Here are some photos from the...

Canton City Cemetery
Canton, Madison, County, Mississippi

This post is not so much an overview of this cemetery as it is part of my research on my Texas ancestors who served in the 3rd​ Texas Cavalry Regiment. I had 5 ancestors who were the brothers, brother-in-law and nephews of my 2XGreadGrandfather from Mississippi. The brother-in-law buried here was Levi H. Cole, of Company F, 3rd​ Texas Cavalry, which was currently dismounted.
Due to the very hot day, I didn't spend much time in the cemetery. I did take photos of other Texans who were buried there and a few more from units of interest. There were other Texas regiments that were in the same...

Mission Statement

CivilWarTalk is a forum for students and fans of the American Civil War. Our online community of Historians, Skirmishers, Re-enactors, Educators, and Enthusiasts is dedicated to the exchange of ideas and information related to the War Between the States. Our goal is to become the leading resource for every researcher seeking historical information and opinions relating to the American Civil War.

The American Civil War

The American Civil War, arguably the most traumatic event in the history of the United States, was fought from 1861 to 1865, and was the culmination of sectional issues which deeply divided the country between a pro-Federal government North and a pro-states rights, in the pro-slavery South, whose eleven states formed a breakaway government called the Confederate States of America. The costliest war in terms of human lives, the American Civil War claimed in excess of 620,000 battle or disease-related deaths - roughly two percent of the country's total population, and nearly more deaths than all other American wars combined.
