US Civil War Confederate Captains Cavalry Cap

23/2/2017

 
South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union in December 1860, and was one of the founder members of the Confederacy. The bombardment of the beleaguered U.S. garrison at Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor on April 12, 1861 is normally reckoned as the first military engagement of the war.

South Carolina was a source of troops for the Confederate army, and as the war progressed, also for the Union, as thousands of ex-slaves flocked to join the Union forces.

The state also provided uniforms, textiles, food, and war material, as well as trained soldiers and leaders from The Citadel and other military schools. In contrast to most other Confederate states, South Carolina had a well-developed rail network linking all of its major cities without a break of gauge. Relatively free from Union occupation until the very end of the war, South Carolina hosted a number of prisoner of war camps.

South Carolina also was the only Confederate state not to harbor pockets of anti-secessionist fervor strong enough to send large amounts of white men to fight for the Union, as every other state in the Confederacy did.

J. H. Silverberg was a Confederate Cap maker located in Charleston County, South Carolina. The Confederate Cavalry Captains cap in the picture is a reproduction taking the manufacturer label  J. H. Silverberg to reflect this caps potential history.
