[Trivia Master]

Question: With a heavy heart, I went with my state in 1861 as I would not fight against my family. But my nephew fought against his uncles and cousins. He graduated West Point in 1849 near the bottom of his class and served as aide-de-camp to my "holy" adversary during Second Manassas. Who is my nephew?
