The answers to the questions for Week 3:
11. That which was known as Rohrbach’s Bridge prior to the Battle of Antietam (Sharpsburg) has been commonly known as Burnside’s Bridge since, after the general who launched a costly attack across it. I don’t believe it is commonly called Antietam Bridge – at least, not as commonly as it is called Burnside’s.
12. Forrest’s brother Jeffrey was killed in that battle.
13. George. Headquartered in Liverpool with an office in Charleston, Fraser, Trenholm, & Co. was half owned by George Trenholm, who became the Confederate Secretary of the Treasury.
14. Flora Cooke Stuart was the wife of Confederate General J.E.B. Stuart, sister of Confederate General John Rogers Cooke, and daughter of Union General Philip Cooke. As a couple of players pointed out, Flora’s younger sister married Jacob Sharpe, who received the rank of general before the war’s end, so Sharpe is also a correct answer.
15. On 7/17/64, Davis officially removed Joe Johnston from command of the Confederate Army of Tennessee (then defending Atlanta) and replaced him with John Bell Hood.
