I was wondering if anyone had made a list of the decedents of presidents who served in the military during the Civil War?
No more so then the rest of usWould the children and grandchildren of ex presidents have some extra obligation to serve their nation or their state?
Fillmore's son did not serve, even though he was only in his mid-30s. Abraham Van Buren was a West Point grad who fought in Mexico and was in his late 50s, but did not re-enter the service for the CW.Would the children and grandchildren of ex presidents have some extra obligation to serve their nation or their state?
Wasn't Lincoln's son , Robert, a captain in the army?
