Gen Morgan who escaped yank prison only to be given up (and murdered by union cavalry) later in Tennersee. The women that gave him up for the reward money was later shot down by one of Morgan's men. Gen Morgan was Bro. in law to a few Generals like Basil Duke, I think.

This yank was taken at a young age from his parents home and raised by a man who was later a Union Commander. The young lad filled a void for the folks who had lost their only son. He later became pretty good (unfortunately) at running various ships due to this guys training and guidance. This man retained his birth fathers name, however. He was a cajun fella by birth.

Who made this statement ??
"Any people, anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable and most sacred right - a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people that can, may revolutionize, and make their own, of so many of the territory as they inhabit."
