weakest american civil war soldier

William is a strange Confederate soldier of the American Civil War. With one arm and a massively decorated career. Old Blizzards wanted to end his journey in the land of Egypt with fame and glory. This part of US history didn't go so well

While we are on this topic, It is estimated that up to 20,000 Confederate soldiers immigrated to the Empire of Brazil from the Southern United States after the American Civil War. Initially, most settled in the current state of Sao Paulo, where they founded the city of Americana. Looking into it apparently, there is a Fraternity of American Descendants, an organization dedicated to preserving their culture with an annual festival, funded by the Brazilian government. The festival is marked by Confederate flags, Confederate war songs, traditional dress of Confederate uniforms, hoop skirts, and food of the American South.

If you haven't yet, cover "Fighting" Joe Wheeler. Interesting guy. Like many Southern officers, he first fought in the Mexican-American war, then joined the Confederacy when his home state seceded. Fairly successful commander, was said to be the only one making any difference against Sherman's troops at Atlanta. However, it's his post-war life where things get interesting. After the war, he was initially just a farmer and lawyer, settled down to have a family. Then he was elected to Congress as Representative of Alabama, where he helped create the whole "special relationship" thing between the US and Britain that would be very important in the next century. And then, after this, he rejoined the US military to fight in the Spanish-American war. Wheeler commanded the same army that included Roosevelt's Rough Riders, and there befriended a fellow Civil War veteran he worked alongside, former Union General William Rufus Schafter. The two were clearly actual friends, because they both decided to star in a silent movie together after the war called "the Surrender of General Toral" Schafter would eventually retire, but Wheeler remained in service well into the Phillipine War, where he insisted the Filipinos were mutilating their own dead to discredit General Otis. In both wars, he would reportedly become excited in battle mistakenly refer to the Spaniards and Filipinos as "Yankees", crying out to his men that "we got them Yankees on the run now boys!" It was partway through this war that the Army finally forced the now elderly Wheeler to retire, because he was like 60. He is one of the few Confederates to be buried at Arlington. Funny enough, he also had something of an "Arch Dornan" moment. At the hundredth anniversary celebration of the West Point academy, Wheeler attended wearing his most recent uniform, that of a Brigadier General of the United States Army. His fellow ex-Confederate, James Longstreet, spotted him and told him "Joe, I hope that Almighty God takes me before he does you, for I want to be within the gates of hell to hear Jubal Early cuss you in the blue uniform.", Jubal Early being their old superior. Longstreet did indeed die before Wheeler, though it remains to be seen if Wheeler did get chewed out by his angry old boss during his final judgement.

[@Thecognoscenti_1]

There was also an American southerner from the same period who served in the Taiping army. He was named Henry Andres Burgevine (Chinese name 白齊文) who was the son of a French Napoleonic officer. He found himself in China as a soldier for the Ever Victorious Army defending Shanghai from the Taipings but for various reasons he defected to the enemy and served under the senior Taiping field commander Tan Shaoguang. He ended up surrendering to his old Qing unit when Tan's situation became hopeless, was exiled to Yokohama, and banned from entering China ever again, but he nevertheless violated this ruling twice and attempted to rejoin the remnants of the Taiping army under Li Shixian, or "the Lost Cause" of China at the time if you catch my drift. The Qing government repeatedly requested permission to try him but as Americans had extraterritorial rights in China this was rejected. In the end, after his second violation and capture by the Qing government, the boat in which he was being transported to Suzhou to be repatriated mysteriously and totally accidentally sank, with him drowning in the disaster. Make a video about him with the instrumental Chinese Dixie lol.
