . Amawari then plotted to overthrow the king himself , but , his plan discovered by his wife and her attendant Oni Ōgusuku , he was attacked and defeated by royal forces led by the latter , and executed . An alternate theory , however , claims that the entire affair was organized by the royal government , in order to remove both Gosamaru and Amawari as powerful rivals and potential threats to the succession . The tale of Gosamaru ' s betrayal and destruction by Amawari is among the more famous and popular of local historical legends . A " kumiodori " dance - play telling of Gosamaru ' s sons ' quest for revenge against Amawari , was once performed as part of the kingdom ' s formal entertainment of Chinese investiture envoys , and has in more recent times become a popular favorite . Though he is introduced as a traitor in most history books , Amawari is praised by the peasantry in the " omoro " , oral traditional songs and poems relating history and legend .
