I was a Union general active in the western theater. Later in the war, I returned to my home state to command its state guard. Under my direction, the state guard arrested a large number of Confederate sympathizers, who were tried by military tribunals. Eventually, the US Supreme Court ruled that these trials were unconstitutional.
I believed I was the reincarnation of a famous person, whose birthday (and death day) I commemorated every year.
Who Am I?
and
Who did I believe was reincarnated as me?

Easter Bonus:
“A senior sergeant told a handful of men from the _______ that they should retreat to rejoin their regiment. The men refused, saying, ‘…we have the flag, some men from each company’ and therefore ‘…"we are the regiment and will stay right here as long as we have ammunition.”’”
Which regiment?
What battle?
