Franz Sigel (November 18, 1824 – August 21, 1902) was a German military officer, revolutionist and immigrant to the United States.
In the US he was a teacher, newspaperman, politician, and served as a Union Major general in the American Civil War.
His ability to recruit German-speaking immigrants to the Union armies got him the approval of President Abraham Lincoln.
But he was strongly disliked by General-in-Chief Henry Halleck and rated overall as a poor leader.
Sigel was born in Sinsheim, Baden (Germany).
He attended the gymnasium in Bruchsal.
He graduated from Karlsruhe Military Academy in 1843, and was commissioned as a lieutenant in the Baden Army.
In 1848 he was a part of the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states.
When the revolution failed he fled, eventually immigrating to New York City.
There he worked at a number of different jobs.
These include a teacher, musician, surveyor and the owner of a cigar store.
In 1854 Sigel married Elsie Dulon.
In 1857 he moved to St Louis, Missouri where he was one of the founders of a monthly magazine.
He was the superintendent at the German Institute and joined the Republican Party.
He attracted German immigrants to the Republican party because of their strong anti-slavery sentiment.
At the start of the Civil War, Sigel volunteered to support Abraham Lincoln and the Union cause.
Because of his military experience, he was given command of the Third Missouri Infantry.
He recruited many German-Americans to the Union cause with the slogan, "I goes to fight mit Sigel."
His commission as Colonel held a date of rank of May 4, 1861.
Because he was a key figure in recruiting immigrants to the Union army, President Lincoln had him promoted to Brigadier general two weeks later.
In the meanwhile, he was attached to Brigadier general Nathaniel Lyon's Union Army of the West.
Sigel and his soldiers helped put down a riot the St. Louis area.
The incident was known as the Camp Jackson Affair.
He led a Flanking maneuver at Battle of Wilson's Creek, surprising and attacking the Confederate forces from their rear while Lyon attacked them from the front.
On March 8, 1862, at the Battle of Pea Ridge, Sigel commanded two division (military)s in the victory against Major General Earl Van Dorn (CSA).
Sigel was promoted to major general after the battle of Pea Ridge.
He served as a division commander in the Shenandoah Valley and fought unsuccessfully against Maj.
Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson.
He commanded a Union corps at the Second Battle of Bull Run.
Here he was wounded in the hand.
In early 1863, Sigel lobbied the War Department for more troops.
But his requests were refused.
In early 1864 he was given command of the Army of West Virginia.
In 1864 his army was defeated in the Battle of New Market.
This loss and his failure to prevent Confederate attacks in Northern Virginia led to his removal from command.
Although he remained in the army until May 1865, he was not given another command.
Career after the Civil War
Sigel resigned his commission on May 4, 1865.
He worked as editor of the Baltimore Wecker for a short time.
He was then a newspaper editor in New York City.
He filled a variety of political positions there, both as a Democrat and a Republican.
In 1869, he ran on the Republican ticket for Secretary of State of New York.
He lost to the incumbent Democrat Homer Augustus Nelson.
In May 1871 he became collector of internal revenue, and then in October 1871 register of the city.
In 1887, President Grover Cleveland appointed him pension agent for the city of New York.
He also lectured, worked in advertising and published the New York Monthly, a German-American magazine, for some years.

An agonist is a type of chemical known as a ligand.
It binds to a receptor.
It activates (switches on) the receptor to produce a response.
An agonist causes an action.
There are also antagonists which block the action of the agonists, and there are inverse agonists which cause an action opposite to that of the agonist.
This is typical of the systems which regulate the body.
Being able to control activity is the basis of homeostasis.
Types of agonists
Receptors can be activated by either endogenous or exogenous agonists.
Both types result in a biological response.
Endogenous agonists include hormones and neurotransmitters.
Exogenous agonists include drugs.
A substance which causes the same bodily responses, but does not bind to the same receptor is called a physiological agonist.
The endogenous agonist for serotonin receptors is serotonin, and the endogenous agonist for dopamine receptors is dopamine.
Morphine is an exogenous agonist.
It mimics the actions of endorphins at certain receptors in the central nervous system.

It continued the phalanx formation or shield wall of infantry armed with polearms in use during antiquity and the Middle Ages.
The line formation used soldiers standing or moving side by side forming a line.
The line formation provided the best front for volley fire.
However the line could not change direction easily and was open to attack by cavalry.
Frederick the Great used the line formation, or “march by lines” as a part of his oblique order to fix this problem.
The other part of the oblique order was the “attack in echelon” (change to column formation and angle slightly towards the enemy).
This way his line of soldiers, usually two ranks deep, could easily change the direction they faced.
17th century line formation
An infantry battalion would form "in line" by placing troops in several ranks.
They could range in number from two to five, with two or three being the most common.
During the 17th century lines thinned out and became longer.
Using this line formation required greater discipline since the two opposing armies were often only  apart.
During the American Civil War the standard formation for both attacking and defending was the line formation.
The line allowed the maximum number of soldiers to fire their weapons without hitting their own men.
The line formation worked best in open fields.
The line could not move well in wooded areas or in rough terrain.
Both sides were still using tactics that were used in the American Revolutionary War.
During earlier wars including the Napoleonic Wars, single-shot smoothbore muskets were used with fixed bayonets.
A line would advance to about  from the enemy line and fire in volley (all at the same time).
Muskets were not very accurate and by all firing at the same time they were more likely to hit enemy soldiers.
After firing their one shot the soldiers would all move the line forward for a bayonet charge.
The new weapons in use at the beginning of the war made the older tactic unnecessary.
Newer rifles and rifle muskets were now available that could allow the defenders to start firing at  to  yards away.
The development of the Minié ball (bullet) also increased the accuracy of rifles at longer ranges.
Modern warfare
A loose line formation is also used by many modern forces during assaults.
It allows the use of maximum firepower to concentrate in one direction at once.
This is useful when attacking an enemy position.
It also enables the use of fire and movement.

Howard County is a county in the U.S. state of Missouri.
Its southern border is the Missouri River.
As of the 2010 census, the population was 10,144.
The county was organized January 23, 1816 and named for Benjamin Howard, the first Governor of the Missouri Territory.
Howard County was settled mainly from the upper Southern states of Kentucky, Tennessee and Virginia.
They brought slaves and slaveholding traditions with them and grew hemp and tobacco.
Howard was one of several counties settled mainly by Southerners along the Missouri River in the center of the state.
Because of this, this area became known as Little Dixie, and Howard County was at its heart.
Following the 1848 revolutions in germany, many German immigrants also came to this region.
Because of the reliance on slave labor, by 1860 African American slaves made up at least 25 percent of the county's population.
Many Howard County residents supported the Confederacy during the Civil War.
After the end of Reconstruction, Jim Crow laws and racial segregation were enforced in the county.
Five African Americans were lynched in Howard County between 1891 and 1914.
These were Olli Truxton, Frank Embree, Thomas Hayden, Arthur McNeal, and Dallas Shields.
The county continued to be developed for agriculture and is still mostly rural.
However, Howard has lost population since reaching its peak in 1900.
The mechanization of farming reduced the demand for labor, and many people left for jobs in the cities.
In 2000 African-Americans in the county had declined to less than 7 percent of the total.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of , of which  is land and  (1.6%) is water.

Fayette is a city in Howard County, Missouri, United States.
The population was 2,688 at the 2010 census.
Fayette is part of the Columbia, Missouri Metropolitan statistical area.
Fayette was made county seat in 1823.
It was named for Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette, who at the time was soon expected to pay a visit to the United States from France.
It was incorporated in 1855.
The original Town of Fayette was first settled by Hiram Fugate and Hickerson Burnham.
Each one gave 25 s of land for the location of the county seat.
The town was surveyed and laid out in 1823 by Judge Alfred W. Morrison.
He later became the sheriff and county judge.
The original town layout formed a rectangle, about three blocks wide and seven blocks long with a public "square" in the center.
It was divided into 150 [[wikt:lot}|]]s, with numbering beginning at the southeast corner of the square.
The four major streets bordered the square originally were named "First Main" (east side), "Second Main" (west side), "First Main Cross" (south side) and "Second Main Cross" (north side).
In 1900, because of the confusion, the street names were changed to "Main", "Church", "Morrison", and "Davis", respectively.
It should be noted that the Fayette Square configuration is an example of the "Shelbyville Square", so called from its prototype in Shelbyville, Tennessee.
This plan included a central courthouse and used the block of the grid plan to lay out the streets.
The Shelbyville plan and other central courthouse plans were widely adopted in Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri. "
