THE PLAIN STEEL marker on Sleepy Hole Road in Suffolk pings in the winter wind. It says that James Bowser was the only Negro from Nansemond County to fight in the American Revolution. \n\nread more about it on the website...\n\nit is a college with significant ties to the black community, so there is no suprise in a building being named after him.

The Army of Northern Virginia was disbanded on April 9, 1865, when General Lee surrendered at Appomattox Court House, Virginia. On April 26, General Joseph E. Johnston surrendered his Army of Tennessee and all Confederate forces in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida.\n\nOn May 15th, 1865 the last major battle of the Confederate Army was fought near Brownsville, Texas, referred to as the Battle of Palmito Ranch. The remainder of Confederate armies, mostly in the Trans-Mississippi region, surrendered by June 1865. Under the terms of the surrender agreements, Confederate officers and men returned to their homes, "not to be disturbed by United States authority so long as they observe their paroles and the laws in force where they may reside.\n\nStand Watie was the Cherokee commander of a significant pan-tribal, Native American Confederate force that did not surrender until July 23, 1865, over three months after Lee's surrender at Appomattox. Colonel William Holland Thomas commanded the "Thomas North Carolina Highland Legion," a mixed Cherokee and white unit in the eastern theater of the war. Other sources claim some Asian American representation in the Confederate ranks, primarily from the Gulf Coast of Mississippi.

North and South. Union and Confederate, it was the war over abolishing slavery. The Confederates left the United States, and started the own government as rebels and traitors. The Confederacy had it's own money (currency) and President, although I can't remember what his name was. The North (Union) defeated the South in the Civil War, and reunited the United States. So look up the Civil War on the Web through "Ask Jeeves". Good Luck.

Trick question.  Virginia split into Virginia and WEST Virginia at the time, when Virginia joined the confederacy, and West Virginia remained in the Union.

17 January 1781\nCowpens, South Carolina\nDecisive American victory\nUnited States Commander\nDaniel Morgan \nGreat Britain Commander\nSir Banastre Tarleton\n\nUS Troop Strength\n1,000 \n\nBritish Troop Strength\n1,100\n\nUS Casualties\n12 dead\n61 wounded \n\nBritish Casualties\n110 dead\n830 captured\n\nThe Battle of Cowpens was one of the many engagements between the Americans and the British during the Southern campaign during the American Revolution. The commanders specifically involved were American Brigadier General Daniel Morgan, commander of some 700 militia, including some Overmountainmen and cavalry, and 300 Continentals, and Englishman Colonel Banastre Tarleton, who headed a legion of 1,100 dragoons, regulars, Tory loyalists, and Highlanders.\n\nGeneral Cornwallis instructed Tarleton and his legion, who had been successful at battles such as Camden and Waxhaws in the past, to destroy Morgan's command. Morgan called Americans to gather at the cow pens (a grazing area), which were a familiar landmark. Tarleton attacked without caution and regard for the fact Morgan had had much more time than himself to prepare, and was consequently caught in a double envelopment. Only about 160 British troops escaped, but the Americans suffered only 73 casualties (12 dead and 61 wounded).\n\nDaniel Morgan knew that he should use the unique landscape of Cowpens and the time available before Tarleton's arrival to his advantage, and so he set up three lines of soldiers: one of skirmishers (sharpshooters), one of militia, and a main one.\n\nThe 150 select skirmishers were from North Carolina (Major McDowell) and Georgia (Major Cunningham). Behind these men were 300 militiamen under the command of Andrew Pickens. Realizing that poorly trained milita were unreliable in battle, especially when they were under attack from cavalry, Morgan decided to ask the militia to fire two shots and then retreat have them reform under cover of the reserve (cavalry commanded by William Washington and James McCall) behind the third, more experienced line of militia and continentals. The third line, composed of the remainder of the forces (about 550 men) was composed of Continentals from Delaware and Maryland, and militiamen from Georgia and Virginia. Colonel Howard commanded the Continentals and Colonels Tate and Triplett the militia. The goal of this strategy was to weaken and disorganize Tarleton's forces, which would be attacking the third line uphill, before attacking defeating them.\n\nAt 2:00 AM on January 17 1981, Tarleton roused his troops and continued his forcemarch to the cow pens. His Tory scouts had told him of the countryside Morgan was fighting on, and he was certain of victory because Morgan's soldiers, mostly militiamen, seemed to be caught between mostly experienced British troops and a flooding river. As soon as he reached the spot, he formed a battle line, which consisted of dragoons on his flanks, with his two grasshopper cannon in between the British regulars and American loyalists. More cavalry and the 71st Highlanders composed his reserve. Sure of an easy victory, he sent his unrested men into battle.\n\nMorgan's strategy worked perfectly. After killing fifteen dragoons, the skirmishers retreated. The British pulled back temporarily, but attacked again, this time reaching the militiamen, who (as ordered) poured two volleys into the British, who, with 40% of their casualties officers, were astonished and confused. They reformed and continued to advance. Pickens's militia broke and apparently fled to the rear and were eventually reorganized. Tarleton responded by ordering one of his officers, Ogilvie, to charge with some dragoons into the "defeated" Americans. Triplett's riflemen attacked, severely damaging the British, and the cavalry of Washington and McCall charged. Completely routed, the dragoons fled to their own rear. Despite this, Tarleton sensed he could still win with only one line of Ame

North, because they won the civil war, everybody loves a winner.  But then I think of their war of aggression against the south and want to live with them because you have to root for the underdog.  And besides, the South WILL rise again!  I am all ready for the victory dance.
