This future Confederate General was born in Prince Edward County, Virginia, and studied at Marion College in Missouri before moving to Mississippi to practice law and teach school. He saw service in the Texas War for Independence, enlisting as a private and rising to the rank of captain.
He acquired a sugar cane plantation in Louisiana and served two terms in the Louisiana legislature. Upon the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted as a private but was immediately elected lieutenant colonel. Who is He?

bonus:
I was killed during the first battle of the American Revolution. I died 84 years later, after an armed confrontation that I was involved in failed - an event that some say, led to the American Civil War.
