The Civil War was our worst war in many ways. I'm glad I wasn't alive then, although to me that particular era is the most interesting in our history. I just wouldn't have wanted to live it. Both sides had their heroes. Here's one I happen to know about: If he'd been on the Union side, he would have won a posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor. John Pelham (September 7, 1838 – March 17, 1863) was an artillery officer who served with the Confederate cavalry under J.E.B. Stuart during the American Civil War. Dubbed "The Gallant Pelham" for his military prowess and personal courage, Pelham revolutionized the usage of light artillery as a mobile arm of the cavalry.[citation needed] John Pelham (officer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (15 October 2009) en.wikipedia.org
